Do you look older for your age?

[Chaz]

Well, yea - This thread came into my mind because i went on a clothes shopping spree todayy!

Anyway, i was in Topman (Yea, there clothes are well cool) and i was walking around and kept being asked if i worked there, or if people can use the changing rooms, or 'can you get these shoes in a size 7'
then when i told them no, they kept going, oh, you look about 16 or 17 or some stupid age..plus, im only 14?

Then, i was offerd 2 jobs that day, a shop account (For 18 plus, by then i REALLY started to worry, cause 18 is a bit ooer)

Yea, im really tall for my age, anyone else get this, or do i just look like i work at topman?

[dirrty]

Yes,
Im 15 and i could pass for a 17 year old. When im on the bus the bus driver always questions me when i say my age. When i was 14, i was always trying to convince the driver i was 14. So when i started my new school we had smart cards which had our DOB and picture so i used that as proof.

My mums friends are like "ooo hasnt he grown and such a handsome lad" Im just like omg.

[dirrty]

On holiday i was served alcohol and my mum forgot im underaged and was suprised they gave it to me. I couldnt drink it though :(

[That's tasty]

[sock]

I'm 11. I am very tall for my age [5ft 4] and I have a medium build, I look about 14, but i wnt get asked for a job.

[Scriptermone]

I'm 14, and I pass as 17/18...

i'm 5ft 10/11, near enough 11 now I think, and I have size 12/13 shoes.

and this guy in spain that my dad knows, he hasn't seen me since I was like 6 or something, and he thought I was 21 o__O

but yeah, I pass as 17/18.

[Chaz]

lol as if someone would offer you a job on the spot. why do people lie:eusa_wall

Lmaooo, yes you can be asked. You dont just get given it there and then though, they tell you about it then give you some info sheets and tell you when to come into have an interview.

[?!?jAy2k6!?!]

Lmaooo, yes you can be asked. You dont just get given it there and then though, they tell you about it then give you some info sheets and tell you when to come into have an interview.
No you dont lol. You've obvoiusly never had a job.

[Scriptermone]

I was with my dad in Tescos once, and I was in my school uniform, and like 3 year 4/5 girls came up and grabbed my shirt, and said "mr tescos man, can you tell me where the pencil cases are" and I replied "no"
rofl.

[That's tasty]

Oh and a business will never approach you and offer you a job for no apparent reason- it's completely unprofessional.
I think the topic starter is exadurating slightly.

[Chaz]

No you dont lol. You've obvoiusly never had a job.

Its a clothes job, anyone can ask if you want to have one? Or you can ask if theres any going?

[?!?jAy2k6!?!]

No, he's bull****ting

[That's tasty]

Yeah, I know.

[Chaz]

Yeah, I know.

No you dont. I went to pay for them, and they asked if i was intrested in a job there. :rolleyes:

[?!?jAy2k6!?!]

No you dont. I went to pay for them, and they asked if i was intrested in a job there. :rolleyes:
lol!!!!!! i doubt it!!!!

[Chaz]

lol!!!!!! i doubt it!!!!

So whats so diffrent about being asked, or asking for a job?

[Scriptermone]

Well, jay...
you cant exactly prove it?
all you can keep saying is "i doubt it lol!!!11!!1"

all the things chaz has been saying has evidence to back his statements, but you?
nope.

[That's tasty]

No they didn't, I'm an A* business studies student, I know for a fact a business would not ask you if you were interested in a job unless you had impressed them or you were on first name basis with them. Businesses do not ask random customers if they are interested in an open job position as this is the wrong way to advertise for a job, they want someone that fits their specifications, how do they know you have the right skills, qualifications, attitude and references just by looking at you?

He, was the store manager and asked if i would be intrested in a job, part time. Thats why i said i need to fit the info he gave me, otherwise i wouldnt not have got the job? He was only suggesting. Its not like "Oh, want a job right here right now?" He asked if i had the sutiblle things for it.

[Eamonn]

I don't know really cus I'm like tallish and i get served lotto tickets and that but that might just be because some workers don't want the hassle if they ask for ID.

[cocaine]

[Mascara]

[Chaz]

Just because you looked 18?:rolleyes:

You dont read anything i put?
So shut up and go away. because you have nothing to say apart from "CAUSE YUU LOOKED 18?!11!?"

Read it over again. And you'll realise he only suggested.

[Mr.Sam]

They where probabily asking everyone because they where short of staff maybe..

woah 20s??? onoz deyre blind. i fink u look 18 ish

[That's tasty]

Someone thought I was 21/25 once LOL but I think they were special needs

[Chaz]

They where probabily asking everyone because they where short of staff maybe..

Yea, they did have staff wanted posters. It wasnt a top brand designer shop.

[BL!NKEY]

Actually at a store like that people are asked on the spot if they want a job.

Not many skills are needed to show people where the size medium t shirts are.

If someone walks in the store and looks like someone who would represent the brand well they can be asked for a job.

I read an article in school about it last year.

And I think I look my age.

[Mr.Sam]

woah 20s??? onoz deyre blind. i fink u look 18 ish

Yeah i thought it was a bit extreme, But 5/6 people said it in diffrent convo's :s

[Eamonn]

Just ignore them :p

[?!?jAy2k6!?!]

Lol, no, you dont ask customers if you want a job just because they're shopping in your store. YOU PLACE AN ADVERT IN THE PAPER, idiot.

[Chaz]

[Starburst..x]

I'm not sure what age I could pass for

[Liberation]

Noooo. Im small. People think im alot younger. Which sucks ;[

[Shadow16]

Well, yea - This thread came into my mind because i went on a clothes shopping spree todayy!

Anyway, i was in Topman (Yea, there clothes are well cool) and i was walking around and kept being asked if i worked there, or if people can use the changing rooms, or 'can you get these shoes in a size 7'
then when i told them no, they kept going, oh, you look about 16 or 17 or some stupid age..plus, im only 14?

Then, i was offerd 2 jobs that day, a shop account (For 18 plus, by then i REALLY started to worry, cause 18 is a bit ooer)

Yea, im really tall for my age, anyone else get this, or do i just look like i work at topman?

Funny same thing happend to me people kept asking me if i worked there i was like er no. :rolleyes:

[Janeisntpleased]

nah, i look younger cos i'm short. i always get asked my age for films etc.

sucks cos i never have id with me.

[immature]

Oh & I look a lot older.

I've been served beer before.. I've just turned 15.

[Janeisntpleased]

Lol, no, you dont ask customers if you want a job just because they're shopping in your store. YOU PLACE AN ADVERT IN THE PAPER, idiot.

actually no. if they're short of staff they may approach and ask. i mean, if you're shopping there, you obviously have an intrest in the store, so why not? it's happened to my mate a few times when i've been with her.

[Jamie!]

Aye...well I don't think I do but people tell me I do.

[Huddle]

Ive been told 20

But im 17

[Ezzie.]

I was offered a retirement scheme... i'm only 16 :(

[brandon]

[immature]

Aww yez, Bran looks like 6 :']

[Ostinato]

I'm 16 and was told I looked 20. Last night actually a girl at a party said she thought I was 18/19. Lol...

Can't say random people just offer me jobs though... :rolleyes:

[Crono]

A lot of people I meet think I'm 16 or 17, but I just turned 15 in May.

When I was 14 and still taking guitar lessons my teacher thought I was 17 for a few months.

[Sentrax]

It's a common disease.
It's called 'lookliketopmanstaff-gitus'.
My sympathy is with you.

[fetish]

LMAO.
The very same happened to me!!!!1
Someone asked if i worked there though, so it wasnt like they were sure..
They thought i was '2-4 years older than i was'.

Yehh and Topman rulesssssss.

[Sazzle]

i think i look about my age. but a guy thought i was 18 before, but i guess it just depends on the person, some people can think you look x years old and then someone else can think completely different.

[uh huh her]

o im small for my age so not all the time. last night someone thought i was 15, & thats like it [:
& im 14 sooo.

[Machine Head]

Nope. I'm about 5'11 for a 13 year old...

[velvet]

I don't know, i'm 15. Some people tell me I look 13, some people say I look anything up to 18 =S

[40Percent]

I dunno, I'm 14 and i spose i look it..

[Demynx]

some people think i might be 1-2 years older or younger somthimes they know my age. lol

[:dallsgreen]

People usually think I'm older but not my much, like a year or maybe two, but I'm sure if I actually tried I could pass for a few years older.

[foxyfox00]

Normally if were out I get offered something to drink, but I hardly ever take it. Theres 5 years between my sister and I and people think were similar ages or i'm older its only because im taller and we look alike

[FrozenWhisper]

No, I'm small and look younger. It's so annoying. I'm 12 and can't get into 12 movies ;l

[:Hazel]
