Is it just me or does it seem like in today's society and economic situation people are just getting more rude and nasty by the minute, thinking they can just say whatever and do whatever they want to anyone, anytime, screw the consequences? Perhaps people feel that's their god given and amendment right but I for one am tired of being "PC", playing to someone else's "feelings" so as not to "offend" them. That's whats wrong with the world today - everyone and everything is required to be silent out of fear of EEO, discrimination, racial profiling, etc. At this point I'm apt to say too damn bad - if you piss me off and are rude to me from the outset, you're going to get it back threefold.
Just yesterday I ran into this very instance with a lab tech after leaving our drs office for our son. Our son has a true phobia regarding needles....even a written file from his doctor that we carry - and this woman just ignored everything, every question and concern we had to ensure certain items were on-hand to make it easier for him - as written in the doctors orders. Six people in the waiting room and all stating the same thing - very rude lab tech from the moment they stepped in the door as well. Call the cops - get your supervisor - do what you have to do, but dont ever get up and move towards me in a threatening manner because that is a mistake, especially with my young son standing beside me. What is wrong with people?! Is simply stating to someone in a professional atmosphere, whose job it is to help the customer and work with people that they're being extremely rude for no reason cause to act like you're going to hit someone now a days? I guess many people do not realize that people do carry weapons legally and will use them to subdue or hold off someone if confronted in a hostile manner and be well within their rights of the law. It's called a concealed weapons permit for a reason - and I'll bet you a million dollars the owners hand can be on it faster than you can come across that counter. Is it really worth your life? Who knows anymore in today's society - one flip of the bird could get you shot (and has).
Been shopping lately? Talk about rude people - and not just the cashiers and managers - but actual consumers. I guess "Customer Service" is a thing of the past these days and people in general are crazy...who knows. Ever see 2 women fist fighting with babies in their carts at Best Buy over the last TV special sale price because they were afraid it was the last one? Yep - I've witnessed that firsthand. Insane madness. Really? All over a TV set that was on sale for $20 less than regular price?
When you call me whatever you feel you have a right to at any moment, I suppose I could lower myself to your standard, making sure when those poisonous words leave your mouth that you're prepared to receive the same in return, and not be shocked when I do or call me a racist. Or... I could do the christian thing, turn the other cheek, letting my morals, ethics, and convictions stand on their own merit and let others venom roll right past me. I have two choices and given lately whats been transpiring - I can conform or I can say Screw it. What type of person would that make me if I returned it to you but worse because of your perverse and inane lack of intelligence?
Hmmm.... tough decision. Two wrongs dont make a right but I for one, am tired of being someone else's punching bag just because they're having a bad day, year, decade. Your lack of moral compass, ethical fortitude, and temperance does not and will not constitute my understanding or compassion.
I fear the worst is yet to come.... what a pity.

And if I had said something similar in return to this woman regarding her race...then what? Pathetic. Goes for online as well - I guess people think that because they sit behind the veil of a computer screen its okay to say whatever they want to someone, but when its thrown back at them in the same manner - its not okay. Guess that old adage of class is bred not born applies. 
oh yeah... halo's abound! Hey...do I take that as an insult or..?? (me being like your neighbor...) Hmmm... LMAO! 
) See...thats what I mean..your example above proves my point. People these days just have that sense of entitlement to do or say whatever they want regardless of anything else. Makes me want to just *****slap some people sometimes - wouldnt that be a hoot? Just walk up to someone and slap the crap outta them for being so damn stupid and rude?
