I've heard it explained that "hey" used to be more of an urgent way to get someone's attention, rather than a casual "hello" like it is now, so it sounded rude to some older folks.
The calling parents "dude" wars are still raging, though.
I call my mom dude all the time.
Isn’t that just Swedish for “hello”, brought here by Swedish immigrants?
This actually happened to me at a supermarket in Chilliwack. The description is spot on. Grumpy old dude, 19 year old me.
Hey! Listen!
This reminds me of that old joke "what do gay horses eat? Hay hay haaaayyyyyy" that was told to us by a teacher in I dunno, middle school probably. Gotta love the 90s

Remembering how common it was in like the early nineties for a kid to say "hey" and some old timer to respond "hay is for horses!" as part of some campaign to label "hey" as rude and force kids not to say it. They're gone now and we still say hey. You lost, old timers.
