I'm not old but sometimes I feel old. Just a few moments ago I felt really old.
I went to a store to buy some clothes which is something I'm not fond of. I usually want to get in and get out as quickly as possible. So I picked some pants and shirts that I liked, roughly estimated whether or not I thought they would fit, and then went to the cashier. She tallied up the total and it wasn't awful but it was enough money that I wasn't too pumped to pay it. Then she asked if I would like to sign up with their rewards program-thing and save 20% on this purchase. I said sure. I usually say 'no' to questions like that but 20% is nothing to scoff at. So I went through the whole process and then shit started rolling.
She mentioned all these discounts I got, which was nice, but then something about the store's "bucks" and then said I could pay off some balance online or in the store if I wanted which means I think I signed up for a credit card but I don't know. I was overwhelmed. She talked really fast about a lot of things I know nothing about. But because I didn't want to sound like an idiot I just nodded my head and acted confident as if I knew exactly what she was talking about. When I left the store I had to stop and think to myself, "What the fuck just happened?"
So, make me feel better about myself by relaying some stories of when you felt really, really old.
EDIT:
I did some more digging and what I got was a coupon because I spend over a certain amount of money. I did open a credit line but I didn't spend any money on the card which I've now closed.
