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

[jhawk]

I'm 20! Some days, I feel very very old indeed. Like, whenever I've gone and visited my old school, and all the little barstewards have gone, "Didn't leave?"

"Yes, I know and I'm still here in this small town. Shut up."

 

[Flick of the Elbow]

I'm 50 and already counting down the days to retirement, can't come soon enough !

 

[Oldbloke]

Coming up 63 and still not a real grown up, work now a fast fading memory like my hair.

It's the oldies that tell you their age followed by all their ailments that get me...GO AWAY!!

I'm 48 this year, but only on the outside.

I'm 48 this year but only round my waist.

When I get older, losing my hair,
Many years from now.....

... it is sooner than you think!

 

[ufkacbln]

My beard is older than half of my staff

 

[raleighnut]

I never thought I'd see Thirty, never imagined I'd get to Forty and now that Fifty is a dim and dusty memory I'm still shocked, how the heck did I get to be this old. And for all those just about to get there types that say Fifty is the new Forty...................It Ain't, believe you me.

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!!

@PeteXXX you dont look a day older than 63 so dont worry about it

Here in the Far East it's one of the first questions you're asked when you meet someone at work or in a bar etc. I always say 22 but not many believe me because I've been saying that for a quite a few years now.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'll be 40 this year....

 

[Joshua Plumtree]

During one of those ubiquitous sprints to be first to the cafe stop, I was running side by side with a guy who I could see was struggling to keep up.
He looked across at me and said, " You should be out sprinting me, I am 61 you know! " To which I replied, " We'll I'm not that much younger, I'm 54!"

A twist is the oldie who tells you their age, adding one for their birthday that will come up later this year.
Somehow they want credit for having lived to that age, which puzzles me. If you give credit for inheriting good genes and not catching a serious disease or infection in their childhood and not getting run over crossing the road then fair enough but with the exception of the last one there's not much we can do about the other factors and I've had one or two near misses on the road where I had done nothing wrong and a numpty nearly took my life.

Byegad, aged 63 3/4.

I really can't understand this obsession for telling people how old you are.
What difference does it make?
I can still run rings around some guys 30 years my junior, but I would never dream of rubbing it in by telling them my age.




I just tell them that I'm a pensioner.

 

[KneesUp]

My daughter tells everyone her age. She's "nearly 6".

 

[Turdus philomelos]

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

Those ½s and ¾s use to be oh so important in the rush to grow up.
