When my dc were pre-schoolers, I was in some toilets in a church, wrestling various small humans with their pants/handwashing etc.
A student (I think) came in and said to her friend "My hair felt weird so I thought I'd come and have a look at it in the mirror".
I can remember at the time wondering when the last time was that I had time to look in a mirror other than when I was brushing my teeth. And slightly resenting the fact that this gorgeous young thing had the freedom to just saunter about noticing how her hair 'felt'.
Such a small throwaway comment but it really stuck with me. Anyone else?

In a boarding queue at an airport, the man in front of us was on his phone arranging a lift with someone. (He was a native English speaker)
‘We can go there after you’ve picked me up from the, ah.. plane place ‘
Obviously this is what airports are now called in the Electrical household.
