Vent Sniff,Sniff was called an Old Lady

[papbouv]

Listened to the next door neighbor's music bass all day so hubby had went to bed he is closer to the music than I 'm sitting at my computer in my bedroom I hear boom,boom,boom,boom. I go over knock on the door its 11:36 pm at night. The Bird dog ( really a Pit bull mix barks) I hear a man's voice say to the woman that lives there "Its a OLd Lady with black glasses on" So He comes to the door I ask him very nicely can you turn down your bass on your music I can hear it it in my bedroom. He says OK sorry. I get a gold star I was nice did not say a word about being called an OLd Lady just because i will turn 61 on Thursday he does not have to say I'm an old lady.Guess I can call him a Young Whipper Snapper then.Went in person did not call the police so guess next time I should do that.Papbouv

They sure don't respect other peoples peace and quiet if he was talking loud enough for you to hear him through the door, on top of his music booming like that. 61 is NOT an old lady, not by a long shot. Kudos to you for being polite in spite of it all.

Well, its better than a twenty something male calling you ma'am when you were only 10 years older than them.

I will admit I am older than you since i will be 63 in July.  But recently I had started going back to a store I had not been in much lately. Yes, I do use one of the electric carts, since my mobility is not very good!!

It has startled me a little that one fast food  restaurant when I get to the drivethru window, a couple of the workers just automatically give me senior citizens discount. My hair has a lot of grey in it, now to the point the front is somewhat salt and pepper but the hair I pull into a bun or something in back does have some pretty good streaks of dark brown.  But in about the last month the grocery store most of the checkers seem to automatically take a discount off. They dont say anything just ring it up. The first time I almost asked, well how old do I need to be, but then figured if they think I am old enough for the discount why not!!

In a way its a funny twist on both ends. I remember getting really upset when I was 25 or so. The state had recently changed the laws, so their was not a difference between beer bars(18) and regular bars(need to be 25).  Then they changed the law and everything was 18!!  So this one bar I had been going into for several years suddenly insists on carding me!! What ticked me off is my ex boyfriend and his new girlfriend were down the bar, and watched the owner insist on carding me!! The girlfriend was laughing at me and I was NOT pleased!!
