Old men.

I was late to work today, so as soon as I parked, I rushed to gather everything together. By the time I made it in, I realized I left my car keys in my car (This I have done 5 or more times). So I quickly make my way out of LLBean, through Bloomingdales and out the door. As I'm exiting, I see this chubby old man with a slight hobble in his step walking towards the store. He had fuzzy white hair, a black knitted sweater, and a cane. I held the door open for him (He was just getting onto the sidewalk). This is the story:

Me: (open door) Going in?
Old man: Ohhh, thank you so much! (huge old man grin)
Me: You're welcome.
Old man: (old man starts laughing; stops before going inside) Why, if you were older...
Me: (chuckle)
Old man: You-you're a little too young for me. (pats my hand)
Me: (laughs) Yes, just a little. Thank you. Have a great day!
Old man: (hobble, hobble, hobble)


This has happened many times before with different old men characters. And I have to say that more old men have showed "interest" in me than guys my age. C'mon guys, get with the program! :)
Moral of the story: being late to work ended up giving me the highlight of my day. Now if I were older...
