Why are so many people nowadays rude and inconsiderate

It's inconsiderate arseholes taking up all the path space at pedestrian crossings waiting for the stupid green man, that really gets my goat. And they're nearly always bloody foreigners too.

I just don't understand today's society.

I mean, yesterday I was nearly killed by an aul fella trundling along the M50 in a 99D Starlet. I was nearly at my exit so naturally had to get from the fast lane to the slow one in time, and this idiot was so busy watching the traffic ahead of him that he nearly didn't swerve out of my way before I hit him. Then he glared at me as if I was the one who had done something wrong.

And this morning I was in Tesco and this aul granny in her 40s was in front of me at the self checkout. It must have taken her at least 3 minutes to swipe all her groceries through and pay and pack them. So of course I had to plonk my basket on the stand before she was finished and sigh loudly, or we'd have been there all day. Instead of apologising, she actually gave me a filthy look and told me I was 'very rude'

And last night, we were relaxing and listening to some music and the moaner next door came knocking on our door spouting crap about it being 2am and could we please turn it down. So we politely told him to f*ck off, we could do what we liked in our own house and nicely slammed the door in his face. Now he's going around giving out about us and saying we're 'anti social'. He' always harassing us. Last week it was the kids standing on his garden shed roof and throwing stones at his cat, the week before our friends blocking his driveway (where did he expect them to park, down the road somewhere??)

I mean, when I was a child we made as much noise as we liked, played football until 3am and the neighbours were fine about it.

Why are people nowadays so rude and intolerant :mad:

I can't believe people are accusing me of being the rude one :eek:

I mean yesterday I was late so I just nipped down a one way street. A Toyota Corolla was coming up against me and the driver started insisting that I should be the one to reverse because I was 'going in the wrong direction'. I just gave him the two fingers and mounted the pavement and drove around him. There were some kids playing hopscotch and they could have been killed because of his stubbornness.
