This is a "man" thing as far as I know (ladies, correct me if I'm wrong) but the surest sign of ageing for us chaps is when we start making that "Eeeeeyuhh" sound when we have to bend down and pick something up . . . or get out of a chair . . . or lower ourselves into a chair . . . or . . . well, you get the message.

Men who have not noticed themselves doing this but now start to do so may sink into gloom and despondency when they recognise the trait in themselves. Don't worry, you'll soon forget all about it.
