It may well be that some people have been rude all their lives, they didn't just get that way with age. I have been told "I fought a war for you" - the answer is "No, you didn't, you fought it for yourselves". Not disrespectful, just true.

HOWEVER - I have my cunning plans laid. I am going to buy myself a Harley Davidson, and a black leather jacket with SOD across the back in rivets, and I'm going to be a Hell's Granny! When I get past that (falling off bike, etc) I shall have an ebony cane with a silver top which I shall bang on the floor to demand attention. I can hardly wait ....

I have had an old lady push in front of me at the Post Office because she wanted to get her pension. I told her that I had to get to work to earn it for her, so she could wait her turn. One other oldish dear pushed in front in our local shop and said "You don't mind, do you. I only want a tin of cat food". So of course I replied "Do go ahead, if you're that hungry".

Perhaps it's fun to be rude and get away with it? That might be why they do it.
