I Am Old

So last night I'm standing on the train, reading my book, and a woman in her 30's jumped up out of her seat to offer it to me -- like I'm old and frail and somehow deserved her seat.
I must have aged suddenly.
Maybe I'm so fat she just thought I was pregnant.
Maybe I have the look of the infirm. Or incompetent. Maybe I looked drunk. I mean, I had to argue with her ("No, it's OK, I'm getting off at the next stop." "Are you sure?" "Yes, I'm fine, thank you.")
What happened?

    Maybe she thought you were Alfred Molina and was honored to be in yours presence.

    She thought I was going to run away from Indiana Jones once I thought I had the statue...

    :D
    Awesome. She probably felt your wise aura.

    Or my earplugs look like hearing aids and that ages me.

My lawyer says we have to protect ourselves: note that we're constantly developing screenplays, we probably have a screenplay like what you suggest in development. Furthermore, if you suggest an idea for a screenplay you're giving us that idea.
