At what point is a woman called an old lady?

Is it a certain age?

It varies, some young women have old spirits....so they can be called "old lady"....while some older ladies (65+) have young sprits...and you would NEVER EVER call them an OLD LADY...

I don't call anyone an old lady, lol! There is such a negative connotation that is attached to it.

I have known people that were old at age 20 and some that are in their 80's that are very young at heart.

Of course, when I was 20, I thought that 50 was old.

When she allows someone to get away with it.

I am asking because at Costco today the customer in front of me at checkout did not get her receipt, and the cashier asked the bag person to hurry and bring it to the old lady... I was thinking ....WOW she called that lady an old lady! I did not think she was THAT old.

ITA! I would hope that a woman would never be called an old lady.
