My wife (jools) has started doing that thing in shops where she decides to explain to me after the assistant has just explained the product to me.
In what I am now going to call "agesplaining"
Assuming that I have no idea what is going on.
She's less than a year younger than me!!!
Ok I like to take my time and consider a purchase doesn't mean I'm a doddery old fucker who's clueless.
I'll admit that it's frustrating with the eye's and needing my glasses but that is something hundreds of millions of people suffer from.

I always lie about my age. Tell anyone your age they first look for the greys, I haven't any.
So I always go under 20 years, because I can and people find that more believable.
The conundrum is that I'm retiring so that's got their heads in a spin. |

Wherever I lay my hat |
I am honest about my age and totally fine with it but I go abroad a fair bit on my own and what really grinds my gears is that now I walk into a bar or restaurant and I become totally invisible as an older woman on my own. I clearly cannot possibly be there alone..... I must be waiting for my husband to join me to order for me. Uuurrrgh. |

"I just heard that old people don't have microwaves.
Is that true?"
My Grandad did, but only after Grandma died, so after the age of 79. That's because he couldn't cook but he could put a thing in a microwave and press buttons. |

That really is blatant ignorance on their part. |

My dad's got a slow cooker and a microwave and he's 95. He also gets very irate if he can't use Facebook messenger for any reason |

My Dad (coming up for 84) only communicates via email and gets very cross when he can't make his smart phone do what he wants. He also has dementia. |
