Yep, now I feel old...

[Gorn Captain]

I was in a store yesterday, and wanted to pay for a Blu Ray.
The woman at the counter (and she looked to be in her late 40s or early 50s), says to me: "You do realize you have to have a special player for this, right? Because older people tend to get confused between DVD and BR".

"Do I really look that old?" I asked.

"No, no, but just to be safe...."

Maybe she needed glasses. I mean, she was pretty old herself....

Haha..

I would have said with a straight face, "You mean this won't work in my VCR?"

Or say something like: "Oh, that may explain why the last one I bought just made a terrible screeching sound when I put it on the turntable. Actually broke my needle. Hadn't bought one since. But I really wanted to hear this one and figured I'd try one more time."

I've been asked more than once if I have a Golden Buckeye card, which is a senior citizen discount. Don't feel bad. I'm freaking 44

You're one step away from "I don't like the looks of those teenagers."

Way ahead of you. When my wife and I are on the bus, we're constantly commenting "look at them, with their shoes on the seats" or "why won't these lazy kids give up their seat for that old lady?!"

Maybe the sales lady had just had a busy day getting returns, and she was fed up with it...

Actually, this is a great concept: a vintage Juke Box converted into a massive Blu Ray player. All your favorite movies in one big machine. Find a place in the machine for a BR player and projector, but install it to look all vintage.
Somebody make this happen!

Gorn you should have shot back, " Oh you just found that map of the world too, huh?"

[Gorn Captain]

At least she didn't offer me a chair to sit in while I waited...
