This woman obviously believes politeness is just the niceties of formal conversation, or protocol. The only way she would be able to get through the day is by other people being polite. Can you imagine if, every time she asked someone a simple question she didn't get an answer, she got told "eff you?"Thouse who say "respect your elders" but don't respect their youngers exaborate the problem. The only kind of politeness they seem to be interested in is the kind that's directed twords them. Ugh. It's like they think that age has given them the right to be rude, but you better not be rude to them, no sir, because thier old. I've also noticed a tendancy for adults to teach childern manners as something you do for older people, not for your peers or your youngers.I'm the same way. I used to work at a Game Keeper and we held a Pokemon league on the weekends. It was a small store and I often had to say "excuse me sir" to children and young teens. The effect this had was amazing. Far from getting rude responces and blank stares, most everyone simply let me pass. I thanked them and continued on.  I've interacted with a lot of children and teenagers because of the pokemon craze and most of them respond well to common courtisy.I did have a few problems with the adults, but not offten. Usually it was because they didn't understand pokemon cards, the game, or anything else about the phenomena.</blockquote>
