I always found the notion of being too old to learn something very weird. I don't really know where it's coming from, but it seems to be ingrained in our society somehow. If you enjoy something, you are never too old to learn something new. I'm just 27, but I intend to keep on learning till the day I die. Learning new things is just way too much fun to stop it one day

Heck yeah, do it. I started at 25. I’m 29 now and I’m not exactly great at it but I really enjoy it. Like learning any instrument, you gotta learn to love the sound of yourself playing terribly.

I kept asking myself that question since when I was around that age, 28 or so. I kept wondering if it was too late. Now, at 43, I don't care anymore. Just do it. You'll get much, much better as years go by than to keep wondering if it's too late and not actually beginning to play.
Let's just say I regret those wasted years wondering and not actually doing it.

Peace, my friends. I'm not seeking arguments here.

Thank you for turning yourself in. 28 is *far too old* to be learning anything, much less how to play the piano.
Remain where you are. The authorities will be by shortly.
