It’s happening to me this year and I feel it. I’m going to be an old fart that I said I never wanted to be. Wish I owned a lawn to yell at kids to get off of, guess I’ll just have to settle with being grumpy in the hallway of my rental whenever I cross paths with another human.

i crossed that threshold a little 2 years ago and both my eye sight and hearing immediately started calling it quits once i hit 40. i always thought that being a stereotypical broke ass millennial would keep me young so long as i didn't have a lawn or medicare to obsess over, but it's clear that it's not true since i've lost count how many times gen-z'ers misidentified me as a boomer and fellow millennials keep insisting on pushing the millennial birth year further up.
