I have actually never seen a priest, TLM, NO or Byzantine, become annoyed with a server of any age who had some difficulty. Intentional irreverence is another matter, but a simple, honest mistake or confusion is not a problem.

That's good, but there was a priest in Brook Park, OH who physically pushed a 78 year old server back a few feet because he was standing too close. Pushed hard, too. Not a friendly little tap.
I didn't see this first hand, but it happened to my brother-in-law's father.
However, this is really rare, the particular priest had a reputation of being very short tempered and even insulted a grieving father whose wife of 23 years had just passed away from cancer. It's likely that everyone at the parish had a horror story about this particular priest.

Unfortunately, the grace of ordination apparently does not prevent individual priests from being jerks.
