This is awful!

I went with my father to a doctors visit he had.
The nurse or physicians assistant thought that I was my fathers brother!

My father is 89 years old!

I knew that I look old but this tops the cake!

My father told her how old he was before hand.

This is just awful!

Maybe they were quite young. Anyone over 30 looks old to young eyes.

I think she was trying to compliment your father. So she may have been complimenting you that you looked young as well. She failed though, didn’t she?

I went to go visit my neighbor in the hospital.

He asked how old I was,

I said “38”.

He said “Wow! I was going to guess 50! At least 45.”

I was floored.

Some people are just say everything that pops in their heads.

I’m sure you look fine.

Yeah she was young @everhopeful

You may have a point there @anon55031185 but the sad truth is that I do look a lot older than 58.

You know, she meant that your father looked as young as you. It’s a compliment people will make towards older people. I don’t think she meant to insult you.

Ugh! I was in a car accident 5 years ago where I passed out at the wheel and hit a tree…when I read the police report for my insurance it said I “appeared older than actual age”! I was so insulted! (BTW, I’m turning 49 in 2 weeks).

When I used to go on holidays with my mom and sister. Sales people would always ask my mom if they were sisters. Sometimes it’s a cheap sales trick to make a sale and your dad seems to be the client.

Don’t worry about what thoughtless people say. They’re stupid.
