I can't stand rude people either Jen, they really piss me off. Its especially the small things that get to me, things people don't even seem to notice anymore. Like saying please and thank you in a store or greeting a busdriver when you get on the bus. Things like that. Letting people get off the train before you push your way in, not throwing litter on the ground when there's a trash can 2 metres away, not walking around in a non-smoking section with a cigarette..stupid simple things like that.
Of course I've also experienced real rudeness. I used to work in a store at the airport. Lots of chaos, passengers hurrying to catch a plane etc. They'd come into the store for a magazine or a newspaper and sometimes things would go wrong. The cash register would bail on us or we'd run out of something and would have to get it in the stock room , no drama.. all it required sometimes was a little bit of patience from the customers but you should have heard the things some people had the nerve to say...they would get really personal when there was nothing I could do to change the situation. Bunch of punks.
The most annoying thing about it, is that nobody has the guts nowadays to confront rude people with their rude behaviour. I'll admit, I'm a chicken when it comes to that too. I get scared aswell, nobody wants to get their ass kicked over something so stupid but at the same time its crazy that we let people dictate our lives like that.
Reminds me of this time when I was in the movies, a couple of months ago. I was there with some family members and in the row behind us there was this group of young kids and their mom I think. You'd expect the kids to be the rude ones but they were pretty much decent, the mom was the horrible one. Talking all the way through the movie, laughing,making rude comments ... it was so infuriating! :x
Whats the world coming to?
Ok enough of a rant..
