I turned 60 back in the summer and I take every advantage of senior discounts that I can.
The minimum age to qualify as an "old fart" varies in my area from 55 to 65 so I always ask.
For the longest time I had a full beard which eventually turned completely white. I didn't mind being a senior, but, I sure got tired of the Santa Claus jokes!:laughing:

I've had a full beard for 30 of my 59 years...but few people have made jokes about it as it turned grey....HO HO HO, MERRRRRYYY CHRISMAS...:laughing:

A very interesting encounter. Well, to me it does not matter because either way, it won't change my age, hahahha. You must have left the youngster smiling...

My father just turned 55 and he has been getting the senior discount for some time, he has been quite grey for years, he just smiles and accepts it.

Never even dare to imagine turning down a discount; what have you to loose anyway. Smile and walk away, huh? My dad is the opposite; 61 but still looking really young.:biggrin:

I have the opposite problem---I qualify for the discounts, but I don't look my age, so they always ask for my ID. Then they apologize. I just love it!
