How old do you have to be before you have to tell everyone how old you are?

[arch684]

A pupil of mine accused me of being the most immature 57 year old that he knows and demanded that I grew up.

Grow up? what for

As folk get older, they just have to tell you how old they are, usually in the first sentence uttered. "I'm 64 you know"

I'm getting worried as I might have to start doing this within a year or so...

I'm 62 you know!!

I found I was first felt compelled to do it when I suspected that I was twenty years older than she was, and that she hadn't realised.

For really old people, it's because they are so surprised (still) that they're that frickin old.

I spent the first couple of months after my birthday telling everyone I was 38. Then I did some counting on my fingers and realised I'm only 37. Is that a sign of growing old?

Big five 0 for me this year, im glad I made 30 if im honest..

lady's never tell their age until they're 80..

 

[Pat "5mph"]

Every time a 20 something at work moans because the workload is heavy, the shift long, we got no break, they are tired, I promptly say: "zip it, I'm 52 you know?!"

4 year old. My 4year old nephew liked telling everyone, 'I'm 4 you know'. He's just turned 5 so I guess we'll be hearing a lot 'I'm 5 you know'

I don't use the you know phrase myself, I just say 'I'm nearly 40'.

 

[mcshroom]

I'm at the age where I have to work it out from my DoB to check each time (31)

 

[Cush]

I am the age I should be but as I get a works and national pension I must be older than I act.

 

[SteCenturion]

"I'm 3 & a half, nearly 4" my little girl keeps reminding everyone.

I managed to get my age wrong for an entire year (when I was 34. Or was it 35? Oh, I dunno!) until my l'il sister pointed out that I'd somehow added one. This was the year that I had my younger son, and I corrected my midwife when she checked my age at my booking appointment - which meant I was considered a higher risk pregnancy than I would otherwise have been because it popped me up into the next age 'band'. Oops.
