25 Things Women Over 40 Officially No Longer Tolerate

#1

I don’t care that I have a California king and I sleep on one half and the other half is a two-week pile of clothes out of the dryer.

#2

We do not care if our shoes are cute. Comfortable shoes only.

#3

I do not care if people think my legs are too fat for shorts. It’s hot. You’re lucky I’m wearing anything.

#4

We do not care if a side part or a middle part is the hot trend. We style our hair whatever way the wind blows.

#5

I do not care if people don’t like me. Even if they are related to me.

#6

We don’t care that we want to be home all day on our days off! Everything I like is at home. I paid for it, Imma stay in it!

#7

Logging in from the Paris, France chapter of the WDNC club. We do not care if carbs and butter are ‘bad’ for us. Give us the damn croissant and nobody gets hurt.

#8

We do not care that we no longer keep a poker face at work. My eyebrow said what it said.

We do not care if we have pet hair all over our clothes. Our pets are the only people we like

#10

I do not care that my hair has been in a ponytail since 2001.

#11

WDNC about washing instructions. If it can’t survive a cold wash and a dry cycle, then it wasn’t for me anyway

#12

I do not care if my resting b—— face offends anyone. It’s my face, it’s not going to change right now.

#13

WDNC if the house is clean when you come over, also don’t come over.

#14

I’m POST menopausal- I’m in. I could stay in my room w/o people, in sweats, with a book for YEARS! I don’t care about clean ANYthing! I am exerting my DOMINANCE after 70 years of service! NO is my new word!

#15

WDNC Club….I finally found my people!!!!! WDNC if anyone can tell if we don’t have a bra on under the hoodie. The hoodie is an automatic exemption from a bra.

#16

I do not care to wear high heels anymore. flats and flip flops are the way to go. I do not care to follow fashion trends

#17

I do not care that this club is for perimenopause/menopause women and I’m in my 20s, I relate to everything

#18

I don’t care that I came home.. got in the bed at 5 o’clock.. ate potato chips and raisins for dinner..and am fully under these covers

#19

We do not care if it says ‘Not Dishwasher Safe.’ It’s about to learn some hard lessons in this house

#20

I don’t not care if the 26 year old I work with thinks I “spoke mean” to her. And I don’t care that my 28 year old manager had to talk to me about it.

#21

I do not care how long it takes for me to put my wallet back into my purse after I pay for my groceries. Your turn starts when I am finished. Don’t rush me.

We don’t care about learning new music. The ’90s was the best era anyway!

#23

WDNC to go to another work event. My teambuilding skills expired and will not be renewed.

#24

We do not care if the AC is on 60. Don’t touch that fan. If you’re cold, get an extra blanket. I’m good.

#25

We do not care if we said we would go. We changed our minds as soon as we got home.

Shanilou has always loved reading and learning about the world we live in. While she enjoys fictional books and stories just as much, since childhood she was especially fascinated by encyclopaedias and strangely enough, self-help books. As a kid, she spent most of her time consuming as much knowledge as she could get her hands on and could always be found at the library. Now, she still enjoys finding out about all the amazing things that surround us in our day-to-day lives and is blessed to be able to write about them to share with the whole world as a profession.
