To let this conversation with pissed bloke in lift ruin my day?

[starrychime]

Coming in from nice day out with DD:
Guy gets in lift, obviously pissed, beer fumes everywhere.
Him: You've been here years haven't you?
Me: Yep
Him: Yeh, I've been here 23 years, you must be about the same age as my mum - fifties?
Me: No way! (am mid 40s)
Him: Really , ummm, (mumbles), just ignore me, I'm pissed.

Grr, is it just his vision being blurred by the booze or is a hair cut and grey-covering colouring session called for?

Maybe he had his beer goggles on backwards?

Well he said it - "just ignore me"

He's probably not the happiest of people, forget it.

Sounds like he wasn't thinking really. Hard to say without seeing a picture but I'm sure you don't look in your fifties! Lots of men are rubbish at guessing ages, especially of older women.

So how many years have you been living in a lift?

The difference between mid 40s and 50s is only 5 years (though I realise that pschologically it's much more that that).

Maybe his contact lenses had fallen into his beer.

Hehe mumblechum! He wasn't being intentionally cheeky I don't think pineapple, just making conversation in that 'pissed, I'll talk to anyone way'. It was just the expression of real surprise when I said I wasn't as old as his mum Then when he got out I had to put up with DD going, mum he thought you were 50 hehehe, 'Yes DD but he was drunk', But he thought you were 50 mum!
