That last happened to me when I was in my thirties, 51 is impressive. In my case it was a charity collector who scuttled away looking embarrassed when I said "I'm an adult, I own this house!" To be fair to her I was wearing dungarees...

22 year old man in club at the weekend asked me where I studied. I said Oxford Uni 1992. 😂

Brilliant! 😆

I had it at 30
"Are your parents in?"
Tries to look gormless "No"
"Do you know when they'll be in?"
Tries to look really gormless "no"

I wasn't lying. He just didn't need to know I'd bought the house the previous month and I didn't want cavity wall insulation/ double glazing/ solar panels anyway.

It was a year after I had the cheap busfare... that was a child's ticket 😆

You were supposed to be 'ever so flattered' and give a little giggle, whilst grabbing your purse to buy from the cheeky rascal.
