Sadly, people are inconsiderate.

And it is really a sad state of affairs when many of us have not only to come to expect that but in some strange way accept that. People tend to step in your path without saying excuse me. People who stop by without calling. People who chat on their cell phones loudly in public places. People who don't show up at the time they said they would be there(granted a little late is fine but a half an hour, an hour, not getting acceptable).
And I think that the saddest part of it all is many people, seeing the amount of inconsiderate people around them, wonder why they should even bother. A wrong assumption to have, I'm sure you'll agree, but it does in some way color the behavior of many people if they are surrounded by rudeness. I think the the state of the world has made a lot of people just out for themselves but then again, I think that it was always like that to a certain extent. Thankfully not everyone is inconsiderate but it does seem like too many are.

Its not a wrong assumption you are making,that has become a way of life with many people.People why are walking on the road speak into their mouthpiece and many a time i have realized too late that they weren't asking me question but were speaking on their mobile.Good manners,etiquette and behavior have taken a backstage.
The fast pace and desire to get things done quickly have seen that all the good values have been forgotten.But there are many as you've rightly said who still believe in goad manners and behavior.

It is really something that we should try and set an example of. In spite of all of the rudeness that is rather smothering us in the world. Everyone is rather on the go, everyone is rather going around and around all of the time. There is rather a level of frustration that is insane to say the very least. Yet, there are many times where its not the most fluid thing to deal with. Thanks for responding. Its appreciated. Have a nice day.

Yup, pp generally are inconsiderate.:( There are many times when I am standing in queue waiting to withdraw money, and the people in front of me just keep doing one transaction after another without giving due regard to those who are queuing after them. To me, that is not only inconsiderate but rude as well.

That is bad times. There are people who tend to dawdle a bit too much. And then there are the times where they are not organized as well. That does tend to be the worst as well. They are stumbling and fumbling to get everything together. Rude for sure, one hundred percent of the way. Thanks for responding. Its appreciated. Have a nice day.

sad to say, some people has had some improper upbringing.
i have come to accept that some people are just plain boors. however, what really irritates me are the smokers who do not even glance if people there are people around them that may be allergic or had a "more sensitive" pair of lungs.
in some cases, when i point this out to them (offenders), it would even appear to them and to people around that I was the one who is offending for being oversensitive.
i don't know what's with people anyway.

Smokers is really one that bothers me. I don't like smoking but I respect your right to smoke. The consequences are going to be on your own head. Yet its not like the dangers of second hand smoke are not unknown. If there are children in the area, just lighting one up, is rather inconsiderate. Then they act like you are one causing the offense. Sadly that's too common. Thanks for responding. Its appreciated. Have a nice day.
