...wait'll a Scout asks to help you across the street....No, it's just old. I do it too.
The more disturbing episode for me was when a young lady offered me her seat. Nothing says, "Damn, you're old!" more than that.

....and since I've had gray/white hair for sometime now-when a waitress lays the Senior Menu in front of me....The young kid that delivers my stock every night (I think he's 21 or 22) always calls me "Mister William". Man, that makes me feel old because that's how I address my elders.

I go to a thrift store that offers Senior Discount days. I was totally offended when the cashier asked me if I was 55 or older.. I don't think that I look that old??
I had something similar happen except in a kind of reverse way several years ago with my ex. We pulled into a liquor store drive thru and we were talking about how she always got carded when she tried to buy liquor and I've literally never been carded in my whole life for liquor. Anyway, we pull thru, dude asks what he can get for us, I tell him, he brings it back to the window to ring it up. I decide to ask him on impulse, "Do you need my ID?". The guy literally stops keying in the sale and gives a quick but completely audible barking laugh. "No...no man, I think we're good on that score."....lolI go to a thrift store that offers Senior Discount days. I was totally offended when the cashier asked me if I was 55 or older..

....I recall the time that Tracy and I went in to pick up some libations and the wiener behind the counter wanted to know if "you or your Dad" was paying for it!!!....I replied "I got your dad RIGHT HERE!!".....I had something similar happen except in a kind of reverse way several years ago with my ex.

LMAO......that has never happened to me...lol...wow. The only time I've been carded in my life was at Wal-Mart a year or so ago for a pack of Marlboro's. I stared at the clerk in complete disbelief, I was by myself and admittedly not in the best of humor that day for what could have been a multitude of reasons. I remember telling the clerk I was 21 years old x 2 and add a couple for good measure. I think they must have had a blanket carding policy for a while or something, never been carded since that one time....just hit me wrong...lol....I recall the time that Tracy and I went in to pick up some libations and the wiener behind the counter wanted to know if "you or your Dad" was paying for it!!!....I replied "I got your dad RIGHT HERE!!".....

I recall back in the day when my mantra was 'Don't trust anyone over 30.' Now it's 'Don't trust anyone under 30.'It's really bad when they don't even ask and you look at your receipt and it says Senior Discount. (BTW, 55 is not old)
