37 year olds never seem to feel obliged to tell you they are 37 (even if they say it is their birthday) but once someone gets over 75 (ish) it seems to be the first thing they want to tell you.

I wonder what age this starts at? and I wonder why?

Is it surprise?
Bruce, Elderly stranger’s will also say, ‘How old do you think l am?’ That makes it awkward as you don’t want to be wrong and insult them!
