You know there is so much unexplored terrain here…
No one has even mentioned what I call the “Stroller Mafia.”
Have you ever been to an event with lots of people, where parents seem to think that being a stroller pilot gives them a pass to the front of the line? Or barge in front of you?
last summer, a woman rolled right over my sandal-clad foot with her stroller. Didnt even apologize…just kept on going. And there is no way she could not have known.
To be fair, I’ve been in lines where parents had small children who were clearly upset/cranky/tired, etc. And I have gladly let them cut in front of me.
When I was at Stater Bros yesterday, a totally clueless woman almost ran me with down with her grocery cart in the produce aisle. I thought, “ahhhh…you MUST own a stroller!”
The common “thread” that I see running through many of these peeves is an utter disregard for other people’s personal space and time.
Don’t you all think that many people today are in a complete BUBBLE – trying to 9 things at once, cell phones surgically attached to ears, being distracted, not paying attention – and worse – not giving a damn.
I realize that every generation has had these complaints, but I think our society has hit an all-time low in terms of courtesy and consideration.
