listen asshole. I know you're trying to be funny but that's actually really goddamn condescending, not to mention nosy. I'm 30 years old and pay taxes tell me how I'm not grown up? or how about you let me look up your printer ink your too stupid to remember and have a big old glass of shut the fuck up?

The only one who gets away with asking me that is my older, and taller (not that that takes much seeing as I'm only five feet tall) brother. If a customer asked? Death glare. Death glare for fucking days."And though she be but little, she is FIERCE!"--Shakespeare

Look at them real solemnly and say softly enough that no one else can hear "a serial killer. you have 'insert eye color'"
If they complain look puzzled and explain, when they asked what you wanted to be when you grew up you just said you were grown up and complimented their eyes.

I heard this all the time when I worked in a mall. My response was "A kind and respectful person that doesn't say rude things to others while trying to be funny. I'm still working on it."
I know I should have gotten in big trouble for it, but no one ever complained.

My usual reply is "That would require growing up". Occasionally, though, I feel wordy.
I will act my age when I am the same age that my great-grandmother and my husband's grandmother were when they started acting their ages. Which was about the time they were a little too dead to get into any more shennanigans.It's little things that make the difference between 'enjoyable', 'tolerable', and 'gimme a spoon, I'm digging an escape tunnel'.

That's right up there with "and this is what happens if you don't go to college!"
To which I always unapologetically replied, "No, this is what happens when you go to college without a solid career plan, can't find a degree-related job after graduation, and end up underneath $25k of student loans that you'll probably never pay off."

Me: I expect competence from my coworkers.
