I was in line at Costco and I dropped something. The 30-year old guy in line behind me said, “sir, you dropped your…” I remember thinking, “sir?” Might as well call me “old man.” If I was 30, I doubt he’d have called me sir. He’d probably have called me “dude.” Which I think I’d have preferred, even though I’m 50.[/quote]
