Aaron:If you see an almost 80 year old woman going in the door and you hold it open you can be sure I will thank you. I always do. Maybe you expected to much of the younger generation. Politeness still exsists for some. I get run over by grocery carts when riding the handicapped carts in Walmart.

Don't allow other's poor behavior cause you to modify your own. I always hold the door, for anyone, and if they pass without a polite acknowledgement, I take an admittedly guilty pleasure in telling them, pleasantly, "You're welcome". Sometimes it even jogs their memory and they'll offer a belated "thank you".

I value common courtesy. My personal problem is I am on a constant high in this life. I use humor every chance I get...some like it some don't. I don't meet a stranger.

I don't feel disrespected when people don't reciprocate MY courtesy...however. I do get erked when I see teenage boys getting into the back of a van to play a video game while their mother loads the groceries!

A full grown man..berating a teenage girl for not refilling his drink fast enough in a restaurant, or walking by an elderly person knowing they may need help I want to say...

"Excuse me sir, I couldn't help but notice that you are a prime example of an %$!@ *%$# !@!$ is it genetic or did you achieve it with years of practice!"

Maybe I'm reading you wrong???!! You are writing about people treating people with respect, but when you arn't treated the way YOU want to be treated, you take revenge? Wow is that a good example for others showing what you expect in life? How in the world is that helping?? Two wrongs don't make anything better. It souhds like a bitter existence.
