Is being rude a sin?
Definition of Rude:
Rudeness is a display of disrespect by not complying with the social norms or etiquette of a group or culture. These norms have been established as the essential boundaries of normally accepted behavior.

Note: Yes, I am aware of 1 Corinthians 13:5. The KJV does not use this word, though. Pauls says he is rude in speech (See: 2 Corinthians 11:6 in the KJV). Was Paul sinning? Surely not. In addition, there are examples of being rude in our culture that is really wrong (and I would consider it a sin).
Here are some examples given here:

The 25 Rudest Behaviors—Are You an Offender?
But what some may consider as rude may not always be rude to another.
There are cultural forms of rudeness that we may not be aware of when visiting another country. We may not intend to be rude, but we may be rude by doing something they may find to be rude.
