[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You handled it perfectly, OP. I think the reason you're still annoyed is that you're probably sensing a lot of misogyny and general contempt for women and perhaps anyone who isn't in his social group from this particular person. Try not to let it show.[/quote] No, it’s her own internalized struggle with being an older women. The kid probably just hangs out with people with a sense of humor and needs to learn how to code switch for old, humorless people at work. [/quote] OP here again. Yeah I admit it’s a sensitive topic for me as I need to stay employed and we live in an ageist culture. When my teenaged kid calls me old i laugh because I could care less. But seriously what’s so humorous about calling someone old? Would it have been funny if I called him fat (which he is). No-it would have been mean, unprofessional and offensive. [/quote]
