[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was at Tysons a few years back with my dad who was visiting from out of town and he forgot to bring a belt, so we were getting one at Macys. I was 36 and he was 60 at the time. The salesperson when we were checking out, who was also older! Not a younger college age or early 20s woman! asked/implied that I was his wife and I wanted to THROW UP. Luckily my dad was staring at something on his phone and not paying attention and I was so flustered I just wanted to get out of there. I’m not sure if she thought I was much older or was just assuming he was an older man with a younger woman. [/quote]

That’s hilarious - my family would still be laughing about that. [/quote]

This happened to me with my dad when I was about 17 (he would have been 50) in Saks Fifth Avenue and I was HORRIFIED. I did look kind of old for my age, but like 21. So still gross. [/quote]

My first boss is 20 years older than me. He has continued to be my mentor and whenever we are in the same city we will go out to lunch or dinner together. There has NEVER been anything going on between us and we do not flirt with each other or anything like that, but so many times waiters have made comments about how we're a cute couple or hope we enjoyed our date or whatever. We're not sitting on the same side of the booth, sharing food, touching each other, or doing anything that would convey a romantic relationship to oursiders. It makes me think I'm in Pence-land or something and it's odd but we just laugh about it because it is funny - and then we tell our spouses about it and they laugh, too. Because we're all adults and no one is doing anything wrong, so who cares if people assume a man and a woman together are dating?[/quote]
