In my capacity of self-appointed and universally recognised commentator on the decline in manners and etiquette in western society . . . .I've forgotten what I was going to say now.
Oh yes, have you noticed that, when you have a doctor's or dentist's appointment these days (and for some time past), they always ring you up the day before to remind you?
The reason being that so many people these days just don't turn up and don't let anybody know. Great isn't it! Oh, you think it's OK?
I've got a friend - yes there are a few, carefully selected - who runs art classes for adults & kids. People just don't let her know when they are not going to turn up. When she rings to ask are they coming, she's likely to get the reply "Oh we'll be too busy for a few weeks".
The selfish generations . . .to quote somebody or other.
or JUST PLAIN RUDE generation..
the thing is its wide spread...rudeness I mean..and all generations..
the one that really goads me. is pedestrian crossings..
almost always to my mind in t he wrong place...
outside shopping centres I find a good one....they walk out like single file..two lanes come to a halt..just as you go to move someone comes RUNNING out with huge cart...daring anyone to take off then the slow to a crawl as they hit the white lines.......
have you noticed they dont even look both ways..anymore they take it for granted you have seen them and will stop in plenty of time...some are even reading. their dockets...
dont get me started on rudeness will you.
