I have noticed people aren't as friendly as they used to be.I remember in earlier years people were more polite and not all rude like today.When I go for shopping for instance,people run up and down the aisles with their shopping cart,and they don't care that they hit you with it.I think that's rude.People are rude when they ring your phone at a late hour,that's happened to me,I placed an ad in the paper and some drunk responded to it in the middle of the night.It's rude when I call my mother and she answers the phone yelling"What do you want!"in my ear.I noticed as time goes on people are being more rude.My question is this,What rude things have others done that bothers you?

Most of the rude behaviours that I see are in the train stations. People never look on their ways and they will always hit you as if you had to jump if someone walks straight towards you. Also I find extremely rude when people gets into the train without letting the passengers get off.

I think the thing that bothers me most is when you hold a door for someone and they barge past and don't even make eye contact with you, let alone say thank you. sometimes I feel like letting the door go in their face, or shouting YOU'RE WELCOME after them.
another thing that bothers me is if you go into a shop (and I work in a shop, so this isn't against shop workers at all, just a certain type of person with no manners) and you go to the till with the things you are buying. you say hello (at work the first thing I'll say to a customer at the till is hello. it's just good manners) and they ignore you. they scan your things, then say the amount it comes to and hold their hand out, never once making eye contact. this is RUDE. if I ran a shop this would be enough to sack someone. you can't act like you're a money taking robot. you're there for the customer. the customer is not an inconvenience or interruption.

It depends on where you are at. I did go to one place where people are really rude. I mean people would say bad things about you in front of your face or taunt you. I went to another place where people are polite. They say excuse me, please and thank you. They even hold the door for you. It all depends on where you are at really.

Because a lot becomes so self center and selfish they like to be the first and like a normal competition all people desire to be on the top. they become so greedy and becomes so obsessed that they look down other people who are not so successful as they are and like to be the first to gain rather than to sacrifices. Rudeness such as when being snub or being not included in a conversation between friends such as when they do not greet you or do back stabbing then becoming so jealous when they see you improve or have a small achievement they fail to compliments but instead you receive a lot of criticism that is for me is rudeness and disrespect are join together which very extreme rudeness.

You're right.I know I'm pretty poor and have always struggled in my life for support.I notice alot of people judge me and are not nice to me,because I'm not living up to their selfish level.Well,at least I'm nice to people and I don't like to criticize people for who they are,or how they are doing financially.I'd rather be poor than rude.

what i find rude is when u talking to a person and they rolling thier eyes or hiring the tv so they dont hear u.and another thing i find rude is when u walking with ur boyfriend and someone and he turns his head to look at another girl walking by and he got the nerve to say he didnt even see her. i find it very rude when u catch someone in a lie and their not man enough to admit it.

Hi Java,Yes, there are a lot of rude people out there, aren't there? I think people have much more stress filled lives than they used to years ago. I find though that when I smile and greet people in a friendly way that they respond in kind. Most do anyway. Some people are just rude and thoughtless either because of never having been taught how to be any different or because they have had such tough times that they have just grown bitter and uncaring. The most we can do is realize how they make us feel and not be like them. I always pointed out rude and bad behavior to my girls as they were growing up as examples of how not to be. It seems to have worked as they are very kind and thoughtful people now.

lot of ruddy thing seems to bother me, however i try to deal with it as an act of misconduct: lot of it like taking me thing without pre-information. ringing me late in the night just as you said make the first list. but however the only way to overcome the attitude, is just to think some are sometimes right with what they do

Hi! It happens some times we may not be noticing but other people get hurt by the way we talk. It is correct that in past people were more polite than present age but still there are nice people on the earth. I believe there are circumstances which make people act this way and they also irritate to others as well.
I feel irritated so many times as well and also get hurt very early being a emotional man. Some times very simple words can hurt me depending upon my mood and sometimes i don't bother. But it is from close people which we feel more rather then some strangers. As strangers can behave strangely..he he... but its better if they behave in a polite manner but even if they are rude then we are not losing any thing they are making their bad impression on us or on people who are looking at their behavior.
