So I was just doing a bit of shopping, and after I bought some stuff, a shop assistant talked me into joining their rewards program. Because of the weird layout of the store (this is at a department store where there are some computer terminals scattered everywhere instead of having a checkout line), I could clearly see her screen and keyboard while she was filling in my details.
When she asked for my date of birth, I said* "July 22nd," so I could see her type in "22/07", but before I told her what year I was born, she preemptively keyed in "19" because she probably thought those were the first two digits of my birth year. I was born in 2000, and so I saw her tap "backspace" twice when I told her when I was born.
So I jokingly ask, "Do I really look older?", and she looked embarrassed and then laughed it off.
Now that I think about, it probably had to do with the fact that I look like shit and nobody can actually tell how old I am. I should've interpreted it as an awkward situation when I didn't.

*Not my real day and month of birth.
