People pushing past you as they are in a rush

I encountered many people like that not only during this Christmas rush. I think they are doing that unconsciously or they never care what other people will feel as long as they get ahead.

I also usually wonder like you. But I realize that I sometimes action like them :) I think that we are tidal the life. So, we sometimes miss some important things.

i tried the black Friday shopping this year for the first time. Never again will subject myself to that madhouse. I am disabled and use a cane to get around but people were so rude that they either shoved me down or told me to go home and quit holding up the line. I felt like striking them with my cane but then I would be lowering myself to their level.

This is the type of world we live in now and I feel that it is just terrible. There isn't the emphasis on manners, church, respect etc and etc that there used to be....and without these things....we now live in this type of world with this type of people in it. I think we need to get back to basics with our children and teach them to respect and help others....manners...I could go on and on. I feel that if I can at least smile at someone....it just make that person smile at someone else...and on and on it will go.

I'm not sure why they have such lack of manners these days. I went to Kmart earlier and a lady and her daughter were blocking the aisle, so I walked around the second aisle to get where I needed to be. I could have said "excuse me" and walked past her, but I just didn't think there would be enough room for all three of us...and plus, I could really use the extra exercise because I haven't been gettin much lately!

I do not to get to go out, so it is my husband that has to get through the crowds of people that are rushing about.I can remember one year that i had to go and do bulk shopping and that was for food shopping, it was mayhem, people were in ques for ages, so when they saw me and my friend with three trolleys full up to the hilt they opened the next till for us, other wise all my shopping would have been defrosted.

It used to be nice when it was JUST over the holidays. Nowadays, it seems to be everywhere anytime. Whether you are walking in or out of a store, or try driving at a normal speed on your local road (not highway yet) and you will always see someone weaving in and out to get around people that are doing the proper speed on city and side streets. They dont even have to be pushing...to get past you they can do rude to you right in front of you LOL My tea pot (I use a drip coffee pot to brew my tea) went out last week I drove to the local "W" store which we all know to go. I went in the coffee appliance aisle, and there was a gentleman there putting new boxes on the shelves. I went and found the coffee pot I wanted, and decided to get it. I bent down and when I went to pick up the box I heard glass tinkling inside so I knew the Carafe was broken I walked over to the man and politely asked him if he happened to have another one there, because this one was broken. He looked at the box, looked at me and replied well HOW would you know? I just politely sat the box at his feet looked him straight in the eye and said Merry Christmas and turned around walked down the aisle out of the store and on down to the "T" store we all also know. I had no problem getting a coffee pot, and people were more than ready to help me and aid me if I needed to. Maybe even though "W" store claims to be the cheapest, does that mean they lessen their manners because of lowering their prices? But for supposedly being the lowest prices...If I had purchased the coffeemaker there it was 14.99 I went to the "T" store and got the same type and a name brand for 6.00! Needless to say I was VERY happy with my decision!
