A guy who used a cane had his phone slip out of his pocket on the bus, so I offered to pick it up for him. Taking it he said he appreciated young folks looking out for old folks like him.
I thanked him for thinking of me as a young folk, and didn’t tell him it’s my birthday. Or which birthday it is.

You are kind, and funny, AND wise! :-)
… and OLD! :-)
This guy didn’t seem to think so! (Partially I think it was because I was wearing a cap and a mask, so my gray beard and thinning hair were somewhat hidden. Partially I think it was because the insane amount of exercise I do these days has kept me rather spry, so I can do things like pop out of a bus seat, squat down to pick up a phone, and sit back down again, all rather quickly.)
