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

Today, I was trying to be polite by holding the door for an elderly lady in a shop. What I didn’t realise was that the doors were automatic. I ended up standing there awkwardly for a good 5 seconds, holding onto thin air, while she just smiled and walked by. A bloke behind me said, “The doors don’t need your help, mate.” FML
Today, while holding the door open for a stranger, I thought I was being polite. She walked through, smiled at me, and said, "Thanks, but you didn’t have to follow me into the bathroom." I hadn’t noticed the door led to the restroom. FML

Today, I was working at my job as a cashier, checking out an elderly woman's groceries. She was very nice, and we chatted for a couple minutes. Once she had paid, she leaned close to me and said, very politely, "I'm so so sorry that I mistook you for a girl at first, young man." I AM a girl. FML
Today, at my job as a cashier, a man and his 3-year old son got in line. The father said, "Give this to the pretty lady," looking at me. The kid looks at me, looks at his dad, and walks over to the next cashier. FML

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

Umm, you called him a "nice young man", and uh, I was always under the impression that only old ladies said that? Maybe I'm wrong, but that's what I think. 0_0

Quit complaining, he opened the damn door for you. And to a little kid, anything over 20 is old. But you, my friend, kind of are old. you're my MOMS age.

You are old. 30-39: transformation from young to old 40-49: old 50-59: even older than old 60-xx: grammy domain But it's always funny how people, especially women, always raise the "old" bar the older they get. You'll probably still call yourself young at 80 because you can't admit to being old.
