When trying to navigate my big, toddler occupied shopping cart I've had so many people cut in front of me, block aisles, cross right in front of me without even a LOOK that says "excuse me". This is a pet peeve of mine as well and so many people these days just seem so absent minded. They'll mingle with friends chatting in the middle of a doorway or a sidewalk - and here I come trying to get through with my stroller and I stand waiting - assuming someone will notice me and move and apologize. But no. Most times, unfortunately usually I have to speak up and say "Pardon me! Can I get through?" As if I'M the one who needs excusing.<br /><br />Sigh... you've gotten me worked up! <br />;-)Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13093962932172006220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7647053364103621051.post-9064874944797060302010-02-27T20:13:02.293-07:002010-02-27T20:13:02.293-07:00I have flown a lot both in Australia, the US and C...I have flown a lot both in Australia, the US and Canada as well as around Malaysia, Thailand and Papua New Guinea. I absolutely dislike flying now (I think I'm cured for life) mainly through people's bad manners and inconsiderate behaviour. Mind you I have met some lovely people too but I've seen too much "me first" behaviour which has spoilt many journeys for me.<br /><br />The funny thing is when you all meet up again at the luggage carousel; all waiting for your luggage. You often end up standing right next to the person who trod on your heels or hit you with their overhead luggage in their rush to disembark. <br /><br />OK, so these 'bright sparks' may not have flown much but I bet the majority of them have otherwise why would one of the big selling perks of flying first class be one of the first to get off an aeroplane? <br /><br />Anyway, now I always ask for a window seat which has the added advantage of a view and being able to sit and wait while the herd leaves. <br /><br />Manners~ I found some of the most polite people in some of the least expected places. PNG was one of the politest places I have visited and the other wonderful place was Thailand and Malaysia. <br /><br />Australia is largely still pretty well mannered and those who aren't soon get pulled up for bad behaviour.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13820428357309458561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7647053364103621051.post-2447513585846205782010-02-22T14:25:08.751-07:002010-02-22T14:25:08.751-07:00TJ and I think that people just plain lose their m...TJ and I think that people just plain lose their minds at the airport. They simply don't think clearly! Also, its good to remember that most people at the airport don't fly a lot. So maybe its just that they just don't know! Combine the ignorance with the foggy thinking and its a recipe for disaster!Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09465934365123564513noreply@blogger.com
