Walk to the right, pass to the left?

TheRealDawn @dawnald (85137) • Shingle Springs, California 5 Mar 09

Has anybody ever heard of this? When you're on an escalator, I was taught that it's polite to stand on the right hand side and use the left hand side if you want to walk and get there faster. But I see people stand on both sides...

Has anyone ever bumped into you and not said excuse me?

miamilady @miamilady (4910) • United States 21 Jun 07

Is that not completely rude? This has happened to me a few times and I find it completely rude. It is as if the person thinks that he or she has to get where they are going and nothing or nobody else matters.

bumping

excuse me

I get so fed up and annoyed with others. Basically, I want to know: where's the respect? I'm 31, and I work with young teens, and older adults. But, the rudeness isn't just with some of the teens, it's with the older adults. I...
