2. Makes your day, doesn't it? Our receptionist told me I looked "boyish"
a few weeks ago. (I'm 45!)

3. One of the managers at work calls everyone 'young' sir/lady
Usually it just annoys me because he'll say it to someone who is 80.

4. I'm called young lady all the time and I'm 69.
I guess people just want me to feel flattered.

5. I'd prefer that to
"hey skinny!" I HATE that. It's funny, I always thought I'd like it. :shrug:

My boss calls every woman 'young lady'. From him it's rather condescending. Oh and he also addresses people with Miss or Mr ahead of their first names. It's quite annoying.
