RE: The Touching

in #life2 years ago

Thanks for the morning laugh! Human behavior will never cease to surprise. : ) It's so weird having these glimpses of what it'll be like to be a senior citizen in middle age. I'm noticing since my hair and beard have started to go grey that more young people are calling me Sir in public...unless my tattoos are showing and then they almost always refer to me as Man instead of Sir.

Sort:  

I have heard the odd sir, it makes me double take and think wtf!? Who me?

It's a strange thing as demographics are meant to be changing and generations are getting more with it as they get older and yet stereotypes remain. I still feel like a bonkers 30 treat old!!

Same with me! Every single time. Just get some tattoos and roll up your sleeves and they'll call you man instead of sir.

Maybe it's all the caffeine I consume but I actually feel better at 51 than I did in my 20's but the mirror reminds me. Lol.

I have one biggish tattoo on my upper arm but given the Scottish weather it is most often hidden away. I have actually recently started thinking of getting another, I do quite like them!

Could be the caffeine, I am the same right down to the mirror. I am like, how the funk did that happen!?

They're addictive! I didn't get my first until I was 45 in 2016 but ended up getting a full sleeve on one arm and a half sleeve on the other. It's high time that I get some fresh ink but I want to wait until I can go overseas and get one over there.

Aging is weird isn't it? It seems like you spend half your life looking like you're 30-ish and then all of a sudden BAM, people are calling us Sir....WTF!

They are addictive. I got mine when I was 35 I think, I had to fight the temptation to get another right away but the thought has always been lurking in my mind! A full sleeve and half sleeve, that's awesome!

Yeah, fuck aging. Thats what I say!
