Ear hair and nose hair are weird. You don't have them when you are young, so why get them when you are old? If you didn't need them at 20, why do you need them at 60? Makes no sense.
I used to look at old people moving around, and wonder why they moved so slowly. I thought, they must be stiff. Then I got older, and I realized, old people move like that because they are in pain. It's not stiffness, it's pain. Pain makes them look stiff. When you are old, you can lie in one position on a bed, and it will start to hurt. It never hurt when you were young, but when you get old even lying down can be painful.
Sometimes, a pain will come from nowhere, for no reason at all. You'll be sitting, and you'll get a stabbing pain in your ankle, or your thigh, or wherever. It will stab for a few seconds, then just as suddenly as it came, it goes away. It comes for no reason and goes for no reason.
Getting gray sucks as well. You go from being dark-haired with a touch of gray, to being gray-haired with a touch of dark. I'm lucky, though. God gifted me with the best hair known to mankind. It's not even starting to thin anywhere. I'll have a full head of hair when I die.
