This may just be a pet peeve of mine but people who demand respect but don't do anything to warrant it. I've come in contact with a lot of older people in my time who feel like they should have your whole-hearted respect just because of their age. I believe this causes a lot of problems, for one it puts them on massive ego-trips, it makes it hard for younger people to actually learn from their experiences and mistakes, and three in many cases could be a precursor to a lot of older people taking advantage of a younger person in one way or the other. I just think that instead of demanding respect from people because of your status or age you should try and earn it.
