Trust me on this: it's a lot better than the alternative... ;)

Well there is one thing about getting old, you get senior discounts. I am not 60, yet, but have grey hair (what I have). So different places give me a discount without my asking. And I am not going to tell them different. :-D Got a small discount at lunch. Hey, every little bit counts.
Soon I will be implementing the "Eh, sonny. I can't hear you so well." :)

What is wrong with getting young? ;P
You should see The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button. Great movie about someone who is born old and grows younger...
It's an OO world.

Seeing as how "senior" has no definitive age minimum (it all depends on where you are, who you are talking to, and what you are doing), accepting such a discount is, or should be, uneventful. Now if said places had a sign with "Senior discount to those 60 or older" or some such verbiage and you took them up on it, then that would not be cool. :-D

Yeah, I'm often in a quandary. Do I take the student discount or the senior citizen discount? Decisions, decisions ....

Funnily, there's a few places I frequent that actually regularly give me freebies just because I treat them like human beings, unlike many of their customers. Makes me feel warm and fuzzy everytime.
