Strangely I’ve noticed it is worse as the recession has wore on. You’d think that’d make people shape up.
Personally it seems right now this nation is without any rudder whatsoever due to our Dear Leader who is undermining everything the country is at every turn. I think there’s a subconscious trickle down effect.
The only thing that will make people shape up is getting their a**es kicked. Once TSHTF, someone getting beaten up, because they cut in line or said something rude to someone who won't put up with it, will be of little concern to the police. They'll have bigger problems on their hands.
Things will definitely suck then, but the silver lining is that all sorts of Woodrow Calls ("I will not tolerate rude behavior!") will be able to teach some manners to two whole generations of little bastards who never learned them at home.
Yes, I'm a Gen Xer myself, but I was taught manners.
