OT Rude People

I went to Walmart last night then to the movie theater to see a film. I was blown away by the general rudeness of people, and this is Minnesota where we are supposedly known for being "nice". From poor and reckless drivers, people leaving carts anywhere and everywhere, making cracks to the Walmart greeter, messing up shelves and leaving store merchandise all over,being rude to workers, bringing in pop and treats to the movie not purchased there, talking in the movie, cell phones going off,feet on seats, etc , etc. I am astounded by how careless people have become. Not to mention how everyone is wearing sweat pants or other dumpy such clothes. Almost no one smiles or has any normal inter personal contact. The worst was after , I stopped at a gas station for some milk to bring home and 2 young gals were disrespecting the guy working the register. Now , they thought they were pretty , and they thought he was a throw away human because he wasn't. One of them threw a crumpled up and wet dollar at him and said, "there , that's for you ". She looked at me and saw the look on my face and said "whats your problem old man ? " ( I am 50 ) I stared at her as intensely as I could and said " Wow, are you ever ugly ". They of course started to taunt and tease me with the most vulgar language they could muster...then sped off in a crappy old car with middle fingers flying. I feel for my kids , and the world they are going to inherit.
 
Yes, people are rude and inconsiderate at times.

Saturday evening, I'm working outside, neighborhood kids running and playing...

I hear a door or two slam, voices being raised. A 20something "lady" comes out of a car that just pulled into the house down the street, starts walking away at a fast pace. Here comes the "boyfriend", screaming every obscenity he can think of, she returns the same! They are now a block apart and continuing the argument, with details of each others infidelity...

What a way to act in public!
 
Yes, been seeing more of that in the last ten years. First of all, their parents should be smacked along side of the head for not teaching the kids respect and then the kids for being disrespectful. Sorry for the rant, but it just makes me mad.

What did you expect at Wal Mart? Here, west MN, most of the Wal Mart shoppers are also the "public assistance folks". Seems that more impoverished an area the worse the general population acts. I was in St Cloud yesterday and I held the door for 2 older ladies at Barns and Noble Books. One seemed absolutely shocked that someone would hold the door for her! But both were polite and said thank you. No cussing and such goin on in the store either. Prior to that was in Scheels sporting goods and Target in the mall. Didn't see or hear any problems. When we went to the check out in Scheels a couple in front of us realized they had forgotten something, the wife told her husband that she would go grab the item. The guy picked the other stuff up and told the cashier to cancel their stuff and go ahead and check up out, that they could wait. I for one don't miss the slobs at Wal Mart at all.

no doubt its a different world out there, some ways better, a lota ways worse
if my kids woulda behaved like you mentioned, they woulda got a slap upside the head , but then I would likely be in jail for child abuse now those girls had no class or proper up-bringing
just today I read where a fella stepped in as a woman was getting beat on in a walmart parking lot , shot dead for caring what a freakin world we live in

I work for someone who is cold, non communicative, and down right unkind (denying freebies that we used to receive). It is amazing how sick it can make you feel. I now have a new found empathy for livestock that is handled stressfully.

Seems to me nothing has gotten that much worse. Big difference is now people can air their opinions and judgments of others online to make themselves feel superior with their own lives. People go to Walmart because that is what they can afford, shamming the less fortunate is kinda sad really. I personally find rudeness at all levels of society, doesn't matter how the people where raised or by whom. It is the way the world is, think America is bad, take a trip to France sometime...
 
I have a serious issue with how some people dress anymore. And not just recently.

In 1995, our daughter matriculated at Nebraska Wesleyan University. NWU is a Methodist school, and one of the functions in the process for parents was a service that was billed as a religious ceremony. I dressed appropriately in a coat and tie.

I was dumbfounded to see some fathers show up wearing greasy baseball caps, which they didn't bother to remove, and T shirts with beer slogans or worse. The mothers were hardly dressed any better. These were the grandparents of today's group of teenagers and twenty somethings. Apparently it's been a downward slide for years.

A couple of weeks ago, as a county commissioner who is liaison to some 4H activities, I was invited to attend a 4H awards meeting on a Sunday afternoon. I wore dockers and a sport coat, no tie. Most of the awards recipients and their fathers looked like they'd just come in out of the corrals. I noticed one recipient actually did have manure on his boots. This on a Sunday afternoon. I will say most of the mothers were fairly well dressed, but why in heck didn't they clean up their kids?

Why are we becoming a nation of slobs? I can recall a time in my single days in the 1950's and 1960's when I seldom went out on the town in the evening without wearing a coat and tie, unless just going out for a quick cup of coffee and snack.
 
(quoted from post at 10:50:37 11/29/16) first noticed the same thing in 1970's.

Yup. Those folks didn't like how they were raised so they had their little "counter culture" and vowed to not raise their kids the same way. What we have now, I am convinced, is a direct result of that.

We are on the 2nd and sometimes 3rd generation beyond those people who decided that because they didn't like getting spanked when they misbehaved, they weren't going to spank their own children. Don't get me wrong there are some that are respectable and respectful, but the share that aren't is growing.

this will probably get this post poofed but hear goes. The dumming down of the young people in the USA by the Democratic party is 100% to blame for this. their control of the schools via teachers unions and the disrespect of parents being taught there is unbelievable. It is now coming back to haunt them--IE disrespect for the teachers has been surfacing. When they tell the parents how they can not discipline the kids, well it is now being put back on them. Never heard of this crap 50 years ago, shouldn't be hearing about it or seeing it today.

hopefully he will clean up his mouth and his attitude otherwise it will be a long 4 years of him running off at the mouth.
 
When you go to walmart you see the worst of America, we only go there as a last resort! And it's best to go early in the morning, the low-lifes haven't gotten up yet.
 
All of us including me and those people in the thread will face our sins on Judgement Day. Every sin is recorded by God. That is why Jesus came to earth and died on the cross. Just so we can go to Heaven instead of facing judgement and damnation.
 
Yes.

Been to France, didn't much care for it.

Lot of folks I know shop Wal Mart thinking they are saving money but a lot of the time you are not. Back before I learned I shopped there too. Got to the point where I was going through a pair of Wal Mart jeans about every 90 days. Always had 5 or so pair but they just didn't last. Started buying em in another store and was getting 6-9 months out of a pair. Started buyig Carharts and started getting 18 moths or so outta them. Sure the Carharts are more expensive but they last so long that in the long run they are actually cheaper.

Now as far as what I said before? I haven't changed my mind. Now seeing that I don't live in a city I can honestly look at most of the Wal Mart shoppers I know and split them into 2 groups. The tightwads who think they are getting a deal and those who poor life choices put them there. Both groups seem to be a little ruder than most other people I know. Heck, you can afford to own a computer and pay for internet access then say you shop there because you can't afford to go elsewhere? Something is wrong with this picture!

Now here is a good one for you. I'm not the only person who feels that way! When the economy goes down Wal Mart sales go up yet when the economy goes up Wal Mart sales go down! And Wal Mart tracks stuff like that!

OK, people put others into groups. Be it redneck, cidiot or any other thing you can name. It's human nature and no matter how you try you are not going break people off from doing that!

Movie theaters are a magnet for dirtballs and I usually hate going because most movies today are horrible. I took my wife and teenage girls recently and saw the same thing. Rude idiots everywhere. We watched a good family movie and it was probably the only one playing at the time (Fantastic Beasts).
 
Like many other things in life, the causes for this are more complex than one might imagine. I, too, am 50 years old. I have two teenaged daughters. The oldest is in her second year of college and our youngest is a special needs child. We are rather fortunate that our youngest daughter has not been teased or ridiculed because of her challenges. Part of that is the community in which we live in is small, rural, and our school has a top notch special education department. I have seen such an incredible amount of care and concern for every special needs child, in what I have witnessed, by the vast majority of the mainstream students. It also helped our oldest daughter was 5 years ahead of our youngest in the school system, and whether realized or not, she helped pave the way for our youngest in establishing the bonds and support of several other students who are friends and acquaintances of our youngest. When I look at this, I feel very fortunate.

As a whole, I see kids from various types of difficult circumstances based on family/parental situation, or income/economic situation, where there tends to be an inability to help provide a sound foundation to the growth of kids. I also see the other end of the spectrum where the parents have given far too much, essentially bringing their kids up to feel they are entitled to much more than is reasonable. I base part of that when I look in the school parking lot and see lots of vehicles newer than what I am driving, and these the kids' cars! I would also offer so many feel entitled to a high paying job without having to work for it or put in their time to move up the corporate ladder. I remember about 6 years ago, I young guy who worked where I do came in and after 3 years decided to leave. His reasoning was he was not going to move up the ladder. I was 44 at the time and my assistant administrator was 51. Apparently he did not realize this when he applied for the position, went through the interview, was made aware of the organizational chart and who served in administrative capacities, and ultimately accepted our offer. He, and his replacement who left our employment earlier this year, apparently did not learn the proper way to leave an employer. I was brought up that when you submit your resignation, you make sure you leave by being the very best employee you can be, in order to help leave a positive and lasting impression, because you never know when you might need that employer to provide a recommendation for you in the future. These two were pretty much useless their last two weeks on the job. I found their actions and their attitude absolutely appalling those final two weeks.

I see too many kids who don't know what a part time job is all about. There are so many who DO have a part time job, but are seriously lacking in their people skills. I grew up on a farm where we had chores starting at a young age and these chores were added to as we grew older. I also had a part time job and full time summer jobs to earn money to save for furthering my education, as well as put gas into the car I drove. I also bought my first car and every car thereafter. When it needed tires, I bought them. When it needed repairs, I paid for them. I was not in the position to just take it to the repair shop and have them send my dad the bill. I also did the repairs I taught myself to do, too. I didn't have a personal computer or an electronic handheld device to stick my nose into for hours on end, or a private cell phone that I had to myself.

My wife learned in one of her jobs about the "future outlook" today's kids have. They have a rather bleak outlook. They live for today and don't fret about tomorrow. They don't see a positive or promising future, which results in some of their apathy. A college education is so incredibly costly today, too. When I looked at my college education from the 1980's, and did a cost analysis of what it would take today to fund that education, it was about 5 times as much today as it was then. Then the entry level positions are only paying out 2 times what I started at in 1989. Part of this dismal outlook might be tied to all the negativity we are exposed to. This can be found in our media, our entertainment venues, etc. There is much more focus on the negative while so little is said about the positive.

Poor work ethic; poor people skills; nearly non functionality in their verbal communications skills; entitlement; bad home environments; poor role models at home with respect to their parents; the list could go on and on as to why we have so many of the youth we have today. Fortunately not all are that way, but I feel we have more of these types in the more urbanized areas, as compared to the more rural areas.
 
Our current president has taken this country backwards for near 8 years now. Will the president elect do the same remains to be seen. I heard plenty of crude demeaning talk about women long before Trumps words became public and killing babies , to me, is a whole hell of a lot worse, so what was our choice.
 
I agree with you . Ever notice how you just seem to act and feel differently when you are dressed nicer ? It seems to elevate my mood and manner anyway . And I am a mechanic and farmer , so I do know how to get dirty ! I have no issue with people in their work clothes out and about, but raggedy old sweat pants and slippers to a social function or shopping is just lazy and slob-ish. I took an Alaskan Cruise about 10 years ago, and it was full of foreign people from all over. Those folks were all dressed nicely and seemed polite, while the Americans wore crap with lots of big bellies hanging out and acting entitled . I remember feeling a little ashamed for them.
 
True lol, but I would argue it shouldn't matter where you are , treating people with dignity should be universal. Too much to hope for, I know...
 
I believe our TV media has something to do with the rudeness. When programs switched from the Leave it to Beaver type message to the wise cracking kids and Dad is a fool. This has eroded politness in public.
 
[i:654c4848f0]..and this is Minnesota where we are supposedly known for being "nice". From poor and reckless drivers..[/i:654c4848f0]

I've never heard that. In fact, over here to your west, Minnesotans are known for just the opposite. Driver's Ed warns kids to look out for the MN tags, as those folks are more likely to make sudden, un-signalled lane changes or jam on the brakes without signalling or slowing first. (True enough, but maybe because they are from out of town and are more apt to be surprised and have to make those lane changes and stops). Often as not when someone cuts in line at the Walmart "self checkout" lanes, or runs 20+ items through the 12 item express lines in the grocery store, they load their purchases into a vehicle with an MN tag.
 
You can't stand the fact that the President elect has a decent, hard working and classy family and that he raised his children the right way. People like the President elect don't take guff from scumbags who have grown used to getting away with all manner of despicable behavior because they can hide behind political correctness to shield themselves from getting back what they give. Grifter trash like Billy Jeff and his stepford clone wife, who can be from here out be referred to as sore loser in chief, are the real reason for the dumbed down and slobbish sector of our society.
 
We haven't been out to see a movie in years. For the money and hassle we buy the DVD and own the
thing. Have a snack we want for way less than the theater, have intermission when we want etc.
 
We stopped at a Walmart on the north side of Rockford Ill. this afternoon long enough to get my wife some cold medicine. This was an older one we never been in before and the place was spotless with a super nice cashier, must of had an old school manager. A couple weeks ago I was in the local Farm/Fleet and spotted a probably 30 something couple with their jammies on with big fuzzy blue slippers at about 1pm, never thought I'd see that there, don't think the circus was in town either.
 
The young generation knows they
Are totally screwed , and the sad part
Is it's the greatest generation that has
Had political rule for over 60 years That
Wants to take the whole nation back to
The good ole days , like child labor, no
Living wage, no such thing as a 40 hour
Week, let alone social insecurity , labor
Laws If they can't get their own kids to
Work for next nothing , then the work
Gets exported,
 
It's all true I see it here too, the reality is every generation points the finger at the next and says they're doomed. Many of us were doomed by our grand parents generation now were saying the same to the next. They wouldn't survive in our generation and we wouldn't survive in theirs. Right or wrong it's jus the way it is. Social media electronic communication are all too easy ways to have a rude conversation for sure poor ethics for sure but we can't change it unfortunately, all we can do is try to teach them better and if they won't learn from the best example we can provide than we did our part and they make their own choices.
 
I can really get going on the way Walmart does business but for now all I will say is they bring out the worst people and the worst in people.
 
At work the other day a kid came in and preceded to tell me what to do. Now I'm not afraid of hard work but with the surgery lifting heavy weight above my shoulder is a little risky. When I told him I was on restrictions he snapped and got upset. I'm thinking that he was hoping I would do it and he wouldn't have to I'm not trying to get out of work but I don't want to drop something on someone either . But it was sad to see his reaction. When I was brought up you respected your elders and you did your share of the work without dumping it on someone else.
 
I agree 100%, but it dosent surprise me, it's the moral breakdown of society, or maybe it's the moral degradation of society! People just don't care about others anymore, just themselfs. I go into a store and hold the door for someone behind me or someone coming out and can't believe how happy they are and thank me. People seem to have lost common courtesy.
 
Why do people insist on thinking the military is a reform school? I suspect it's the people who have never been in the military.

In this technical era, the military has no more time to waste on slobs and miscreants than any other employer.
 
Seems to be a lot of bums in the world, and the only thing they are good at is reproducing, so not much hope for for the world from here on out.
 
Lot of these guys seem to be getting fired up, so I will tell a comical story!

This actually did happen to me. I was in town, and went to Walmart (mistake 1). When I came back out, I was walking down the isle to my truck, and there were two young guys SITTING on my tail gate SMOKING. (I left my gate UP) It took a minute for me to realize that these guys really had the ba!!'s to OPEN MY TAILGATE, and have a smoke on it! I pretend like I was going to walk by, and then at the last minute veered right towards them, and yelled quite loudly to "Get the f--- off my truck!". They both just were completely floored that I wasn't "cool" with them lighting up on my truck!??! They both kind of apologized, but they really didn't mean it. At least they didn't try to loose a fight with me. :p
 
Well said Goose. Few years ago when my 90 yr old Mother was no longer able to attend Sat. evening mass alone my sisters and I decided to take turns once a month taking Mother to mass. Four Sundays in month and 4 of us live near by. Well I had not been to church in years. Don't have anything against those that believe, I just am not one of them. You believe and do as you want and I will believe and do as I want. Anyway when it was my turn to take Mother I put on a nice shirt and dress pants. You know, when in Rome----. Wow was I surprised what Rome looks like today. The very few young people that were there were dressed in rags and they were only there because the're parents were with them so evidently their dress was OK with parents. If that wasn't bad enough you should have seen the lectors and ushers. Some of these people were standing up there in greasy jeans and dirty t-shirt with the beer slogan on them. I'm not saying you need to ware a 3 piece suit and I know many people don't even own one and that's OK but can't you at least where clean clothes? I don"t have a problem with jeans and t-shirt, some of them look quite nice but wash them up for church. You need to dress "job appropriate". We've discussed this before. Example: job interview. What do some of these young people think when showing up? But I too blame the parents/Grandparents. I think it started in the 70s. We lost all common sense for dress. They are making a "statement". To me it looks like a freak show. I am a product of the 50s and from early on Mother dressed us appropriate for the destination. Out of respect for my parents and those around me today I still dress appropriately. There, end of rant.
 
I agree with WD9GaryMN. Who born and raised these kids of today? They flunked parenting and don't know it. I know today even farm kids don't have chores like years ago but they need to know work ethics and respect, as in Aretha Franklin. If that didn't work, my old man had a razor strap and a buggy whip that would garner it.
 
At our local walmart, I'm amazed at how people always expect you to step out of their way. Whether or not I have a basket, I stay on "the right side of the road." Still people charge at you, expecting you to go out and around them, even if I have a cart, and they do not. Nowdays, I just stop dead in my tracks, to see if they will run into my cart or me.

The last of the greatest generation that was in power died a few years ago. The elder Bush hasn't been in office for years.

Care to show me exactly what companies are proposing child labor? Hasn't never been a living wage, you can look that up, the closest it's been was in the late 60's.

Hasn't been a 40 hour week in decades get over it you self entitled person.

They lie. 1. Companies have been outsourcing for over 100 years. 2. what happened in the last 5 decades is that other countries have become industrialized or recovered in the late 60's early 70's from WWII enough to make US companies compete.

Little things called facts go a long way. Try using them and not some other idiot's stolen rhetoric! Yea, Bernie stole that from the communist manifesto!

I must live in a different world. I go a lot of different places and people offer to open the door or let me go before them in a checkout line. But, I agree that there are a lot of rude people around. I raised 3 kids and it makes me very happy when people in my neighborhood tell me how polite and delightful my kids are. By the way my kids are 24-26-and 27. Raised in a semi-strict home where they had farm chores. Plus as they got older they had their own animals to take care of besides the other chores that had to be done. We have a lot of young families in our neighborhood and for the most part they are all very nice to be around. But, then most of us know each other or know of the families in our neck of the woods. When I run into a rude person, I politely ask them if they were born that or did they learn to be rude and impolite. Gets me the deer in the headlight look.
 
I always said kids don't respect anyone they don't fear,my father never ever laid a finger on me but when he roared I d@mn well listened. Now if you raise your voice to your children your abusive.
 
I've heard people here say "Minnesota nice". I always took it as I would a lady from Georgia sayin' "well, bless her heart".
 
I used to think along the same lines as you until my daughters wedding last summer. She went to college in Chicago, son in-law did too and is from there. Must of been around 75 kids they went to college with or worked with at the wedding, most about age 25 to 28, some from each coast and one from England. I really got a kick out of those kids, couple young architects, an attorney or two, a female veterinarian, pharmacists. These kids were fun and polite, wasn't a slob in the bunch, there's still hope for the country.

don't think being a slob has a political preference , let's not blame others who have no baring on the upbringing of people who have no respect for themselves or others. I'm sure our President Elect didn't teach the protesters who burned cars and destroyed others personal property, I'm sure that was paid for by the losers. Don't be a hypocrite and don't act like the ones you are complaining about.
 
I was at a chain store today. While waiting in line, the checker asked the couple in front of me if they were "Seniors" Qualifying them for a discount. They kinda stumbled in their answer. I steped up and said "Your still in High school"? They got their discount and everyone smiled. We all walked away happy
Tim in OR
 
Just a question???


Would it be considered "rude" to talk about "rude" people????LOL

adjective, ruder, rudest.
1.
discourteous or impolite, especially in a deliberate way:
a rude reply.
2.
without culture, learning, or refinement:
rude, illiterate peasants.
3.
rough in manners or behavior; unmannerly; uncouth.
 
I might be a rude person. About a month ago I stopped to help a guy with a flat tire. After his fourth Are you sure that is the correct way. I got back in my truck and left. Came back by an hour later he was still there. The rude people crowd grows larger every day.
 
What are you going to do . These days you can take the wife to the fanciest steak house and inside will be guys eating with their families wearing ball caps and work boots. { My dad always said wearing your work boots at night was the sign of a communist lol ].
 
(quoted from post at 20:18:02 11/29/16) They are just displaying behavior made OK by our President-elect. This is the new normal for those folks.

Nice projection there. He has always been a gentleman. It's the loony Left that has been acting out after the election.
 
(quoted from post at 20:34:18 11/29/16) When you go to walmart you see the worst of America, we only go there as a last resort! And it's best to go early in the morning, the low-lifes haven't gotten up yet.

Our local WallyWorld is clean with a good class of people shopping there. This is not big city, so that might be the difference. Still some small town values in place.
 
(quoted from post at 21:56:26 11/29/16) I think your going to be disappointed!

Coming from L o o n y Lib Land I'm not surprised you think this way. Didn't y'all elect a "pro" wrestler as your governor and a comic as your Senator? Pot, kettle, black. Let's wait to see what he does rather than judge on what he has said. So far I'm impressed with the Cabinet selections, maybe the swamp will get drained.

^^ Yup, this. One of my kids went to U of M in Minneapolis. Now, I realize it's next to the campus but about 20 minutes in Dinkytown and I was ready for the plane ride back to TX. Rudeness in rural TX seems to be a bit tempered knowing the guy you're being rude to prolly has a concealed weapon, and there's a certain kind of civility or else effect.
 
Well said Goose. Most people act like they look. No personal pride usually signals no personal discipline.
Most success in life is due to basic personal discipline. ie: learning a skill, going to work on time, and every day.
I include taking a shower, being clean and well groomed.
 
So true. Go to the best restaurant and the guy at the next table has his baseball cap on, grubby clothes, cell phone in hand and his face 3 inches off his plate as he shovels it in. Acts like it is his last meal, and someone is trying to steal it. Sadly, I've noticed several tractor and diesel logo caps among this group.

I have to disagree with your comment. rude people come in all shapes and sizes, good clothes and poor clothes alike. my story is about some cousins(distant) who were the most obnoxious and rude kids one could find. i am just glad i never have to rub shoulders with them!!
