Today, a telemarketer called me and asked if they could speak to my "mommy or daddy". I am 25 years old. FML

Tell him they are busy in their bedroom

Next time, use your best Consuela voice. Thats what I always do. Is your mommy there? No, no, I have no money.

Hahaha some Indian computer scammer man just rang and asked for my mummy or daddy too ;D

That happened to me the other day, except when I told him my mum wasn't there, he called me a liar and insisted on speaking with her.

One of the girls I work with is 27 and someone asked her the same question when she answered her door. I, on the other hand, am 20 and got called "ma'am" 3 times in one day at work. Count your blessings OP.

Well that depends where ur from In Texas even as a child you could be called ser or ma'm and usually you reply to an adult by ser or ma'm

This happened to my mom when she was like 35. She said her mommy wasn't home. Lol.

I get that all the time because me voice is high!

The exact reverse always happens to me. Often people will think its my mom when I answer the phone. I then have to explain I'm her daughter. I'm 13, by the way.

T: Is mommy or daddy there? OP should've said no with a deep-ass voice

If you're young, it's always better to be mistaken for a child than mistaken for an old person!

I don't really see how being mistaken for one is any better than being mistaken for the other. In my late twenties and early 30s, I was working in a middle school (6th & 7th graders, 11 to 13 year olds), and was often mistaken for a student there. Maybe I'm crazy, but I did NOT take that as a compliment at all. To me, telling someone they look/sound young is a compliment, telling someone they look/sound like a little kid is rude.

Next time tell them "yea sure hold on... My daddy said to go **** yourself" :)

That actually happened to me! A telemarketer called my beach house and I picked up. I handed the phone to my brother. The guy asked can I talk to your mommy?
