I'm 31, no children and don't drive, which some people absolutely cannot fathom.
I was in a group job interview last week, a woman my age asked me how I'd got there, so I said on public transport. She asked me if I drove and I said no.
She gawped at me, mouth wide open and said 'You.. don't... drive?!!" And just looked at me in horror.
Then she said, "Well , you should've learned when you turned 17."
Oh really, I didn't think of that one? I tried many times to pass but I never took to it, and I've recently started lessons again but can only afford an hour a week.
I've just been asked by a colleague if I had children, a colleague the same age. I said no, and then was asked if I wanted them. I told her I was on the fence about it and she said, "Are you serious?!" "Why don't you want children?!" "Do you have a partner?"
She scoffed when I told her my partner wasn't planning to have them at present either.
In both examples I did the typical female polite laughing it off thing, but I shouldn't have really. I feel like this is going to be a recurring theme in my life.
Does anyone else get this? I'll try not to let it get to me, I have a feeling this will go on until I'm over childbearing age.
It's like some people can't imagine anyone thinks differently to them.
