Hey i try to get all the senior citizen discounts i can
Sure I have. At this stage of the game it is by the teens who think that because I am a few decades older than them I don't understand what it is like to be a teenager. (I survived that stage of my life so I do know what it is like.)
I am discriminated due to age, but it is not negative or discrimination against me, Rather it is positive discrimination. When I reached 65 years, I could start asking.. " Do you have senior rates?" or "My wife and I are seniors, could you bump us up from coach to business or first class?" Its great!!! saves us money.
Yes! Happens sometimes! But they change their mind after a little while!
Yes! When I'm with people older than my age. But after sometime they come to know me!
No. Even if you manage to live to 182 you're still going to be judged
Fifteen years ago, after a series of interviews and all the right noises from the company, I failed to get a job with Fuji, when I was (and we both knew I was) the best-qualified man in the whole of the UK.
Not difficult, it was in a very specialised field and I knew everyone else in it.
Oh well, perhaps they had found a gem somewhere whom I had not come across.
A few months later when doing an exhibition, jointly with Fuji, I met the chap, he was 15 years (at least) younger than me.
AND, he was lazy and stupid. Worse than that, he went into great detail on a number of occasions about the amount of pornography he had stored on his laptop. He would share this information with all and sundry, male and female, and expect us all to be impressed.
Fuji let him go after about 6 months, but they never re-advertised the position.
I can only think that the only reason he pipped me to the job in the first place was his age, he certainly had nothing else going for him.
Bitter? Me? :)
Yes. For kissing a girl two years older than me in the 3rd grade. Also for running away at the age of 6.
Yea. The whole ordeal was really embarresing.
Interesting word, "discrimination."
Typically a negative connotation, but as they say, when my wife married me she discriminated against all other men---and I hope she continues to do so.
Being 70, it still brings a smile to my face when some clerk asks to see my ID---ostensibly to prove my age. Lol
There is no time.
Yeah
I proved the teacher wrong and the stuff happened
I won in the end though
* Evil face*
yes, ....
