Some person at Dunkin Donuts just gave me a Senior Citizen's discount......

That does it, I am sorely vexed...

[Responsibility2nd]

Sorely vexed??

Sounds like something my old grand dad used to say.

Face it. You are old.

(lol)

[Venturer]

No big deal, I don’t even have to ask anymore, I get it automatically.

[thulldud]

You just graduated from middle age.

[Man50D]

Don’t feel bad. AARP offered me to join when I was 23.

[fish hawk]

It will make you feel better if you go to a good movie. Don't forget to ask for the Senior discount.

[J Edgar]

If that is the worst thing that ever happens to you - you are one lucky person!

[albie]

Celebrate. Puree some corn and have a nice meal!

[JennysCool]

Better get one of these ...

Getting older certainly is preferable to the alternative.

[Doogle]

wait till they start asking you if you need help

[Old Grumpy]

The others are right - don’t feel bad. I’ve been getting them without even asking, for years. After a while, it won’t bother you so much. On another note, it’s great to know Dunkin gives the discount; I like their donuts, even though they never offered me a discount.

[Howie66]

Yes, Sir!

Getting old sure sucks!

But.....

It really beats the HELL out of the alternative.

Hang in there, Ol’ Thang.

[ConservativeMind]

So now you are being mistaken for Dr. Quest?

[bamagirl1944]

Don’t despair! Embrace it! Just think, you can do so much more and get away with it by just saying “I’m getting old.” That explains away a multitude of things.

"YOU KIDS GET OFFA MY LAWN -- !!!"

There. Better...? ;)

[MuttTheHoople]

getting old beats not getting old.

[Skooz]

I turned 50 -— FREAKING 50 -— in January and the AARP has not let me forget about it.

I empathize, my man.

[caseinpoint]

That’s tough. I’ve had the same thing happen and I am getting closer to that category but I ain’t there yet!

True story. Our third baby was involved in a hostage situation a few days after birth. When the situation was finally resolved, we had to go to a hospital before they would let us see him. When we got there, the emergency room receptionist responded when we asked to see our son, “Oh, are you the grandparents?” Granted, after childbirth and a horrendous hours-long crisis, we were trashed but I don’t think we quite looked like grandparents.

I thought your hugh beeber got stunned on your trip to Thighland.

Seriesly.

This happened to me several years ago. I was only 49!

My son, who was about 17 at the time, and I went into Taco Bell. I told him to order and I was going to the restroom. When I came out and walked up to the counter, the boy behind the counter said “oh, if I would have known you were with her, I could have given you the senior citizen discount.” My son looked at me and back at the kid like “oh crap, mom is going over the counter!” LOL

Ruined my day.
