Turning into your parentsUnable to hold back the genetic tide, I find myself gardening in my carpet slippers, asking for a knife and fork in McDonalds and agreeing with the Daily Telegraph. I'm beyond help - what about you?
Thanks to b3th for the suggestion

Disgusted of N1I regularly write to newspapers (I once got the phrase “tofu-weaving drivel” published in the Guardian on Saturday magazine section) and the BBC to point out mistakes and complain about various aspects of their coverage, particularly of science and health issues.
This does not turn me into my parents (*), but exposes me for the sad, whiny little pedant that I’ve clearly turned into.
And that makes me happy.
(*) turning me into my parents would require me to either become a much nicer person with a better social life or to become dead.
