I cannot properly express my rage over my 28 year old coworker complaining about feeling tired and how hard it is getting old...I'm 44. Can we all agree that people shouldn't complain about "being old" until they're at least 38?

If that causes you rage, that seems to be a you problem. Hopefully you don’t work with gamma rays or we are all in trouble

I'm 54 and rage when 44 year olds complain about feeling old and tired. Youre just a baby still

I'm 38 and laugh at old people sometimes. Respectfully of course.

Everyone is allowed to suffer. You don’t get to gatekeep feeling old or rundown because you have been alive longer. If you try to tell me that you didn’t feel old or worn out at 28, that’s great for you but many people do. Life can be hard even with 16 years less under the belt. Try to be empathetic instead of comparative

I'm 42 and work with mostly 22-26 year olds. It's funny. I give them mom-advice, they tell me about their quarter life crisis. Its fair.

You can always find someone who has it harder than you. Relax

Being 28 in this economy is equivalent to being 44 😭🤣
