Before I start, I would like to begin with I'm generalize and if you take offense to this then I'm talking to you.
People nowadays they don't have respect, they tend to forget their morals. And this are things I see:

You hold the door for people they don't say thank you, you sneeze no bless you. But when I learned to understand is that sometimes people don't say "Bless you" because of religious reasons.
You go on the train, people put their bag on the seats and get anger when you tell them to move it.
You go on the bus, you don't have the 2 cents to throw in the machine, the bus driver argues with you.
You see teenagers, making out on the train, cursing at adults and acting rude.
Not to mention, people spitting on the grounds.
You step on someone shoes by accident (Esp, their Nikes & Jordans), "Oh No This B!tch Didn't Just Step on My Shoes"..... "Hold This Cause This B!tch Didn't", You say sorry but instead of the peace you end up fighting.

These are the things I see on my daily days.

It's not even manners I'm concerned about. It's basic respect that a lot of people lack.Some people are just very trifling, but you can't really help it.

I never thank cashiers or bus drivers. I don't think I should have to thank somebody for doing a job that they're getting paid to do. If they were exceptionally nice, or bagged my groceries how I like them bagged, etc, I'll thank them, but honestly, I thank people for doing favors and doing more than what is expected of them, not for simply doing their job.

I always say "Thank You" always, it's a habit.
Like someone would hit me by accident with their bag and I would say sorry. LOL.

My school is the capital of rudeness. People hold the doors for their friends, and then when someone comes that they're not fond of, they decide move their foot from the door and let it slam in your face. And then when you're trying to get to your class, some people decide to stand in the middle of the hallway, unmoving and talking to their friends. This is extremely annoying because I could be standing the back of them waiting for them to move so I won't be tardy. People seem very slow in my school.

I do the same, even though it isn't my fault. And most of the time the person who hits me doesn't even say sorry.

I really hate it when people spit on the ground. Because the wind blows in different directions and sometimes the spit flows with the wind. And if you're standing in the exact spot the spit if flowing... I think you know what happens.

See, I don't get that. Sure it's their job but it doesn't hurt to be nice. Isn't it awkward buying groceries without thanking the cashier? What do you say when they hand you the receipt? I think thanking someone for doing their job kind of falls under the same social rules as tipping. You tip unless the service is really bad and you are trying to make a point.

Out of curiousity, you ever worked in retail or customer service?

lol Me too. I used to have a horrible habit of apologizing too much. I used to drive people crazy, saying "Sorry" all the time. When I stayed with my aunt she actually started paying me a dollar for every day I didn't apologize.

I'm much better than I used to be but I can't say my aunt's technique is what broke the habit.

No one thanks me for doing my job. I mean, who thanks people for doing what they're supposed to do?
