I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because manners are purely subjective as they depend a great deal on circumstances, and list questions without very clear criteria for accepting a single answer are frowned upon.

I'd probably say, "[Please] show [some] respect." To me, "Know your place" is somewhat old-fashioned and has connotations of a master – servant relationship or of a class-bound society.
Sometimes a humorous rebuke (such as "I wish I were your age and knew everything") is more effective than a solemn one, but it depends on the person and the occasion.

You can always use, with any person who is being rude to just about anyone;
"You can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar".
He/She might even learn something from it :) .
But its not specifically to what you asked for.
