I sometimes think I am a cool young punk rebel rockstar, not realising I look like a 50 year old in business attire and shiny shoes. I assume my people will sense me, but instead a younger cooler person just offered me their seat on the bus. I AM NOT IN DANGER OF A FALL. Bloody whippersnappers and rapscallions. Why don't they get a job and stop hanging around on the streets.

@TheBreadmonkey This!
You're a bit behind me (im 55, apparently! Lies, I tell you!), but ive never been offered a seat on the bus.
Yet.
Wife and I were at the #Calgary #stampede rodeo show a month ago, and while both in or 50s, we have white/grey hair, and me with my white beard.
The line to get in before security was a slow moving mass.
One of workers asked us if we wanted to go to the front of the line. A bit confused, we said "sure" then I noticed he was pulling out other elders, presumably so they didn't have to stand in the sun as long.
Yay, I guess, for looking older than I am?
@TheBreadmonkey A job? In this economy? 🙃
I'm older than you and have bum knees but once gave up my seat on a train in Italy to a man whose age I couldn't determine. I did so because he looked like death warmed over.
@TheBreadmonkey
That 'younger cooler person' had great parents to teach them that!
@TheBreadmonkey Start lying in the alt text, it's your last shot.
@TheBreadmonkey It's ok Pawpaw I'll help you across the street
I've had people offer to carry my groceries to the car cuz "they look heavy" and I have to sit and rethink my decision to not dye my grey hair
@TheBreadmonkey Let's get you in bed for your nap, grandpa.
@TheBreadmonkey Ah, young people today. Always complaining about younger people.
