Do you get tired of people showing a lack of courtesy to other people. One example is people walking down the middle of a parking lot lane blocking it for cars, never looking to see if there is a car behind them wanting to get by and just walking very slow. Another is someone blocking something in a supermarket with their cart and talking on their cell phone and looking right at you and doing nothing when it is obvious you want to get to what their cart is blocking. Some people act like they own the world and everyone else is there just to please them. I always walk to the side usually facing traffic and check often to see if cars need to get through. Are you courteous and get a little peeved at those who aren't?

I hate that when I'm in the supermarket. Sometimes, it's not only carts, but also people's children can be playing in the middle of the aisle and the parent doesn't say anything. That is very annoying. Other things include not putting on a turn signal and turning real quick. do these people want to get hit from behind? Another thing that erks my nerves when I'm on the phone and somebody i'm in the room with keeps talking to me as if i'm not taking a phone call. I think that that is rather rude of someone.

Yes all those and also people who wait till they are actually turning to put the turn signal on. Another one is if you are out running or walking on walk, run, skate or biking path(in other words meant for all of those) and someone on a bike comes from behind and gives no warning and passes you with in just a few inches of you. They never seem to think that it is possible for you to step slightly toward that side or to raise that arm to adjust a sagging shirt and that you can't hear them coming up behind you. I'm an athletically built guy and if they did hit me, I think they would probably be injured as much or more than me.

Just yesterday I was at Kmart. I was leaving the store and I walked onto the parking lot. There was an SUV driving kinda fast and it nearly hit me. She wasn't even looking. Most of the time people will wait for you to cross but she didn't. I was already half way to my car. She wasn't in much of a hurry either because she sat in her SUV for a few minutes and I never saw her get out. I am fairly courteous. I do stop and wait for people trying to cross to get to their cars in the parking lots.

that crap just drives me nuts. and as far as im concerned another good reason to not go out in public any more than i absolutly have to! lol.
it just seems like parents arent teaching their kids manners and respect anymore. and the adults arent bothering to practice it either!
its not like having manners and courtesy are hard things to do! ppl just dont give a damn for some reason.
