Do you like it when people ask your age?  |
|
How old are you? 28. Father with 2 sons: Oh gosh, you are in the prime of your life. So young, just like a baby.
I hate it when people comment on my age this way. 28 is certainly not young in my opinion. I feel as old as a wrinkled potato and I hate people reminding me of it.
How old are you? 28. 18 yr old teenager: Geez, I am so sorry! Uncle, I didn't mean to probe... I just thought you might want to do soccer one of these days but... guess you are too old for it.
Oh thank you kiddie. I have been 18 yr old before so I don't need you to remind me of the stage you are currently at.
Either way my age is perceived (I have yet to come across a response that says it is the perfect age for whatever), I would rather the question be not asked in the first place. It also irks me when people like to ask me my age (whether deliberately or otherwise) during my birthday meals. Then they will start to try calculate it out l-o-u-d when I try to shrug it off. Somehow, some people just don't get it.
So, do you like it when people ask you your age? A resounding YES!? A sombre no? Do you desperately try to raise the question yourself? Do you pretend your ears are stuck? What is your thought on people asking you your age?

222. gegegelay (711) | 6 months ago | I guess I don't really mind for now, haha. Maybe when I reach the age of 30 and my agedness is starting to show, then probably I would be a bit more easy on mentioning my age:D But whenever people ask me, I don't really mind saying my real age but I would always back it up with a statement like: "Yeah yeah, I'm really getting older." So they won't have anything to say about it anymore;)

224. Kowgirl (2457) | 6 months ago | I have no qualms with telling people my age. I seldom get asked what my age is but when asked I will answer with a smile because I am happy to have been allowed by God to have had the pleasure of living almost 70 years with a sound mind and with the ability to use it. It's funny how the young can hardly wait to reach 21 then begin to think of themselves as old when they reach 25. My Mom who is 94 years (young) still thinks of me as being young but I guess we all think anyone who is 20 or more years younger than us is still in their prime. No matter what your age just enjoy life to the fullest and be happy to grow old. I have often wondered why some people even ask such a question, does it really matter how old or young a person is?

226. jeg2315 (199) | 6 months ago | I think it is funny when people think I'm younger. I'm 20 but I still look like I'm in high school. I guess that's a good thing if it stays true down the line, where I look younger than my age. It is funny though since people always told me I looked older than my age when I was a kid, and now I look younger than my age already.

227. slickcut (6010) | 5 months ago | No i do not like that question either..I think it is one of the rudest questions a person can ask..I have a friend that is really bad about asking peoples age & when i am with her and she ask others this question, it makes me cringe...I am NOT ashamed of my age either, I just think it is a rude question.....Sometimes i say something off the wall that no one believes..If a person tells you their age without asking then thats fine but i have NEVER been guilty of asking someones age...Also another question i hate is "how much do you weigh?" or what size do you wear?" another leading question ....I am NOT fat but i feel some questions should be your own business...People should not ask you what your salary is either..Some people are just down right rude & nosey....

228. DavidReedy (1677) | 5 months ago | You know, I've never really thought about it before, but in your typical witty manner, you've got me thinking about it, and grinning. Okay, so I'm something of a late bloomer--at age 30 I walked into the DMV to take my (first) driving test, and lo and behold, before she can catch herself the DMW clerk asks, "how old are you?" and then immediately stammers, "I mean..." and she changed the subject to something else. Just too funny.
