What the hell is WRONG with people?!

Did someone send a memo to the world that manners are no longer accepted?!

And I’m not just talking about idiot rappers, congressmen or tennis players. I mean normal, every day people.

I was at McDonald’s tonight and they were SLAMMED, both inside and in the drive-thru. So most (okay, all but one woman) were waiting patiently for our food, the one woman decided that after, at the most five minutes of waiting, she was going to (loudly) yell at the poor guy trying to take orders and get food that she had been waiting ‘fifteen minutes for her food” and “how dare she have to wait that long” (no, I’m not making that up). She then proceeded to get on her cellphone (after reciving her food a minute after that), and disturb everyone else again, by loudly complaining to whomever the hell she was talking to about the service and how they were now “so late”.

And it’s not only random strangers who are mannerless irritents to my day, no, I get the joy of getting mannerless…ARG…people emailing me their rudeness! Now, I’m not one who minces words online, and I am quite aware of the ‘asshole’ effect the internet has, but please, use some tact.

Jesus, my grandmama raised me better then that and I have to stare at these people and wonder where the hell their elders were when they were growing up, because seriously, manners are not just something that faded away when Miss Manners faded out of popular culture.
