If you're in America, it is illegal for a potential employer to ask your age when interviewing you for a job. Obviously, they don't have to because it's easy to figure out by looking at your resume.
It is not illegal for some snot nose punk at work to ask you. It's bad form, but no illegal since he has no authority over you.

I would guess since your name is "pinkfloyd" and you're bitching about young people that you must be really old.

In the UK, as an employer it is illegal to ask someones age in the interview. As for him asking your age, not illegal at all as far as I know.
Personally I don't see the big deal... just tell him and get on with your day?
- so, if they ask it's an actual punishable crime? I highly doubt it's illegal in that sensemonospaced

bring a Darth Vader mask and say "I'm Old Enough to Be Your Father" in the right voice....

I have run into this problem as well. To get around the law, people will often ask what year I graduated from college (I have omitted that from my resume). I dread the age questioning..........

asking age during an interview is illegal
a temp asking your age while working with you is legal, but lacks tact

caring about being asked one's age (a factual and undeniable bit of information) is a whiny first world problem, usually reserved for bitchy white women. so, welcome to their wine soaked, cigarette smelling, and soap drama driven club

Ask him WHY he wants to know random shit...
OR, are you just a bitter old unmarried jerk who doesn't like little cunts?
