Not Old Enough
I had an odd conversation at the bookstore today, as I was checking out. The cashier pointed to my left hand and said, "For a moment I thought you were wearing a wedding ring."
"I am wearing a wedding ring," I said.
"You're not old enough to be married."
"I'm probably older than you think."
"You're probably about 25. I'm a good judge of ages. I can always guess somebody's age."
"You didn't guess mine."
At this point I had to show her my ID anyway, so I pointed out my birthdate. She then accused me of having a fake ID, which is sort of an odd thing to say, because clearly I was not attempting to hide my age or anything like that, but I guess she was embarrassed by being so incredibly wrong about how old I must be.
I wonder if she will say that she can always guess somebody's age to anybody else. My guess is that she will, because irritating people never realize how irritating they are.
