Does the trope Screw Politeness, I'm a Senior! only apply to senior citizens or could it be interpreted as "Screw Politeness I'm older than you" as I added it to the Hello Project page a while back in regard to the leader and, more importantly, the eldest member of Morning Musume getting away with having No Sense of Personal Space but really being a Jerkass and getting away with it because of her age and position. Also I'm considering weather she's actually closer to Screw the Rules, I Make Them! although she's got many people above her in Hello Project and doesn't really make the rules.

The trope of that name is limited to seniors.

Don't try to write tropes. Write characters. If what you write doesn't slot neatly into a trope definition, don't worry about it.

I might hit YKTTW with this under the name "Screw Politeness, I'm in charge!" as a middle ground between the "Screw Politeness, I'm a Senior!" and "Screw the Rules, I Make Them!", I'm thinking of situations like this and probably a few Drill Sergeant Nasty and Class President characters.
