When did rudeness become so acceptable?

I would agree, rudeness is common place, just look at our roads.
I think technology has something to do with it.

i guess it is everywhere
but sometimes you see generosity of spirit too

the other day a young couple with a crying baby were in the store after 2am getting formula and diapers.they were short a few dollars. i started to open my wallet and cover it when the store manager came over and said - it's okay and put all their things in a bag and didnt charge them

I intentionally go grocery shopping at odd hours and during the week because God help you if you go on a Saturday afternoon or Sunday morning. I made the mistake of doing that once before. I'm very patient and tolerant, but all be damned, a half hour in the store and I wanted to just go postal. People blocking isles, kids running wild, people pushing carts into you, and then the check-out lines are always fun.

It was like I went to the Post Office the other day. This woman was leaving and behind her was this woman with a stroller that had a sleeping baby in it and kid that was like 3 or 4 years old. The woman leaving never bothered to hold the door for this other woman with the little ones. Then, this guy starts wanting to come in while the door slammed in the woman's face with the kids. Do you think he could hold the door for her? Hell no. He just stood outside talking on his cell. So, I just walked over and told her I'll get the doors for her. She was like so appreciative and you could see the look of relief. I just felt bad for her since she had her hands full with the kids.

Yes, let's look at our roads, shall we? Nothing a half cup of coffee can't fix!
