To consider myself in my 30’s

[Jumponit77]

I’m born late July 1994 so I said I’m in my 30’s now and was corrected. It’s like people don’t know about rounding up.

Christ, you’re a long time in your 30’s I’d be milking every last second out of my 20’s while I still could.

You are still in your twenties, but you can identify as 30 on the basis that you feel 30.

Make the most of it! I turned 40 this year and I absolutely hate saying it out loud! I’d love to say i’m still in my 30s!

Why would you round up??

My Dd was born 4 days before my 30th birthday and I say I had her in my 20s 😂 (only in fun obviously)

Why do you think that? I understand maths and rounding up, but not age, so why ?

Don't rush, your 30s will come and it will pass too.

You won't be rounding up when you get to your late 50s!

Are you one of these people who thinks the 21st century began on 1st January 2001? 😬 (Usually the covid deniers and flat earthers!)

Or just people who understand how numbers work - standard maths isn't a conspiracy, you know...

My Dd was born 4 days before my 30th birthday and I say I had her in my 20s 😂 (only in fun obviously)

But that's just the plain truth. Her birth was obviously near the changeover, but it was indeed before the changeover and not after it.

You might as well say that somebody who lives in Carlisle, 10 yards south of the Scottish border, claims that they live in England, but only 'in fun'!

I was born in 1954 and I'm buggered if I'm going to say I'm in my 70's! 🤨
OP, you're still in your 20's - you're 29. Rounding up is pointless.

I do this - have done ever since my mid-twenties It might be something to do with getting used to the idea, so it's not a shock when my age suddenly increases? I dunno. It's not important enough to analyse.

Been doing it a long time - I'm knocking 70 now (ish)!

This has got to be a wind up? You're 29 you loon. You're in your 20s.

Me too- same reasons. But actually aging does not bother me (I married a much much older man - you always feel young when you do that).

YABVU - you don't round up ages!!!!

But 2 if you round it up 😁

I think I'll identify as in my 30s too, as I have for the last 40+ years!

I do this - have done ever since my mid-twenties It might be something to do with getting used to the idea, so it's not a shock when my age suddenly increases?

But how is it any less of a 'shock' in turning 30 just by pretending to do it a year or two early?!

We age on a day-by-day basis, it isn't a binary. There isn't a huge physical transformation that occurs between the last day of one decade of your life and the first day of your next decade.

I'm 34 but I'm definitely actually in my 20s.

Well, yes, @FatherJackHackettsUnderpantsHamper, I know that. I've passed six decades (for real) and seven (claimed) so I may have noticed there's no sudden alteration! I never said it was logical 😂

Some people about their height, weight, qualifications, abortions or miscarriages, where they went on holiday and how many people they've had sex with. A lot of people lie about being younger. We're all forced to lie about our dress sizes - no way am I a 12, but high street brands insist I am!

Keep searching for the logic in them all, if you want ...

Or the one where the mum insisted that every 4 weeks equalled 1 month and wanted to celebrate the baby’s 1st birthday at 48 weeks old?

That reminds me of a fascinating thread from several years back, about people who insist that a month = four weeks, and the consequences of that faulty logic. Even people who were prescribed 56 tablets, to be taken daily, but weren't allowed a repeat prescription until two calendar months had passed.

I've never seen anyone who WANTS to round their age up, apart from when trying to get served in a bar. It makes no sense. You're 29, and absolutely not in your 30s.
