For some reason I have the horrible habit of raising my voice by 100 when talking with anyone over the age of 70.
Why would you raise your voice like that?
I hate the way they talk, it's so annoying, and they never can hear me.
A lot of old people can't hear well. So it makes sense to raise your voice when around them.
What so I shouldn't give them a hard time for that?
No, they can't do anything about it, it just comes with old age. Typically the elder really like when you are talking loud so they don't have to ask you to speak up.
