Opus 2016-267: Ode to Old: Age before Baby

You know you are getting old when three women, one obviously pregnant, step back and expect you to get on the elevator before them. 

I didn’t think they were waiting for it.  No one had pressed the button.  It arrived soon after I did.  I hesitated a moment and they just looked at me, so I got on.  They followed me.  At the other end I allowed them to leave first.  Chivalry at work.

But I guess it means I am getting old.  Usually I don’t feel that way but you can’t argue with experience.

  1. Women? How do you know that they identify as women? They could be apache helicopters for all we know. Bigot.

    1. I humbly bow to your insight. I guess we can have tattoos on our foreheads. I might suggest M for male identity, F for female and 666 for the confused.

      Grace and peace.

  2. Been there, done that. It's really surprising the first time it happens. Be glad that there are still a FEW folks out there with manners.

    1. I will be okay as long as I keep my sense of humor. I have seen people get huffy when offered the senior discount.

      Grace and peace.
