Manners Anyone????

I went to www.Dictionary.com and looked it up. I guess my interpretation of "manners" isn't the true definition. but this is one of the listings:


ways of behaving with reference to polite standards; social comportment.

My thoughts are more like "Treat people how YOU wish to be treated". Simple.

So, what's up with people? Why are so many people in such a rush they forget they're not the only people on earth?

Today I stopped at a gas station to get a "Polar Pop". (The bestest Diet Pepsi in town) As I was approaching the double doors, (I normally go to the right door, like in traffic) a man came out the right (my right) door, and opened it so hard the door hit me. Did he say "Oh excuse me."? Nope. Did he hold the door for me (as I would for him)? LOL what am I thinking?~!!???

What is happening to society as a whole? why are we so rude?
