don't understand

i don't understand people.

people in restaurants.

people in stores.

they're rude. they're selfish. they seem to forget that the person interracting with them is, in fact, another human being.

that human being might be having a bad day. they could have just gotten really bad news. they could be sick. they could be stressed about a loved one. and they're just trying to get through the day.... and then these rude, selfish people show up.

and these rude, selfish people ignore the person in front of them. they speak down to them. they yell, they swear, they argue. and for what?

to get that appetizer comped because they waiter didn't fill the water glass fast enough...

to save the $1.03 on a tee shirt because they didn't read the sign correctly...

what happened to treating people with just a bit of decency?

i don't understand.

i guess it could be worse.

it could be someone you know treating you badly.

a friend, a family member... taking you for granted, using you, hurting you emotionally or even physically, and really just being rude and selfish.

i REALLY don't understand that.

i guess we have to hope that what goes around really does come back around... so they'll get what they deserve in the end...

but in the meantime i still don't understand.

I totally have to agree with you! People are just plain selfish and RUDE...at school, work, restaurants, stores, wherever.

I always try to give people a conscious benefit of the doubt or at least a fair chance--then I thoughen up on them.

Oh, poor Mel! :) Did you have a bad day at work, hunnie girl!? I have seen some crazy stuff and people who just act ridiculous, so I feel your pain...Plus I used to work at Carino's...lots of crazy stuff there too! I am so glad to catch up with you, you look beautiful, as always and it is nice to see your sweet face!

I agree with you some people are just flat out rude! But maybe those people are having bad days too...they are probably misplacing their anger or issues on whomever crosses their path that day! I miss you and hope that you know what a wonderful, loving, funny person you are and I wish I could see you more! Love you girl!
