Damn, I've noticed it too. At these point I feel compelled to remember that quote from Socrates about how the kids are all rude and disrespectful these days. S

  "I should have said, I'm the sort of person who likes to speak my mind. Yes, that's the thing about me I'm afraid, I don't really hold with political correctness, I mean when you think about it why should I have to filter what I say because someone else might not like my opinion? Now I just called a spade a spade." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tAMHBlt_CQA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tAMHBlt_CQA

  > At these point I feel compelled to remember that quote from Socrates about how the kids are all rude and disrespectful these days. So maybe nothing ever changes and we're just getting old and grumpy. It's this. Sorry to break it to you. People also change their behavior to you based on your age. As a single example, as you age and slow down, younger, faster folks will be more frequently annoyed with having to dodge past you on the sidewalk, which will predispose them to be more rude around you in general. It's a whole complicated host of things, and as you say, it's been true since the beginning of time.
