Letting autoincorrect slip in homonyms
Vision. It gets hard to read in low light, driving at night is tough, you can’t quite figure out how close or far to hold a book or phone.
Alcohol. You just don’t shake it off like you did when you were younger. Now you really think about whether that next drink will be worth the shitty sleep.
Money. You talk about property taxes and 401k contributions more often than you ever thought you would.
Patience. You’re more patient with kids and your parents, and way less patient with everything else.
Memory and visual attention when you get closer to 60. You can’t remember all 10 digits of a new phone number with an unfamiliar area code; often one of the 4 last numbers will end up transposed with a neighbor. Visual attention: looking on your garage shelves or cupboards for an item and not seeing it even though it’s in plain sight.
Is it not normal? This describes me perfectly and I’m not even 30 yet. (Well in a few months I won’t be able to say that anymore, but still)

and my own phone number, nothing else.This is my ringtone.
Pimples just becoming permanent weird little bumps
You can’t stand grindy videogames. You see young adults as children, and their behavior becomes irritating.
definately physical pain on stuff you used to do on the regular. Had a job were I would get impatient waiting for a delivery and would jump off the dock to go check if I could see the truck. A little after I got into my thirties I jumped off one day and just stopped and stood still in a crouched position for a bit. I never “felt” the landing like I did that day before. It was the sart of what would be a long line of things I would cease to do.
When you fall down nobody laughs. Only concern.
Next up: you don’t fall down, you “have a fall”.
My what?
Your getting older. They are asking the abstract noun representing your aging what some signs are. I don’t think your getting older is going to be able to answer, though, and I doubt it has much knowledge of signs.
TURN UP YOUR HEARING AIDS OLD TIMER
You mix up your and you’re.
My tolerance for incorrect use of your / you’re gets lower.
As does mine. But mixing it up gets higher 😉
It’s funny, because my tolerance of people correcting other people’s grammar or spelling gets lower.

You start correcting people when they say “your” instead of “you’re” :-)
Quite the opposite.
The older you get the less clever it feels to point out the common mistakes of others
It’s replaced with a desire to help people be better.

Agreed. Matter of fact, I usually direct the offending party to one of two, if not both, sites.

Always a good time.
I agree actually, I was only kidding because of the subject of the post.
Finding grey hair in your beard. The first time I started to feel older was once I found a couple grey hair in my beard. None in my hair, just beard
Nah you’re not really old until you find grey hair in your pubes
Haha, thanks!
When I get up after sitting on the ground for a while my knees are stiff.
Get off my lawn.
My knees. I am past 30, and my knees somehow don’t want to bend anymore.
On the other hand the older I get, the smarter I get about life. Do some physical activity on a regular basis, keep some long term goals in mind, don’t let your emotional state depend on external factors.
Find balance in your life and know your limits and you will be all right.
I have learned the difference between “your” and “you’re”.
For me, it’s correcting people that.
I guess I’m still growing as a person
It’s daytime. Or nighttime. Or evening or morning. Or you don’t know what time of day it is but you’re conscious. Any of these situations indicates aging is happening.
Presbyopia
That you are alive is the surest sign.
