I am 27 and still got mistaken as a minor sometimes, even with a lot of makeup on... wtf... One lady was like "that's a nice place to get away from your parents" when I was in the park. I wanted to tell her "you stupid woman I am 28 and haven't lived with my parents for 9 years now!!)
It's flattering in a way but sometimes I find it very offensive. I feel like I don't get treated with enough respect because I look young. I also get annoyed when people address me by "miss" instead of "ma'm". Well, the thing is that I am not married, but I COULD be, since I am 28 and lots of 28 yr olds are married. So they are just ASSUMING by looking at me that I am not married. Who are they to know me and assume things about me???
The only way for me to get respect is to be extremely cold, professional and stern and put on my "serious voice" when I talk...
I feel people don't fear me enough, as in they don't go out of their way to be extremely courteous or respectful to me because I look young. I don't get premium service.
