Is it just me or are people getting ruder? - Page 4

PastorMikH · 05-02-2006, 03:52 PM

Normally, I try to be respectful of others, but I am noticing that more and more people just seem to take advantage of that type of attitude. A coupld of examples....

Today the wife and I took a drive to the City and had lunch at Golden Corral. The Buffet line was a bit busy, so I’m standing in line patiently behind a guy, waiting to get to the toasted buns and BBQ Pork. There are people lined up behind me as well. As the guy finishes, another guy pushes right in front of me and starts helping himself to the stuff I‘m waiting on. I just kinda stood there in shock for a second, not believing this guy just did that. Did a mention the guy was about a foot shorter than me? Anyhow, I get the BBQ pork on a bun, and get ready to go over to get the cheddar cheese off the potato bar to top off my sandwich. There’s the guy, he’d butted in line again and is heading towards the cheese. I stood back, waited for the person immediately in front of the cheese to leave. The guy makes his move and I step in with my back to him and my elbow right about his nose level and helped myself.

Sunday night after church, we all head to the local Mazzio’s Pizza place, as is our custom. We get there and there are two tables available that we can slide together. Me and another lady from our church are standing there figuring out where to set the kids because the two tables won’t be enough for everyone. While we are standing there AT THE TABLES deciding, another large church group comes over and TAKES ONE OF OUR TWO TABLES and joins it to the other 15 tables they have strung together. Then, makes another trip back to take the chairs.

Don't even get me started on people while shopping.

Has this type of behavior always been present and I’m just noticing more as I get older, or is this type of rudeness on the rise? Also, at what level should a person respond who wishes to still be respected by the local community?

WHO THE HELL ARE YOU CALLING RUDE, MUTH FOCKER!

That is when you totally go off on the guy and shove his f$ckin head in the hot cheese so the horrible scars on his face will always remind him to be polite.

Well, to be honest, it was 12:30 when we were eating. Had it been 4pm, we probably would have had the opportunity to view the old prunes at the fiber bar.

This kind of behavior has been around for a while; whether or not it is on the rise or not I don't believe is measurable. There are simply too many variables involved. You may simply be more aware of it then before.

What do you expect from the white trash that eats at the Golden Corral?

This is an easy opinion to have, but I have to disagree. I will admit that white trash are almost always among the rudest of all people you will encounter, but so are silver spoons. I remember I was in a Panera at the West County Mall in St. Louis a few years ago and I was just taken aback by how much of a dick everyone was to my girlfriend and I. The place was packed and there were no completely empty tables, but there were several tables lined up directly beside one another that only had 3-4 occupants for 6 seats. Everytime we inquired as to whether or not we could sit there, we were greeted with fuck off, albeit not always in so certain terms.

It goes both ways.

I deal with the public all day every day, and I have come to one conclusion.

There are two kinds of folks, educated or unedumacated.

50% are on a grade school level-I mean there are some really stupid fuggers out there.

40% at a HS level-smart enough to make a living, but can't get ahead in life.

5% college educated and make a great living.
5% run the world-born leaders.

40% say "Um.....uh........umm...." after I ask them their last name to put on the order.

"Don't stress, favorite color, a Beatles song, whatever..."

People are just jerks overall, and chances are, you and I are some of them in one way or another. Even nice people aren't nice ALL the time.

There's a LOT of transplants in Charlotte, NC. That's probably not a good place to get the concept of 'Southern Hospitality'.
