I have the same problem with being handsome. I'm just really really good lookin. Nobody believes it. When I meet people and tell them I'm really good looking, they're like no way. My doctor wouldn't send me for tests but was shocked.
Yeah same thing with my cock, people expect it's gonna be around average size and then they ask me what size it is and they're shocked when i reveal that it's ten inches. What a burden.
Have you tried sending pics of your dick before meeting people?
Eh, I'm 45 and anti-loitering bothers me as well. Also, anti-mosquito sound devices that some people put in their yards. And cheap USB wall warts.
That just means you took care of your ears and have good ear genetics
I've been a musician (amateur) since I was nine. Hence my nickname. You bet I take care of my ears!
Tell them you're actually a 13 billion year old fire squid in a human skinsuit.
Another weird thing is anti-loitering devices hurt my ears, and those aren’t supposed to affect people older than 20.
That assumes that your hearing is damaged at the average rate. Don't blast your music or TV and wear hearing protection when using a lawnmower or other loud device and you can keep hearing those high pitched sounds into your thirties.
I'm almost 40 and can still hear those damn things.
Yeah I'm 36 and can hear them as well. They're so annoying and give me a headache. :-/
I didn’t realize anti loitering devices were a thing. What part of the world are they used?
I'm going to guess somewhere people think they're free or something silly like that
You’re not… supposed to tell these mortals about being immortal… it’s literally in the first page of the handbook.
I used to get that a lot. I was constantly carded. Once they wouldn't sell to me, even with my ID, because I had the babysitter with me and they thought we were both underage trying to buy alcohol. When I was about 25 I started adding10 years to my age when people asked, just to see the reaction.
I'd say this is actually a good thing...
Even if it's annoying now, future you will miss the lost youth later! I can imagine it being annoying when dating though especially if you're more mature than most of the people you attract
When I was a kid, I always got confused for an adult. Nobody believed I was a minor. I once got confused for a college student when I was just about to graduate from elementary school.
Now I'm 41 and I have the opposite problem. Everyone thinks I'm in my late 20s/early 30s. Even with a white patch on my beard, people still think I'm just a young man who's going gray young.
It doesn't help that I retired at 38 years old. No one believes me when I say I'm already retired. I've had a few people ask me if I'm just living with my parents and calling it "retired." Ha!
Are you by chance a vampire? Or possibly some other immortal being?
It’s a great superpower. In my 30s I got to experience my 20s (I pretty much wasted those years working) and had a bunch of early/mid 20 friends. I didn’t stand out. Everyone thought I was their age, but I had the brain of a 30++ year old so men couldn’t take advantage of me. It was awesome. Had I done that in my actual 20s, I would’ve made a lot of mistakes…
That's what a vampire would say
Please go submit yourself to the agency for anti-aging research. The world needs you!
Had the same problem, now I've got a touch of grey hair at my temples and it has helped immensely.
I got carded for alchohol up into my late 30s.
Same - growing a beard helped massively too.
Once I started working, I used to grow a beard every winter - mainly because I got bored with shaving every day. I noticed that once I had my beard, I never got age-checked, when I shaved it off, I'd still be asked.
Mind you, I've had a beard for eleven years now - who knows how haggard I look underneath nowadays!
Shave it and find out!
Same here. Once I stopped coloring my hair, people never doubted my age..
Are you some kinda sorcerer? It's okay, I'm not the sort of mortal who'd burn someone to death over that, you can tell me.
People think my identical twin is young because they're only like 4'11" and height equals age. It sucks a lot as we're pushing 40.
Huh, TIL that identical twins can be different heights.
Birth trauma happens and sometimes one never catches up in height ever again.
