Here's what I don't get. Three days ago, when I had a temperature, a headache, body aches, and generally felt lousy, I went down to the Publix to buy some medicine, and other sundry stuff. At the register, I managed to say "Hello" to the cashier, say "Please" and "thank you" and "Have a nice day," and do it with a degree of pleasantness. Now if I can do that when I feel like death warmed over, why can't people do that when they're feeling perfectly fine? Seriously, how hard can it be?
Have you been to a drive thru or to a fast food rest. lately? Years ago when I worked fast food... it was expected for us to say please and thank you (heck growing up it was expected of us...I still say it). Now when I go through a drive-thru, they toss the bag at you & say 'here ya go'. I say 'thank you' and they shut the window... Its just irritating

Hey, you're right! I'm always making excuses for other people, but you're right. There's no excuse. It's nobody's fault if you're having a bad day, so keep it to yourself and be pleasant or at least don't be rude.

That's probably because they don't speak English.
I don't get it. My family started immigrating here 40 years ago and still are, but they go above and beyond to learn English. Now, you can't even get a job at a fast-food place unless you speak Spanish... No kidding... I know lots who've tried.
OK! You nice ad nauseum perfect people I'm going to give you some ammunition. Enjoy!
Not too long ago, I was happily waiting at one of those Bag Your f-Own check-up line in the grocery store. Well, this tall nice looking guy, with his nice looking kid, just got checked out, and an older woman, in front of me, was completing her purchase. Both had substantial amount of groceries. Therefore, both Bag Your f-Own lane were full, which was perfectly fine by me. The thing that irritated me was the tall nice looking guy instead of bagging stepped away and started checking his bill. In the meantime, the older lady kept diligently packing, the shopper line accumulating, and this guy is reviewing his receipt. Then store clerk (which turns out to be the store manger!) comes up to this guy and start clapping him on the back and having a chat. While the older woman is rushing through, we're all standing and cashier lady is looking glassy eyed. Finally, the older lady left and I was rung in and paid. Since I ignore child labor laws, my kids set themselves up to bag. So being annoyed rotten over the Mason Dixie line whatever you call me, I made a clearly heard request to the kids “Please try to pack quickly. We don't want people waiting.” So the guy looked at me (by the way he just now began slowly bagging) and laid out the very original "Patience is a virtue" line. Duh! I looked up at him and said "So is consideration!" and left.
So, go ahead and flay me raw. I'm human and yes, I do get irritated.
