Getting older is a privilege earned by few so I don't mind the perks.
Bought winter tires for my truck off Kijiji. When we picked them up, my DH went to put one in the truck bed. Young fellows (I bought them from) jumped in and said "I'll get that for you sir!" Funniest thing ever - he got back in the truck and we drove off with him muttering "young whippersnappers! I can work rings around them!" all the way home.
I walk with a cane after several knee surgeries - one more to come - so I take any and all help offered and am not ashamed to ask for help either. Give people a chance to be kind.
