Tried to buy something earlier and got ID’d. I’m 43.

I’m quite chuffed.

Anything nice happen to you today?

I saw my favourite pub barmaid this morning, which was especially nice. But she was giving me evils all the time I was in there, which was not nice. What have I done ?

BernardsarenotalwaysSaints · 22/12/2018 17:54

I've not been asked for ID since I was 22.

I got new sofas Xmas Grin & I love them.

I got called a 'beautiful young lady' by a customer (I'm 46) He was old but had a twinkle in his myopic eyes and it made me smile Xmas Grin

Maybe they were checking your eligibility for the senior discount Grin

I bought a big woolly jumper and when I can to pay there was 30% off. So it only cost me £12 Grin

Didn’t know the Co-op did senior discount on scratch cards TooGood.

I said “I’m 43!” and she said “Well you’re stood there looking like a teenager to me”.

Tried to get DH to buy it for me and she wasn’t having it. Told me to come back later with my driving licence.

I got ID’d for a scratch card. I was so chuffed I accidentally knocked 4 pints of milk on the floor and it made a complete mess Grin

KittenEsque · 22/12/2018 19:16

Yay! Bishalisha

DH wasn’t too happy about it “Who does she think I am then? Your dad or a paedophile?”

Recently I was asked if I'm over 21, I'm 52, I was so happy.

I bought a 7ft Christmas tree for £5!
Met up with an old friend I fell out with 4 years ago and made up.
Spent the rest of the day with some of my DC chilling out eating rubbish.

At Dh's work do last night, by some amazing coincidence of the gods, I ended up sat next to the wife of his colleague who happens to sit next to next to my brother at their work.
She asked me if he was my OLDER. Brother - and he's 9 years younger than me. Made my night.

What's more concerning is that she thinks my Dh could be married to a 26 year old, and she knows full well that I have a 15 year old Dd.....

I just got a Battenberg in Sainsbury's for 10p if that counts

Santaisonthesherry · 22/12/2018 20:16

I work in a guest house where contractors stay, I had a bottle of wine left for me and £20!! Well chuffed!

Grace212 · 22/12/2018 20:20

OP, your DH comment is hilarious.

I'm 43 and got ID'd fairly recently. When I realised the guy was serious, I thought it was great - until he looked carefully at my driving licence, several times back at me, then said "43? wow. you are very well preserved". At which point I felt like a fossil....

Enigmam · 22/12/2018 20:55

Well preserved 😂

eefa658 · 22/12/2018 21:09

Well preserved Grin that's made me laugh.

My DB gave me a Christmas card today and he wrote in it how much he appreciates me and how proud he is of me! This is very unlike him and I absolutely idolised him as a child/teenager and I just felt absolutely chuffed!!!
