Do you mind being classed as a senior citizen? I've been called an old

[LBJ]

foggie, the old one, and elderly.? I wouldn't mind but I'm only 65, retired early, even though I do look slightly older. Have I got this title to look forward to?

[Beyond Mordant]

Nah, I glad to have lasted this long.

[Ginger H]

Really, you get called all that?

Nobody ever calls me anything addressing my age.

I think you might have to get used to it LBJ. The term "Senior Citizen " was introduced because someone who controls these things decided some years back, that it had a slightly more polite and "distinguished sound to it than "Old Age Pensioner."

At 65 middle age MUST be staring to catch you up a bit at least, so really what's wrong with the truth. You ARE getting old , just as I am, compared to the youngsters we are both old foggies too, I'm a disgraceful, disgruntled grumpy old foggie.

What I like about being considered old is the advantages that
it brings.

cheap rail trips
You can flirt outrageously with female shop assistants, I find quite a few flirt back. I have great fun in the supermarket. I even get a wave on the way in sometimes. Its a bundle of fun.
cheaper haircuts
cheaper phone
free ambulances
etc.

We ARE getting old, and the time left is getting less by the day, so I intend to grow old and have a bundle of fun as I do it. It'll be too late after the lid gets screwed down.

Death is no more than a long long sleep, so laugh in it's face and grow old in style, don't waste time and energy trying to fight it, embrace it. Enjoy every single moment mate.

No I don't mind being called senior citizen but I don't like being called old lady

[Mmmmm]

My husband never said it but I think he did nit like to accept the status. I have barely reached it, but look so young that it does not matter yet.
No one makes such comments.

Everything is relative. I feel old when I am around a much younger crowd, but I feel very differently when I go to visit my father-in-law at the nursing home. Some would consider those titles as badges of honor, earned and deserved!
No one has ever said those things to my face, which I would consider rude, but I am certain I am ancient to the kids I know. But they think 30 is old...LOL!

Welcome to the 'club' my friend. Am younger than you, but because of disabilities (Arthritis) use a walking stick. Before my hip operations, mobility was 'very poor' to the extent that I was assisted across a road crossing by a little old lady approximately 15 - 20 years my senior - just how embarrasing is that???

Honey, I am 53 and have been called that for about 4 yrs now. They tell me I look between 40-45(I think they are full of it)--but there it is.
I don't mind, somehow by the grace of God, I got this far. Lord knows, I hadn't planned on it--life kind of just zipped by.
I am way more relaxed, don't sweat the small stuff, enjoy my grandchildren and love not having to stay in one place because of my kids. I earned all my rights even this one of growing older. So, I relax and enjoy it. I sure can't change it!!!!!
Have a nice day!!!
