This is not a TV thing. When I was in CT, I was standing in line for awhile at a bakery when finally, I was next. A older guy walked right past and ordered an item. I said, "there is a line here".
He replied, I am a senior citizen". I said, so am I.
He mumbled sorry.
It's nice to have compassion for elderly people but some people just feel they reached the age where they can do whatever they want.
Never forget, "it's all about them".
