Love, Transportation and Harassment: Is this why they hate millennials? Because we won't date them?

Today, as I was fueling my truck, I was asked out to dinner by a 65-year-old retiree. I'm 25. He stormed off and called me a bitch for politely turning him down. FML

Today, as I served an elderly man at the fast-food restaurant where I work, he leaned over the counter so that his face was mere inches from mine and asked me if I wanted to buy his car. When I politely told him I wasn't interested, he insisted on making a complaint about me to my manager. FML

Today, a 65 year old toothless gas station attendant asked me out on a date in exchange for free gas, and I said yes. This is what my unemployment has come to. FML

Today, I was told off by a random woman who said that I should be ashamed of myself for dating such an older man. I was having dinner with my dad. FML

Today, my car ran out of gas. I was 20 feet away from the gas pump and the only person I could ask for help was the attendant, who'd asked me out a week ago. I'd said no, and so did he. FML

Today, while out for lunch, a guy approached me and asked for my number. I politely declined. To my dismay, he dropped to his knees, grabbed his head, and started moaning about how nobody ever gives him a chance. I felt the accusing stares. FML

This charming man

Today, I was in the store when a man started chatting me up. He was good looking and charming. He asked, “So, what are you, 22-23?” I saw him visibly recoil in disgust when I told him my real age. I’m only 35, he was about 50, but he acted like he couldn’t runaway fast enough. FML

Today, at my job in a gas station, a customer who had previously driven off without paying came in to shout abuse at me because I had said in the police statement, "He looks about 60." He is apparently 55. He didn't come in to pay, he came in to swear at me. FML

Today, while life-guarding in a 55+ community, I greeted a man by saying "Good morning Sir!" He responded with, "Cut the shit kid, I'm not that fucking old." FML

Today, I had dinner at a local fast-food joint. There's an employee there that I usually talk to and flirt with, so I thought maybe it was time to ask for her number. After a small conversation and almost getting to the point, she told me, "I'm 17." I'm 23. FML

Today, I met and asked a cute girl out on a date. We decided to meet at a fancy restaurant downtown. When I got there I saw her sitting with what turned out to be her parents. They made a huge scene, calling me a pedophile and a low-life. Apparently, the girl was 16 years-old. I'm 25. FML

Nor do you need to know the gender of the parties involved. It doesn’t change anything.

You turned down a free meal just because he's 65? I would have taken the offer, then left claiming I had to go to work. Free food is free food.

Going by his aggressive behavior just by the polite rejection, no telling what he would have done had she done anything like that. He would have expected her to sleep with him.

Well, just from the description, I do not know the gender of the parties involved. However, you might have missed a chance at a half-way decent time with someone. You never know.

She definitely wouldn't have a decent time with that guy. He thinks he's entitled to have her. I wouldn't be surprised if he were to try to rape her.

Not everyone is okay with a 40 year age difference, either. Like he will most likely be dead by the time she's in her 40s.

If it’s any consolation, he’d have cursed you if you were 64. Some guys handle rejection very badly by lashing out. Others get their confidence crushed and won’t even try again for months. ;(
