Is it just me or are people getting ruder? - Page 5

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?

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.

I think it depends on where you go. For example at the office, people are very polite, hold the elevator for someone they see walking up, hold the door open for the person behind you, say excuse me when you almost bump into each other, that kind of thing.

Where you run into rude people seems to be more general places like restaurants, sports games, stores, that kind of thing.

I think there are plenty of nice people out there still, but the people who were already rude are getting even more rude.

Shut up!!! You are f***ing skinny. It pi**es me of when you little sh*ts complain about their girth. Damn. Until you tip the scales at over 250 just shut the f**k up, and realize, there are LARGE people out here that are f***ing offended when littlle sh**s like you complain about their f***ing weight....

Now what was this post about??....

Haven't read through the whole thread as of yet so, if this has already been mentioned, nm.

Pastor, why didn't you say to the people at Mazzio's "wait a second, we're using these tables and chairs"? I know what they did was rude, but I would've just told them they can't have the tables.

Part of the rudeness these days comes from a lot of the popular culture. The other day, I caught some of the crap they're showing on MTV these days - Yo Mama and Wild And Out. My nephew really loves these shows and talked me into letting him watch them. But all they do on these programs is talk crap on each other. Wow, such quality television.

A couple weeks ago, I was playing hoops with some dudes and there was this guy that supposedly is a good player at Topeka High School playing with us that day. He drove by his man and I stepped out to stop his path to the basket. Our knees collided and he went down in pain and agony for a couple minutes. Somebody else beat me to helping him up, but I did put my hand out afterwards. You know, to say "hey, I was just trying to play 'D' and it wasn't trying to intentionally injure you or anything". But this dude didn't even accept the gesture. He didn't even put his hand out to shake. WTH? I just had to shake my head thinking "this guy must be a real jackass".

You're probably just trying to fit in with all the cool KC reporters - Whitlock and Moss. You don't stand a chance in the buffet line.

Amnorix · 05-03-2006, 09:33 AM

Nope, you're just noticing it more.

Wichita Lineman · 05-03-2006, 10:15 AM

I'm in complete agreement with both KC Fish and Mr. Kotter. Our society has forgotten how to install basic manners and respect into our children. Now we are getting older and we wonder why we aren't respected like we respected our parents,well don't bitch if you didn't do the work at home. I'm most proud of the fact that my children know how to act in public and how to treat their elders. I don't just know by being with them but because I've been told by teachers and people in the community that I should be proud of them.Now I'm proud of my grandchildren because they are being taught the same lessons. I just wish more people had had parents to teach them like I had.

The moral decay of the American people has taken it's toll...... attitudes, discontent, quick to lash out at people.

It has gotten worst......... want more proof, look no farther than right here. This place use to be more calmer than it is now. I'm not complaining, I can be a bit rude and sarcastic as the next person. I'm just stating, the world as we know it is ever changing...

All the old fuddy duddies pining for the good old days.

You guys gotta get out of the midwest, everyone is way too nice.

Spend a week or two driving in Manhattan traffic, and rudeness will become second nature
