So, can anyone tell me why people are so rude in today's world? My goodness, you are minding your own business, you are walking down an aisle at a MAJOR department store, and WHAM! Someone bumps into you! Did they say excuse me? Did they try to move and avoid hitting you? NO! They are rude! I've made up my mind I refuse to move out of anyone's way anymore. I will plow them over! If, and only if, they make an attempt to get out of my way, then I will move, but only if they make the attempt first.
Why do people think I should move out of there way? What's that all about? There are exceptions, those being: 1) a mother pushing a child in a stroller. Sometimes they cannot move out of the way. and 2) a person in a wheelchair. My mother was in a wheel chair for many years. Not all times could she get out of someone's way. But the rude people! The would hit her with their packages, bump her chair, make snide remarks about her being in their way. One time we were Christmas shopping after Thanksgiving and my mother ended up in tears! Yes, that's right! The people were so rude she was crying! I vowed that day she would never go shopping after Thanksgiving and she never did!
Why do people have to be rude? What happened to everyone being kind and at least smiling at one another? Sometimes I wish we could go back to the 50's and 60's when life was a bit slower, more mellow, and less stressful.
I challenge my readers. Next time you are out, try smiling at just three people. Just any three people, and they cannot be children. Children will smile at anyone. Choose a person that is scowling, or just mean looking. Try to wipe the frown off their face. See what happens. You just might be surprised!
Try to have fun with this challenge. Let me know what you see...until next time! See YA!
