To think that some behaviours should be grown out of?

[6079SmithW]

I'm fully prepared to get flamed but I genuinely wonder if I'm the only person who thinks this?

I was talking today to a friend who was at a wedding which was ruined by a couple of (adult) men getting drunk like adolescents.

It made me think of behaviours (from men and women) that perhaps should be grown out of:
Drinking irresponsibly?
Collecting soft toys?
Obsessive gaming?
Football stickers or footballers' autographs?
Fawning over pop stars?

So are there others you would add to the list or AIBU?

Once I've finished my very grown up 11 and a half hour shift, I'm looking forward to going to my flat that I pay for on my own like an adult, and going to bed and playing some of that awful Pokemon on my terrible, childish 3DS.

Some people on here sound really fucking boring...

I think the think with gaming is that there are - quite a few - people whose gaming does get in the way of necessary adulting. We read about them on AIBU and Relationships threads on here. It's less the gaming itself than the (teenagerish) self-indulgence with it that's the problem here.

I do think adults should have grown out of living through social media - posting every selfie, every thought, tallying their popularity by numbers of likes and friends, airing conflicts via FB status and using unfriending as a weapon.

Oh FFS. And I should have grown out of not rereading my posts. I think the THING with gaming etc.

Agreed.
Enjoy whatever you like but don't sit for hours on end playing games acting like it's a big deal where life has to be on pause for it.

There are lots of 'adult' behaviours which can have a negative impact on families, though. Workaholism (really, people who are obsessive about their careers shouldn't marry and have kids. The world needs the obsessive, driven inventor-types but they are hell to live with.)
Extreme monogamy fetishism of the sort that is constantly checking up on a partner.
Excessive houseproudness, where the kids can't play with their toys in case it 'makes a mess' and no one can enjoy a meal without constant squeaking and tutting about the possibility of spilling something.
Officiousness and perpetual meddling and gossiping.

OK, pretty much anything can be difficult to live with if it's overdone, but I have always been suspicious of people who are suspicious of things that give other people pleasure.
