For example, mine is that I love watching Antiques Roadshow.
My old person trait is being 72.
You! The only person on Lemmy older than me!
I have opinions on my lawn and your proximity to it.
When out eating and drinking, my preference is to go and order food and drink at the counter/bar, rather than install some app or give a website all my personal information before I can order.
What? This is a thing at restaurants now?
Involuntary groans whenever I sit down or stand up.
Arthritis, so I can predict rain with my knees.
I have several joint damaging injuries. I’ve broken my ankle, torn the cartilage in my knee, and dislocated my shoulder fourteen times - and not only are those only the joint injuries, but only those that have required surgery.
Last year, during a change of seasons, I was visiting a local diner for a takeout order and asked if they minded if I sat down to wait for my order, explaining that I was a damaged individual. They, of course, acquiesced, but then the owner of the venue asked if I noticed more pain during inclement weather.
That was the first time over about thirty years of owies that I realized my pain might be correlated with barometric pressure.
I avoid going out during busy times - e.g., rush hour, school zones, restaurants on a Friday or Saturday night.
I love shoehorns and sneeze loudly.
Didn’t realise these were old person traits but then these are also mine.
I like to go to bed at 9/10 and wake up at 4/6
The older I get the earlier my bedtime/alarm gets.
My old person trait is my knees.
I have a drawer in the garage titled “uncle solutions”, it has a collection of rusted wire, bits of electric wire and similar shit for “quick fixes”. I also just bought me and my SO nordic walking sticks, we still need to get matching trekking suits. Oh and I dream about retiring to a remote cottage and growing my own veggies like proper siberian babushka.
I have never purchased a smartphone and don’t want one. I still prefer to use a flip phone. Their quality has improved over the years so I haven’t been forced to switch yet.
70+ and mine is playing world of warcraft.
How is the WoW community these days? I played A LOT back in the day but stopped about 8 years ago. Have you played for a while? It crosses my mind every so often, just curious.
I played in the same guild since before 2010 and we did up to HC raids and some M+. After the previous expansion it sort of began to fall asleep and I have mostly been playing tier 11 delves solo and story content, and some random groups, since then. I play almost every day when I’m not on FFXIV. Have some 24000h logged so I guess I think it’s fun still 😀
I can’t say much about the community as a whole. I can see in forums that some people are having issues, but I have generally met very nice people.
I try like hell to avoid shopping at peak times. Before Covid, I could shop at 2am, but now I’m one of the oldsters waiting for the place to open at 7 or 8am.
I also like Antiques Roadshow, but only the American version. I don’t give two shits about your mums tea set that was signed by the Queen’s dog-wrangler that you paid 50 quid for that’s now worth 200 pounds.
I love an early supper.

I putter in the garden.
If it isn’t done by 10:00 am then it isn’t getting done.
My age 😁
