Reply to comment by InfiniteCalendar1 in TIFU by eating a Happy Meal by PatientWillow4

I don’t get offended by it unless I know what they really mean is “immature” or “stupid” etc.. I’m kinda short + apparently some of the things I wear make me look “immature” or “childish” (possibly because I sometimes shop in the kids’ section of the store...). I was accused of being 12 once too! My bf + I were ordering drinks at the bar + when I ordered the bartender said “aren’t you, like, 12?”. I was at least 22... I’ve also been mistaken for my bf’s daughter on a couple occasions. Idc how old anyone thinks I am unless I’m trying to purchase alcohol + am denied because I don’t have my id on me for whatever reason.

I don’t get offended either although I had some questions about being perceived as 12 as I usually get mistaken as being between 16-19, but I guess my friend just saw it as an insult. When I was in retail my age got questioned the most because I was working with teens and they were surprised to learn I’m in college.

I was 28 working retail on a morning shift when a customer asked why I wasn't in school. I told him I graduated. Then he asked why I didn't go to college. I told him I graduated that as well.

He just said "oh", and walked away.
