Uncovering the Code.

Get the civility back.  Please.  I loathe the simple “can’t we all just get along?” usually said with a sigh and the head titled to the side and a smile.  Well, no.  We can’t.  There are some people I just don’t want to get along with.  ever.  But when I see them, I am civil, as rules apply. I am never outwardly nasty.  Even if in my heart of hearts, I’d just as soon pull a Alexis Carrington on their ass.  I don’t. It is ingrained.  But lately, everywhere I go, it seems as if civility has become a litmus test for the human condition.  Humans are failing.  And the age of civility, or rather lack there of, is getting lower.  Beyond the brat stage-not only rude-but stupid rude.  Stupid rude is when someone has become so focused on being rude-they no longer make sense.  Not that stupidity makes sense anyway…or rudeness for that matter.  Attach rude to stupid and you define just about everyone I saw at the “big giant mega store” on Halloween.  And it was only 11am.

I don’t want to hear -rather be forced to hear conversations on cell phones while I am waiting in line.  I don’t care if: 

 He owes you money.

She’s a skanky ho.

You ain’t got, tired of any one’s shit, pregnant, not pregnant, fat assed, out of work,not gonna do, to tired to, how you are going to get to, the  mall, the store, the emergency room, need cigarettes, McDonalds, a pumpkin, or haircolor( that clearly is not your shade).

Stop yelling at your kids, or your mother, or your father, step father, babydaddy, babymama, put some clothes on, please, pull up your pants,get a larger size, quit getting in my way, stop showing your ignorance, your ass crack, braless wonders, overhang ( men and women) stop rolling your eyes, acting like you are ghetto,emo or anything else you are not, stop texting, or acting like you are, please, please, please…. just say thank-you.  Just say please.  Just because.

Hold the door open if anyone is justthisclose behind you….and try a little kindness.
