I do not like to be stared at.
Yes, I know that is my problem and I should not expect the rest of the world to conform to my issue. There, happy? Everytime you complain nowadays people want to tell you “maybe the issue is you and you should not expect the rest of society to adjust to your issues”. There I said it for you…can we continue?
However, there are some adults that will just look and look and look at you when you enter a room and it’s nonsense. There’s nothing new under the sun. I want to ask them, “Have you never seen a human being before?”
I am a dude. I imagine this is 1 million times worse for women.
Staring in public, waiting your turn in line, maintaining a normal talking volume in public. I think I learned all that in kindergarten or before. Some adults need to Billy Madison themselves and go back to kindergarten.
Yeah, people are not considerate nowadays. I can give you two examples:
This was in Tennessee (I do not live there now). I had a neighbor install a dog in his backyard. I say “install” because he got a dog, threw it in the backyard, never took it for walks, and spent no time with it. The dog would just bark and bark. When I complained he told me “you are just sensitive to loud noises”. Meanwhile, there were several nights when the dog would bark and wake us both up and I could hear him angrily yell at the dog to be quiet.
This was actually in Colorado. I was just passing through and camping in a National Forest. It was very peaceful until a dude came in and started blasting his car stereo while he was setting up his tent. I wasn’t even near him and was several sites away. I walked over and asked him if he could turn it down and it was instant asshole time. He started telling me about how all his friends were coming and it was going to get loud. And how it was my fault for coming to a popular camping spot and expecting silence.
So, you can’t reason with people. If someone is being rude they are the exact type who are not going to self-correct their rude behavior when pointed out. In fact, they will most likely double down on it and then insinuate that it is you that’s the actual problem.
Oof. Yeah 1 pisses me off so much. I love dogs. Dogs should be part of the pack not a yard ornament.
As for 2 I am sorry. Actually I guess that’s happens a lot here because I hear about it all the time. I wished people got training for outdoors etiquette.
You hit it on the head. Selfish assholes will be rude and then if challenged see it as your problem not theirs.
I imagine things have been like this for as long as humans have existed. Maybe longer. Maybe there were even more selfish Australopithecus assholes back in the day idk.
