It's more to do with experience than age in itself for me I think. If I'm new in a workplace I don't feel justified in being irritable and expressing it if something seems wrong/annoying/stupid to me, because there could be some method to the madness I'm not aware of yet. I'm very experienced in my workplace now so I'm very quick to tell people to fuck off if I'm being requested to do something I shouldn't have to or stopping other people if they're doing something stupid.
It was the same with driving, when I first started and someone honked their horn my first thoughts would be "What have I done wrong?" Now my thoughts are usually "What the fuck is your problem?"
I think my irritability has remained fairly stable and I am more likely to feel justified in expressing it now after having a bit of life experience.
The exceptions to my irritability remaining stable are things that do cause me to get moody, lack of sleep, lack of food, last minute plan changes, (when I used to smoke) lack of nicotine, being alone for too long, being indoors for too long. Also that brief teenage period of around 12-16, I was pretty moody then.

Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
