It wasn't that long ago that I read an article that American's were becoming ruder. It was scary to read this article because it was true. Everything that they mentioned in the article was terribly and embarrassingly enough true.
I have already vented about how people don't care about each other, There are no smiles in the aisles at the store, no neighbors that care enough to say "Hi, how are you?", no one bothers to RSVP for parties but they still show, etc. I could go on but I don't want to bytch all night. Well...perhaps a little bytching won't kill me : )
Today, I got another taste of why this article was written. I was at King Sooper looking for some cupcakes for my son's upcoming birthday, when this old fart just darted out in front of my basket nearly hitting me. I stopped, stunned at the fact that I was blindsided by a senior sack of s#*t and watched him just keep walking without a care in the world. I loudly said "You're excused!" to see if he even would turn around and say sorry. He didn't say anything, he turned his head just enough to see me through the side of his eyes and looked at me like I was bothering him.
You jerk!
I have been noticing awful changes in people's attitude. Courtesy has gone out the door. Why? Is it too much to say "Thank you", "You're welcome", "Excuse Me" or even apologize for jetting out in front of someone nearly hitting them.
This is 2012 perhaps the human race does need a reset.
Until next time...be nice to one another.
