  • Why are people so rude?

    Another shopper and I accidentally bumped into each other in a very crowded mall (Xmas shopping) and I of course apologized. The response fom this elderly lady was "You a**hole". After that her adult son started threatening and abusing me - I was with my 8 year old daughter who was very upset by this. Where has common courtesy gone? Why is an apology not enough for some people? I always try and be polite, but get frustrated at the attitude of others. (Spleen vented - Merry Xmas all!)
