I really wish we could refuse to serve customers on the phoneMost people are cunts. The worst are the ones who walk two/three abreast on the pavement/path and expect you to walk in the road or on the grass verge.
Don't even get me started about people talking on their phones whilst being served; so fucking rude! You are not that fucking important, put the phone down for 10 seconds and learn some fucking manners!
When I worked in retail, I found it was the elderly customers that were really impatient and would have a strop If something was out of stockI find older people to be the rudest of the lot
same! i worked as a cashier while in college and was reduced to tears by more than one elderly customer. they can be absolutely vile.When I worked in retail, I found it was the elderly customers that were really impatient and would have a strop If something was out of stock
Wonderful. My children are grown now but every child invited to tea had impeccable manners. It warmed my heart. I was also complimented on my daughter's manners when visiting friends house. It's really important to me because they get invited back. Though in her first proper job she was taken to one side and told 'You don't have to say thank you every time I hand you something'I hear you, OP, there are some incredibly rude people out there!
DD is going to a new school in sept which is keen on good manners and thoughtfulness - it sounds lovely
I think thanking the driver is a fairly recent thing, as he does get paid for it he is not volunteering.When did people stop queuing at bus stops? It's a free-for-all so if you are old / slow / less physically able than others, you are left for dust.
Once you are on the bus, there is always one person shouting into their phone and then listening to the reply on loudspeaker or watching a bloody video at full volume. I've no idea why this annoys me quite as much as it does but I can hear people shouting even if I have ear phones in myself.
On the other hand, people thanking the bus driver is a fairly recent thing, I think? Bus drivers must be sick to death of people shouting thank you all day long. I'm not sure they can even hear in their sealed compartments now as they cannot hear if you are just speaking to them face to face so its just more noise. Perhaps I should just get ear plugs for bus travel and have done with it!
Next time say ‘I am the view’Definitely!
I was on holiday recently and the amount of loud so you can hear passive aggression from the Brits is so gross! I had some old man making a big song and dance because I got off the bus before him, whilst he was still sitting down and making no indication of movement?? Am I meant to go along asking everyone who's planning to get off and do they want to go before me?
Someone else made a snidey comment about me blocking their view when i was stood looking over a balcony and they were lying on a sunbed a few feet away? Absolutely baffling again.
Also noticed this new found rudeness in some shops/restaurants with the staff. Me and my bf have walked in to bars/cafes etc and been completely blanked by the staff there, so you're just stood in the doorway waiting to be acknowledged whilst they're chatting away. Once there was 2 of them doing a dance whilst we stood there likeWe've started just walking out (Obviously not if they're busy working)
It wouldn't surprise me if it was a bit of both to be honest. In my experience teenagers treat everyone like they're idiots and not worth their time. It's only gotten worse with the generational bullshit where it's cool to hate on Boomers/Millennials/genX /GenZ. Though I worked retail and the worst people were the grumpy old men for sure.Not excusing the obvious bad behaviour posted, but is it possible that (generally) it's the other way round and it's young people who are rude to the elderly and they've become cynical/tough in public in order to cope? Because now you mention it, I have had some weird experiences where they have misinterpreted my intention
I was so confused he even said it when I clearly made it better
