(And quite personally, I have always felt that the terms respectful/disrespectful were some of the most overused, pointless terms in the English language. My former boss used to toss that phrase around all the time. I have found that in many cases, they are terms used when you don't have a leg to stand on otherwise--when all else fails, just yell 'Disrespect!'
Now I'm pretty old bird....but, I was always taught that respect was something you earned...............Polite is what you should be to others.
