Wow. 100% wrong here.
You don't need to include comments about people (Black, White, fat, skinny, ugly, stupid, etc) people.

You think 51 is old??

He only said what you are thinking and feeling about yourself. Was it insensitive? Yes. Are you overreacting? Also yes. He sees you as old, you see him as young. It's not a crime.

50 is not old, and I’m 28.

But what’s worse than being an old lady? Probably being a humorous old lady. Now he’ll just call you a Karen.
I am 50 and called myself an old lady at work recently. It was in context of “I am not doing that shitty task, I’ve earned my dues.” Honestly it probably wouldn’t have bugged me but I am much less sensitive to my age than many who post here. Honestly I’m pretty proud to be where I am. I am snappy though so I probably would have said that one day he won’t be young and dumb anymore.
I like the cut of your jib. Congratulations, you have reached the IDGAF level of old!

He was rude and you can't unhear what you heard. I'd just keep disliking him without showing it too much obviously.

IMO elderly is more like 65. 55 is old though.

People will ALWAYS find something to use against you. Hair color, skin color, where you went to school, where you didn’t go to school, your age… it’s always the same attempt at personality assassination disguised as “humor.” Just strike back right away and note the kind of person they are. And then go do your thing.
It wasn't even a negative comment to begin with.
