the things that frustrates me most about getting older is my eyesight failing
and needing glasses to read drives me insane ,because i can never find them no matter how many pairs i buy theres never a pair at hand .drives me up the wall . what drives you nuts about getting older ?
In my case it's the QWERTY keyboard that drives me round the bend.
Who gave them permission to move the letters about to the extent that most of the time the ones that I want have moved to another place and require me to go and find them before I can finish a letter?
Come to think about it, the spelling on them is noot as gode as it udsed to be, orf exmple I m loking for the letre 'F' at the mumont.................................
All I can think of that drives me potty ,is that instead of becoming less intense, with the fear&.phobias,they seem to be more intense & this makes me feel less able to remove them

The thing that frustrates me about getting older is that I have still have the brain of a teenager but a body that doesn't match it! Can't keep up.
There is a lot of things that drives me mad, but I'm not listing them all. lol
Now Tis, my problem is similar to yours, but as I got older I had to have Bi-Focals, having Dystonia does not help matters in my condition. It's like the Optician said "Having contact lenses are out the question!" as well.
I'm not sure if you seen what Dystonia actually does when it's Generalized, but believe it is very difficult to live with, ("come to think of it, my wife sometimes says that about me!" 
) Every pair of spectacles I was forever breaking, I would pop the screws out then the lenses would fall out. I had spare glasses but they were put together with my own DIY, longer screws - but they used to stab me in the eye lids if they slipped.
The pair I got now seem indestructible, I told the optician about all the problems I have with wearing spectacles, like screws popping out, lenses falling, because I am heavy handed. He took all my problems in to account, and come up with a really nice pair that I've had for over 18 months now, and I am pleased with them. I can't pop the screws out he put a small amount of Super-Glue on the ends of the screws so they cannot come out, and these frames are super bendy. Now, you're thinking why would I want bendy frames! SImple I keep falling asleep with them on - I have found them in so many places in the bed, some have been uncomfortable!
My wife on the other hand has a very different problem with hers!! LOL She bought a really nice pair of spectacles, interchanging frames, etc. A few days later she come in the room without her glasses om, I said "OMG, what have you done around your eyes?" she said "Nothing, why?" - I said "You better look in a mirror, you like Harry Potter, gone wrong!" all I heard was "WTH, how did that happen?" - she phoned the optician and he said you must have a problem wearing anything metal. She had her frames changed to plastic! LOL - After that we thought about it, neither of us wear wedding rings, even though we are married. She stopped wearing hers because of the metal irritates her skin. Mine I don't waer because I kept catching mine and it kept cutting my finger in the same place.
Always fun in our house! in stupid ways!

Les.
Another thing that frustrates me is that my eyesight's not that great now and it hurts them to read a long post like that Les! So I have to either skip the posts or take about an hour a bit at a time to reply.
LOL... Sorry, Georgia...
Here you go a small one just for you!!
One morning my wife woke me up, and said "What have you done, it looks like you've had a nose bleed in bed, but your face is clean!" - I thought thats impossible.. until I moved, I found I had bit myself in the back with my false teeth which I had forgot to take out. There was a whole "U" bend of teeth marks in my back and still bleeding on my white t-shirt!! LMAO
My wife is always telling people, he the only person she knows that can bite himself in the back!! hehehe
Hehehe brilliant! That's a rare talent indeed and one you should be very proud of. I'd due for a set of partial dentures if I can get there!
By the way thanks for the small one; I always wanted a small one!
