Same here

I realize that playing "devil's advocate" with myself is a bit odd, but whatever.  There are probably other ways with dealing with rude people without resorting to the "Kill Bill" style of vindictiveness.  How else can I shove a rude person into reality without breaking my foot off in his butt? (Isn't that a lovely image?).  Hmmm....
I have had run-ins w/ girls in the dressing rooms, restrooms, you name it. And I've noticed that it's usually teenagers. They have this attitude of "I own the world, and you are just living in it". Like they are owed something. I went to a Varsity basketball game last night w/ my two preteen sons, and I was being bumped and pushed over out of my seat the whole time. By teen girls who didn't even have the courtesy to say excuse me. I was however, bumped by a teen boy and he said I'm sorry. Figure that one out?!?!?

What an image!! LOL However, I'm not sure even that would work for some people, as they are so oblivious to anything besides their own personal aura...it might be more painful for you than it's worth...

 

Unfortunately, the fact that we can even have this conversation is a barometer of how "rude and crude" things have gotten. I agree with a lot of what I've read so far; a lot of it can be traced to our entitlement, "me, me, me" mentality...I've often crystallized it as the "I drive a Lexus/Beamer/fancy SUV, I carry a tricked-out cell phone, and my sh*t doesn't stink" attitude.
