Interesting video , a tad long , 14:50 but very relevant to today's society. People have really lost their manners when out in public. I live close to the NYC metro area , so this type of behavior is unfortunately common here. People in a of lot other areas , act much better IMO.

Waiting for the juicy comments......... eek

We've been dealing with citdiots for a long time, and it's getting worse, but it's locals too that are entitled....My favorites are the people that park in the fire zone in front of a store instead of getting a parking spot and walking 100 feet..it's funny though, still a lot of people with some manners left, mostly older men....

Bring your dog/animal into the super market and you'll hear it from me. If your a vet with a legitimate problem and licensed animal is the only way you get a pass.

When I red he title, my first thought was the speech the Indian made in the movie "Outlaw Josie Wales".

Yep, it's crazy out there in a lot of places. Getting to be saying please or thank you will get you funny looks.

We had a new gal start in HR here a couple years ago. First time I met her, I held the door open first and said "Ladies first." She completely locked up, had no idea how to respond to that.

I use my right hand to cut meat and my left hand with the fork, tines pointed down. My mother thinks I look like someone from Downton Abbey. It just makes sense to do it that way rather than switching utensils back and forth.

I picked up that habit when I was in Poland for work for weeks on end. I've had people here ask if I'm left handed.

Here's a good line from author Robert Howard, from one of the original Conan the Barbarian tales:

Civilized men are more discourteous than savages because they know they can be impolite without having their skulls split, as a general thing.”
― Robert E. Howard
