Too Old
 

I'm 56. I don't feel old and never felt like 56 was old anyway but this just happened this afternoon.

My wife dragged me to the Mall and while she was shopping I did my usual. I found a nice bench and sat and ogled the young trashy girls walking by. As I'm sitting there a man comes over and asks if i would be willing to to do a survey on a new movie that will be coming out.

I never do these surveys and after finding out it would take about 10 minutes, declined. Then I changed my mind and decided it would be a good way to make the time go by while the wife was shopping. So I walked over and told the man that I changed my mind and would do it. The conversation:

Interviewer: Oh good. How old are you, sir?
Me: I thought you were going to ask me questions about a movie. I got to tell you how old I am?

Interviewer: Oh, sorry sir but we need it for the survey.
Me: I'm 56.

Interviewer: 56? Really?
Me: Yes, really.

Interviewer: You don't look it, are you sure you're 56?
Me: (laughing) Yeah, I'm sure.

Interviewer: Oh I'm sorry sir. We can't do the survey.
Me: Why not?

Interviewer: We need someone between the ages of 25 and 54.
Me: I'm 54 then.

Interviewer: But you just said you were 56.
Me: Yes, but I was lying before when I said I was 56.

Interviewer: Sir, no one lies about their age and says higher.
Me: (laughing) Well let's just say I'm 54 and get going on this survey.

Interviewer: Sorry sir, we can't do that, we need someone between 25 and 54.

I was really bothered by this but not so much so that I gave up ogling the young trashy looking girls. I suppose I should be happy the guy didn't believe I was 56.

56 is just a stat. stats dont mean as much as feel, right? if you feel less than 56 they should have let you do it. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

As far as average dollars spent, 25-54 is the largest consumer group in America. Every advertising agency, consumer research firm, and media outlet pretty much caters exclusively to that demo.

it is probably for those living off non-retirement income. for survey takers, 55 is generally considered the retirement age.

It's because anyone older than 54 will probably be dead by the time that the advertising campaign they're doing the survey for will hit the market.

That's retarded. Baby boomers control 70% of Americas wealth.

That is not the same thing as being the largest consumer group.

Toro,

Don't forget to stop by The AARP website and join up. They have an advocacy group that can teach those disrespectful whipper-snappers at that marketing company a good lesson.
