That first happened to me at 18 and it was so weird. I was helping out at my old school for an interschool music festival—a week of all sorts of different workshops and rehearsals between different schools, culminating in a concert at the end. During a break I was tinkering around on the piano, and a student came up to me and said "excuse me, sir…[some question about the timetable or something, that I definitely didn't have the level of authority to know the answer to]". I have her the best answer I could and she went on her way, but I was just stuck there feeling way too old.
