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.
