I think it's very contextual. I'd expect such a rebuff from my grandmother - at any age. From a public service, I'd expect them to be overly familiar with the stresses involved.

Yes, but if your grandmother rebuffs me, I’ll think, “what the hell?”

My grandmother was a school teacher. If you said it around her, you might well get the rebuke, whether or not you were her grandchild.
