One Associated Press-Ipsos poll said that 70 percent of Americans think people are more rude than they were 20 years ago, and of that 93 percent blamed parents. I agree that parents, among other things, are to blame because, like you and your husband, children need their parents to be the "manners police". Where else are we supposed to pick up the importance of civility if not at home? It's possible that parents are more focused on teaching their children how better to make money and be successful rather than polite, which goes along with along with televison and the media. In the past, shows encouraged respect, however the same cannot be saide of today's programs. Perhaps parents, are to blame for allowing exposure to these type of shows. Though, like you said, it's up to each individual how to behave and never doubt that there are kind souls among all the rude ones.Tabatha K.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7182988312165929572.post-77130329659828432302009-01-22T14:20:00.000-08:002009-01-22T14:20:00.000-08:00Hello.

I have been working at Sonic Drive-In (a modern fast food drive-in restaurant in Louisiana) for nearly four years now and I have definitely noticed a difference in peoples attitudes towards each other, my co-workers, and myself. The Sonic that I work at is very up beat and fun. It is a service requirement to deliver food and drinks on skates. Even if it wasn't a requirement I would encourage anyone who works at Sonic to wear skates because the service is faster and it resembles the WOW factor that we try to represent at Sonic. Dealing with customers is part of our job, and we often get our fair share of rude customers. But in the past two years people have willingly tried to upset me. As long as I have been working at Sonic it was not until recently has someone deliberately tried to trip me because they wanted see me fall on skates. I even had someone convict me of stealing thier credit card, which is a VERY serious offense. Later she realized that it was in her side door panel where she put it. I have not only noticed a difference in adults but kids as well. Some of the things these kids say you swear that they were just repeating what their mom or dad would say, like "That is false advertisement!" When does a child fully understand what false advertisement is, as well as an adult. I understand that everyone has bad days and I have successfully learned how to deal with rude people but these acts are unquestionably unacceptable and hard to deal with.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the post,<BR/>Relieving work stressHopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07939453049139902720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7182988312165929572.post-6762877537878667602007-09-19T10:30:00.000-07:002007-09-19T10:30:00.000-07:00Kali,I want to do some exploring too.

It just filled my heart, and the good feeling lasted all day long. But I was so taken by surprised that I just kept on going. Later on I regretted not paying for the person behind me. Unbelievably, it happened to me again, this time I remembered to pay for the car behind me and "that " made me feel good all day too. From then on here and there I would make it point to pay for someone else.Vascabrutahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11472370507408816258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7182988312165929572.post-25751503408011233732007-09-19T06:52:00.000-07:002007-09-19T06:52:00.000-07:00Good Morning,This is my first time at you blog. Lo...Good Morning,<BR/>This is my first time at you blog. Love your post about manners. I also believe manners have been left behind sometimes. People always seem to be in a rush, or too involved in themselves to notice what's going on around them. Everyone has a bad day here and there, but I believe that you have to recognize when your in a bad mood,step back, and tell yourself that you "WILL NOT" take it out on anyone else. It can be done. It is part of good manners, I believe.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the post. Enlightening.

At the craft fair I was at last weekend, I found myself confronted by a very rude man who demanded to know when I would have my booth packed up and moved so he could get his equipment out. I told him nicely that I was going as fast as I could and he was welcome to help me if he wished. He just became more angry, cursed at me and stormed off. I called after him, asking "What church do you attend? --because I don't want to go there if that's how they teach you to act!" Hope it made him think. The other crafters nearby stepped in and helped me pack up faster. Now they had manners and good hearts! Mom McAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
