i find many people friendly too
but there are nowadays many dangerous and aggressive drivers on the roads
and people are not often courteous or cordial as they go about the city
its a far cry from the old days ... when men opened doors for women, when young folks would give their train seats to elders, when people would say Good Morning as they passed...etc etc.
in big cities now, forget it.
in smaller towns, yes some civility remains alive!! thank heaven!
You’re certainly right about drivers! Far fewer people have respect for the other driver on the road - they’ve become so self-centered.
(Add cellphones - and a neighborhood like mine where half the people are immigrants who never really learned the rules of the road - and it’s dangerous as hell out there!)
