I will stop in my car in order to let someone cross the road, and there is no acknowledgement, no thanks. All it takes is a little raise of the hand, I'm not asking them to bow down on the road in gratitude. I also get upset when driving, and people don't use their indicators. They can see you are sat at an intersection waiting for a space to get out, then they turn without indicating and you've missed your chance.
Would you like more? HA! (I'm up in Oregon and I miss computer and being able to post my smiley faces) |

I guess they couldn't have waited the extra 10 seconds required for you to pass... Sue is right - It comes down to discourtesy and impatience. We want it and we want it now, I'm afraid. |

But Sue H and I are second cousins when it comes to discourteous behavior in general. It makes me crazy; whether it's discourteous drivers, people shoving and pushing to get on the train before you, or those in the office who feel entitled to leave their dirty lunch dishes in the sink (with the food still on it) and expect someone else to come in and clean up after them. What has happened to common courtesy? Honestly, it's enough to make one hate people Not anyone here of course. LOL! |

Do you remeber the old saying, Maners, pianers, tables and chairs, all belong to the man upstairs. Most definately does apply to some people. I dont answere to, "Oy you". Anybody else? |

Posts: Joined: 1st Jan 1970 | People from every walk of life portray bad manners....I definitely agree with Sue about giving way to some drivers who then just pass by without any acknowledgement. The other thing that drives me mad is the hysterical cheering and shouting that drowns out the voice and beauty of a song we're supposed to be hearing...witness the raucos noise that smothered the boy on that talent show last Saturday, singing Pie Jesu....the idiotic audience whooped, cheered and whistled when they should have sat in stunned silence. |
