I hate rudeness. Can't stand it. So I pushed the button for the 3rd floor and stepped back. I'm sure he assumed that I pushed the button for the 2nd floor and he was mightily pissed off when we arrived at the 3rd floor. He said, "I said 2!". I looked at him and said "Next time try "Please"."

This kind of crap is getting more and more common. Last week I was going into a restaurant and held the door open for two couples. No one said "thanks". Not a word. They acted like I was their f*cking door man. I'm so tired of this.

One more reason why I like living in the midwest. Outside of Chicago, "please" and "thank you" are compulsory.
