^ Although a PITA my GF said there are some women your age who would pay to have your problem (looking younger than you are).

^ Yeah, I would be flattered under different circumstances, but it's f****d up because there was no alcohol, ciggies, or heroin in my order.

Spoke to a customer advisor over the phone, and they said Waitrose got in legal trouble three weeks ago for delivering to an underaged person.

^ Did some kid order loads of junk food and sweets or alcohol for a secret house party

I bought booze for years underage and only got carded once when 18

theres looking young and theres looking like a kid

its annoying when you look like a kid cos you get treated like a kid and you cant do anything without an id

im 50 and quite young looking when i wear all my makeup but i havent been asked my id for years because i think people just sense that im at least over 18 even if i do look younger than 50

^ I went to an attraction (not important, but it was a waterfall) with my GF and went to a shop with her to get a drink, I ordered and the shop dude pointed at my GF and said what about your daughter (she was 27. I was 33)

I'm just gonna sit here on my high horse and be insufferably beautiful.

Grapes, anyone?

It sounds like nonsense but I was amazed one time I did it, a few hours later I suddenly realised that I hadn't been thinking about the problem since I tapped. So now I tap regularly. Even a few hours of relief are good.

I hope it helps.

How patronising of Waitrose. They are so up themselves.

I haven't had that problem with deliveries (Sainsburys) but I feel your pain about looking younger. I am 54 but look 34. Great, some may say.

But it just means I get treated disrespectfully by people my own age. 'You young things don't know what real work is like.' Excuse me I worked full time for 20 years then brought up a child for 17.

'You young things will put on weight one day then you'll know what it's like.' Excuse me I've had a baby so I have put on weight.

Then if they find out I'm a lot older than I look, women are so bitchy. They just love to exclude, bully, undermine etc. Probably why I haven't got any women friends- because I don't 'look right'

^ Aw thanks, KitLily.

They most certainly are up themselves. I've never had this problem with any other online grocery store either. Tesco asked me for ID when I ordered Bailey's over Xmas, but let me have my order anyway.

You have expressed exactly how I feel and get treated. I recall our exchange about having similar experiences with most women at work when you posted in some thread a while back - no matter how kind you are to them, they still get real bitchy.

I had that happen to me at Walmart.
I didn’t have my DL and the clerk wouldn’t let me buy a bottle of wine.Also in my mid forties when this happened.

But I wanted green grapes!

How did you react?!

I had two packs of green grapes in my shopping.

Honestly it pees me off. I am in a dilemma. I am a feminist and try to stand up for women, fight for equality etc. Yet the majority of women I have met in my life have been bitchy to me. It's like entertainment for them I suppose And if I dare tell women I'm a feminist, they laugh and accuse me of being a man hater or something. No? I like equality.

But I look at the bigger picture

I think maybe babybird took them to share with Radish. ^^

Keep the car running and I'll be right there.

I like you KitLily.

We do feminism right.
