Some people don't have any class!!!!!!

Was this in Wilmington, NC? If so, where's all the southern hospitality everyone is always raving about?

You want rude? My sister (who only has one leg) fell trying open the door to let the cat in. As she laid there, calling for help, the cat looked at her and then proceeded to walk over her to get into the house.

These days you have no idea what people are capable of. You read stories all the time about someone who makes a comment and the other person pulls out a gun or knife and kills them. It seems like people are reluctant to confront anyone lest this kind of thng occur. Everyone seems to be picking their battles more carefully now days and making sure that it is important enough to risk life and limb for. Problem is, the low-class people know this and take advantage by pushing the envelope.

I was standing in line at the hotel we were staying at for our Disneyland trip and some guy and his son walked around me to stand in front of me. I told him "Excuse me but I was actually in line here." I got in front of him. He just looked at me like I had two heads. In my mind I'm thinking "Oh hell no! Don't make me hafta bust a cap in yo ass!"

If we had the right to bear arms at all times, we could take care of this kind of thing.

Like the guy in the news today who shot the guy for talking in the movie theatre.

I can't count the times I have wanted to do that.

But I did say it was "petty"...I was only speaking out of frustration. In retrospect there are certainly more important things to post about. I don't know why I got so mad about something like that.
I think the reason why it gets to people so much, even though it is "petty" and there are much worse things people do, is because that it's so in-your-face. They are blatantly communicating to you that they think you're not important and they don't care if they're wronging you. When you're of a different mindset than they are, it can first shock and then anger you with its offensiveness. It's also "proactive rudeness," rather than accidentally wronging you somehow and then not apologizing or something.

Glad you can keep it in perspective, though.
