I'm cool for an old person

DH friend runs a music venue. DH has been there many times in a professional capacity to do paid tech set up/sound etc. he's known to the staff and has a laugh with them.

I went along with DH tonight to say hi to the pal and happy new year on our way out for dinner.

One of the teen bar staff guys saw me with DH, I've not met him but DH knows him pretty well.

Bar lad says to DH that his wife (me) is "cool and pretty hot for an old person".

I'm 41 😭😂 feeling about 80. I'm old enough to be the little sods mum.

Grin There may possibly be a time decades hence when he remembers saying things like this and winces. Meanwhile, I'd bask in the first part of the compliment!

Puppylucky · 31/12/2024 18:02

Without being too rude he's at the age where he'd shag a hole in the ground so I wouldn't take the pretty hot bit too seriously! Nice to be seen as cool though 👍

Alltheburpees · 31/12/2024 18:08

I’m quite interested in how you can be both cool and hot at the same time. 🤣❄️🔥

ShortyShorts · 31/12/2024 18:10

Using the phrase 'hot' makes him sound about 80 himself! 🤣🤣

Dontlletmedownbruce · 31/12/2024 18:14

Cool and hot?! I hope he isn't studying thermal engineering.

I'm actually jealous OP. That's the highest level compliment possible

Singasongofsixpence24 · 31/12/2024 18:15

Oh I thought you were going to say you are retired....thankfully my teen usually refers to old as 'older than you'. I think she's learned to be tactful. 🙈

BeeLight · 31/12/2024 18:15

‘No offence, sweetie, I’ve got coats older than you. Happy New Year!’

Melodyfair · 31/12/2024 18:17

Well if you think back 40 is bloody ancient for youngsters, but like all of us they will one day be furrowing their brow in a vain attempt to work out who that bloody middle aged person is in the mirror and why they have no idea what the younger generation see in all their new singers or styles 😂. To quote Abraham Simpson…..

I used to be with ‘it’, but then they changed what ‘it’ was. Now what I’m with isn’t ‘it’ anymore and what’s ‘it’ seems weird and scary. It’ll happen to you!

Definitely take the compliment though 🙂

Try being naturally cold blooded with hot flushes!!!

TheYearOfSmallThings · 31/12/2024 18:45

I'd take the compliment and choose to believe he tagged on the last bit when he saw your husband's face at "Your wife is pretty hot" Grin

TheSilentSister · 31/12/2024 19:17

Take the compliment. My DS's mates say I'm cool, which I think is nice really. I'll take anything that sounds positive, lol.

I was on a tv show with a Twitter following. Was described by some wag as Top Class Stuff Back In The Day

When I went for my Covid jab the young nurse came to get me from the queue and said, “Oh, I must have the wrong details, I was expecting someone older, in their 50s”. I’m 62

ButteryBiscuitBalonz · 31/12/2024 19:24

DH should have dispensed a backhand for that. The youth of today tsk tsk

MidnightPatrol · 31/12/2024 19:25

OP I am 35 and a (much) junior colleague told me ‘you were probably quite good looking when you were younger’ at the Christmas party.

I’m having a sense of humour about it.

Pedallleur · 31/12/2024 19:27

Maybe he thinks you are like Stacy's mom and you've got it going on. Bask in this. At least he didn't say you are a MILF!

JackieGoodman · 31/12/2024 19:28

Grin take the compliment, anyone over 30 is "old" to young people.

KilkennyCats · 31/12/2024 19:34

Do teenagers really tell other older blokes that their wives are hot?

Yep. One told my then partner that I had fantastic tits and a great arse. Partner thought it a compliment and funny. I am no longer with said partner.

I kept the boobs and arse though 😎

LouisvilleSlugger · 31/12/2024 20:43

That teen sounds likes he’s from the 1950s. No teen I know speaks like that. 😂

Gowlett · 31/12/2024 20:47

I work in events, with a young crew.
They think I’m seriously uncool…
