If you just started a new job and a colleague asks how old you are?

I don't mind. They usually ask when I mention my children and people expect them to be young, but they're late teens. Apparently I look like I could be ten years younger it's the fat that pushes out the wrinkles

LadyMacbethWasMisunderstood · 14/09/2024 00:03

Maybe. I’d be a bit put off if that’s what they asked first off.

BananaGrapeMelon · 14/09/2024 00:03

I wouldn't mind exactly, but I would be surprised. No one at work has ever asked my age and I've been there 10 years!

Neveranynamesleft · 14/09/2024 00:02

No. Why do you ask and why does it bother you ?

OnYourTogs · 14/09/2024 00:02

I would never ask someone because I know lots of people are sensitive about age, but I wouldn't mind being asked.

MrsSkylerWhite · 14/09/2024 00:01

Wouldn’t bother me in the least.

Mmhmmn · 14/09/2024 00:01

Nope, not at all.

Clammyclam · 14/09/2024 00:01

No not at all

MummaEllie · 14/09/2024 00:01

No

LoftyPeachSnake · 14/09/2024 00:00

No, I wouldn't care. Age is just a number.

Djmaggie · 14/09/2024 00:00

No, not at all. It’s just general conversation.
However, not something I would ask myself.

MarkingBad · 13/09/2024 23:59

No not at all

Positivenancy · 13/09/2024 23:59

It usually happens to me on within the first hour or so of talking to someone, general conversation around my dc and their ages and my life so far is always met with “oh my god how is that possible what age are you!? I’m nearly 40 and everyone things is at least 10 years younger 😂😂 I don’t mind at all

Scutterbug · 13/09/2024 23:58

No I wouldn’t mind at all.

clarinsjourney · 13/09/2024 23:58

No, never understood why people are funny about age.

K37529 · 13/09/2024 23:57

No

poppyzbrite4 · 13/09/2024 23:56
