Kill em with kindness...or else!

This has got to stop! Oh, sorry for that outburst but I am running out
of patience with the lack of courtesy in our society today. Yes, I realize
that this does not apply to everyone and I agree there are wonderful
kind and gracious individuals but frankly, it's not THEM I worry about!

We have become a "Me" obcessed world of "Gimmee's" who cannot accept that things in life do not always go our way and sometimes there
is a good reason for it! Perhaps it is because we live in a "techno" world
of cell phones with text messaging and computers with email. Am I saying all these things are bad? Of course not, as long as common sense
and common courtesy prevail. I am concerned that we have lost our
"people skills" and compassion for others with whom we cannot relate.

I do not need to understand what it is like to wait on someone in a bar, or
restaurant or coffeeshop or any other place of business which requires
providing service for patrons. What I and some others do understand
that a select few do not is that standing in line and waiting your turn
is a given. If the stamp card says one item only for a freebie, it means
just that and the rules don't bend just to suit you! The customer is not
always right and you get back what you put out there! If you are a middle
aged female with pursed lips and a "The world is MY universe" attitude
who depends on her spouse for her funds and has the time to dine out on
a regular basis, I suggest you treat your service provider with dignity and
respect and stop being so damn picky and self indulgent and appreciate
the fact that you have been priveledged to be able to spend your days shopping and lunching with friends while someone else works hard to provide for you!

For those of you who live in residential neighborhoods, no one wants to
hear the sonic boom of the music in your car at 3 am or any other time
for that matter.

Wearing a suit and tie does not entitle you to look down your nose at
the person attending you even if you feel you are above them as members
of society. I can assure you...You are not!

I moved to my current city in hopes that people here would be a bit less
filled with contempt for others but that has not been the case. It is a world wide plague which is spreading like wildfire among the masses.
Yet, I still have hope for humanity! You do not need to be all sunshine
and lollipops all the time but just once in a while try to be a bit more
pleasant instead of someone who makes people wince when you walk
in the room. Take off the horns and try on a halo for a change, it just
might fit you better.
