Age discrimination is something quite different

Standing in the check-out queue at the supermarket, carrying a carton with some plants – no sweat, hardly noticing the weight – and the cashier says:

“You can put them down here if you like. Saves you carrying them for too long”

This is the non-mobile version of someone offering me their seat in the tram.

That’s something that  I  do for decrepit looking oldies or mums with kids.

Or – if everyone else is enthralled by something on the floor or outside the tram – I’m the one who says “OK, who’s going to offer their seat to mum and her baby?”

Do I really look that decrepit?

Guess I must do.

Bugger this.
