Buying a lottery ticket:
I walk into the 7-11 to buy a scratch-off. Mind you, I buy, at least, one ticket a week at the same store! Anywho, I go in, pick my ticket, get my debit card out and she says: "I have to ask, are you even 18?!" I casually laugh and seriously question her judgement with "What? I don't look like I am 24" - needless to say, she thought I was joking and I had to get out my ID, which she checked twice because apparently the year 1987 does not indicate 24 years old before October!Buying Cold Medicine:
Here I am, standing in line with a sore throat, runny nose, and about to pass out. I hand her the cold medicine, she swipes it, and says "ID please" - without hesitation I hand it to her, she swipes the ID along the register, looks at the ID and says "Really? You're 24? You look like you are barely 18". With the next sneeze approaching I give her a sarcastic smile, nod, and say "mmhmm".I could go on and on with these stories and do have to say, I am not flattered to appear younger than I actually am. Ask me again in 10 years and I am sure that will have changed, but for now, let me look 24, please! When I was 16, people thought I was between 19 and 21 and now that I am 24, people think I am between 16 and 19... I don't know how to look more "24-ish". I wear make-up, do my hair, don't wear hip-hugger jeans and my shirts show just enough cleavage to still look classy, not trashy. I dont have big dangly earrings, but rather wear small studs. I don't have any
Anyway, I just felt the need to vent! :)
Happy Saturday night everyone!
I totally get it when you say at 18 people thought you were older now they think you're younger! although..the other day...someone thought I was older than 24 and I was like listen a-hole that's not nice to say to women even at my age. i still got my wine though :)
