55 years old, and look it

[SteveHa]

Nevertheless, I've just been refused an Amazon delivery because I have no proof of age with me. I pointed to my face, bald head and greying beard, not to mention the wrinkles, but apparently not good enough.

And all for a coil of wire.

Has common sense now been abandoned completely?

Could have been makeup! since when has wire been age-restricted?

I'm 32 (and look it) and recently got ID'ed trying to buy silly string. I asked why and the young girl said that I could huff the gas. I was a bit confused because surely if I tried that, it would involve squirting said silly string in my mouth?

some kids are so desperate to get their hands on a coil of wire they resort to film grade makeup for the delivery. There is no common sense left in this world, it's like the Lego movie. Do not deviate from the instructions, even if they don't add up. Be flattered he didn't take your word for it, lol.

I can prove my age

My six year granddaughter asked me today .
Why don't you use an iPad is it because you are old

My brother got knocked back for buying petrol when he was 31. He does look quite young, but not under 16. Especially when in a full suit, and driving his pharmacy company's van...

My wife often used to get asked 'what are you planning on doing when you leave school dear?' by little old ladies when she was at work. Having worked in the department store for 10 years.


Went to a church for a while - wife often holding my hand or resting her head on my shoulder.
A few years later I bumped into the elder in charge there and he asked me how my daughter was doing.
The congregation mostly thought she was my daughter - she is older than me.

I was refused an energy drink last week because I had no ID with me. I'll be 28 in 3 weeks.

I got called a young man yesterday. I’m 60. But she was older than me so the comment may have been justified. And I an incredibly good looking (in poor lighting and from a distance).

When I was only recently married, a lad trying to sell boilers door to door though my wife was my daughter. I would have been about 27 and she would have been 22 at the time, so she is a bit younger obviously but he proper ruined his chances at a sale!

In the dim and distant past I asked for a bus ticket. The driver kindly said - is that a half? I was 28, half fares were for those under 14!
