What has ever happened to manners in this new time and age. It use to be that anyone would hold the door open for you especially if you were an elder not caring about gender. Now if someone holds the door open for you it's very very rare and most time they will walk through it before letting you in.
Mothers use to keep their children in check. Lets face it, it's not easy keeping a two legged octopus happy, but most Mom's managed to do it. Now adays, if a kid isn't screaming, pulling on someone else purse hair or clothing and sneaking a peak at your private parts in the bathroom from under the wall then their running like a freight train on a down hill grade through the store trying to take off with Mom saying over her shoulder ok that's nice Tommy as he runs the little old lady down. I took my Mom to Walmart the other day so she could get some things that she needed. While we were there Mom all but got her nose broken by a kid running by us to get to the door first and all but knocked her over. I called the kid down for it and all but got hit by his mom. Did I mention that both of their ages combined wouldn't even be half of mine. We were almost run over by an employee moving a merchandise cart over to the other side of the store and we were almost run over by a kid on a motor cart that had a cast on her leg, and this was all in the first ten minutes!!!!!
There use to be laws on the books.....I don't know if there are anymore or not that said that it was against the law to walk behind a car that was backing up or walk in front of a car that was moving forward unless the driving indicated such. You park anywhere in either a Walmart or a Kroger parking lot and not only do you have an adventure, but you have a disaster in the making. People walk everywhere and anywhere they want and if you look at them or say anything it's, "You talking to me!!! Just who do you think you are????" The sad part is that unless someone actually get hit by a car in a parking lot the police can't do anything about it because it's private property and without the owners permission....aka(the company)...their hands are tied.
I took her to McDonalds which is where she likes to go to get her coffee in the afternoons and these five hellions all under the age of ten were running the restaurant and climbing all over the chairs and booths. Did a manager call them down and ask the mother to rein the in???? Not only no but hell no!!! It's getting to the point that no one can go out and enjoy a meal any more anywhere.
