There was a guy in line in front of me the other day that looked to me like he was almost a decade older than I am. Turns out he's around my age. Then another guy called me "young man". I started to tell him my age, but before I could, he said "I call everyone young if they are not seventy-five like I am".

It was much easier back when 30-35 was the beginning of middle age and 45-50 was the beginning of old age.
