Today, I was going into an office building. There was a boy and a man ahead of me, and the boy held the door open for me. Surprised, I said "What a nice young man," and he said. "It's ok, ma'am; my dad says to always hold the doors open for old ladies." I'm 43. FML

Well you're probably old to him, since he's just a boy.

It's a kid, if you're grown up, you're old. End of story. One would hope that at 43 you'd have gotten over what kids think of you.. or realized that you are "old" to a lot more people than you'd care to realize.

He's a kid. When I was little, I thought old was anyone over 16. He didn't say "for crippled old wrinkly witch-like grandmas."

yeah... 43 is granny age. accept the fact that you are not that fresh anymore...

Saying "fail" makes you a retard. And who the hell is this "society" person? No one's holding a gun to women's heads making them insecure about shit -- they do it to themselves. I'm ugly, but I'm not insecure about it. I learned long ago that there's things in life that you can't change, like aging. Best to accept it and go on living.

to a ten year old 43 is old, this was no big deal AT ALL and I'm shocked it got put up

I'm 13 and my mum is 43. I also have a 3yr old bro.. oh and my other 7yr old bro belived her wen she said she was 21 (she was obviously jking) ahahahhah

YDI because you said nice YOUNG man, sounds like your old

To a little boy, a 20 year old would seem old.

No, 43 is over hill old. I mean there is no mistaking someone so ancient for just being grown up. 43 is bingo and prune juice old.

YDI for saying "What a nice young man" instead of "thanks kid." If you talk like an old lady, don't be surprised if a kid thinks you're an old lady.
