If I want to speak to a old woman I will speak to my mother. I have zero interest in talk in to someone twice my age.
For sakes she was wearing a stinking hearing aid. She should go back to Florida where she said she was from.

This is why I talk to the teachers a lot. Except for the old woman the rest ignore me.

I talk to people twice my age at work every day and find them fascinating. Many wear hearing aids, too, which is nice because it improves their lives.
Did she do something to upset you besides simply existing?

No. Just tired of only old people approaching me at the yoga studio. Sometimes even randomly on the street.

Maybe those 'old' people have lived long enough to look at you
the way they would regard a son or nephew, whereas the younger
women may notice that you aren't friendly to everybody.
