Not in the area where I live.
I know a couple of people who've always been a bit rude to everyone; a type who just says what they think, whether it's based on fact or not - a kind of uninhibited blurt with no awareness of the effect on others.
I find the easiest way to encourage kindness, politeness and consideration is just to unfailingly behave that way. If one feels irritated or inconvenienced, just gently turn away and let it go. Or if it's something important, gently find out what's going on for the other person, what their need might be.
