I think it depends on where you live! Bigger cities seem to be ruder than smaller ones!

Everyone is uptight because they are trying to cram too much into too little time. It's stress, and I doubt it is going to get any better. That doesn't mean they can't be nicer, because pretty much everyone is in the same boat. The only thing you can do is try to set an example. Maybe if you are kind and patient it will make someone's day easier, and because of that, they will be a little nicer to soemeone else.

People feed off other people's pain.  I suppose it's more relatable since everyone has felt that way at some point in their lives.

The good news: yeah we all feel this way.  The other good news: there's a way to get your way, get people to move their lazy asses, and not come off sounding rude, obnoxious, or like a psycho crank from hell.  All these answers have one thing in common: passive-aggressive hostility, bordering on actively aggressive hostility, with a more than a dash of sarcasm and verbal abuse thrown in as well. (Shoving a sausage up someone's vagina?  That's rape, and that's sick, sad and WRONG.)  \n\nI'd be surprised if anyone actually did what you wanted them to do if you address them so rudely and disrespectfully.  And there's a possibility you could get yourself beaten up or killed if you keep going the way you are going.  I suppose it all depends on whom you say this to as well.  Do you speak this way to a 300-lb leather-clad motorcycle dude, or an older man who's taller than you, or just to women and children and homeless guys down on their luck?  \n\nPeople since ancient times have been decrying "O tempora! O mores!" (O the times, o the behavior!)  We all want what we want when we want it, and not all of us are enlightened, sympathetic, empathetic or upstanding enough to think of ourselves and others at the same time.  Given that, it is up to the individual to uphold the social contract NO MATTER if other people do or not.  If you know to do good and don't do it, you are no better than the people you criticize.  In fact, by being rude, mean and obnoxious, you may be much worse than these people.  Everyone, after all, makes mistakes, has a bad day, forgets.  YOU make mistakes.  YOU have bad days.  YOU forget.  No one -- including you -- is perfect.\n\nI recommend The Paradoxical Commandments by Kent M. Keith.  The book is titled _Anyway_.  Some gems include: People are illogical, unreasonable and self-centered.  Love them anyway.  If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives.  Do good anyway.  If you are successful, you will win false friends and true enemies.  Succeed anyway.  The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow.  Do good anyway.  Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable.  Be honest and frank anyway.  \n\nAnd by the way, "frank" here doesn't mean honesty and telling it like it without tact or discretion or feeling for others.  It means being honest with sensitivity, compassion and empathy.\n\nLike my momma always told me, you can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar.  Peace, K

There are a lot of rude people out there.  I don't know if it is just distraction, everyone so busy and rushing and not paying attention.  Or is it just simply lack of being brought up with manners?  I would just ignore it and take the high road by being polite.  If everyone does this, the world will be a better place and maybe it will catch on.  In the end, they are the one that looks bad to anyone observing and you can feel good that you aren't them.

Yes I'm afraid that society as a whole is getting rudder in all cultures.  I find the more polite I am with people the better the response i get from them....so if this is the case then the polite people like you and i have the advantage.

Everyone is saying that these days and I feel the same.  It is not only because it is around the time of my birthday but there is a different feel to the Christmas season.  \n\nIt is a fact that people act nicer to one another and things they would have ignored or treated slightly during the rest of the year, they seem to become more attentive to and kinder to each other.  \n\nAs life rolls by, the peace appears to be less and less.  A phrase that is being beaten to a frazzle in these times is "There's is no more love!"  People are very much afraid to talk, be friendly and just live as before.  I don't exactly blame them - it's the times in which we live.  \n\nIt's just a shame, that's all!

Everyday I like to try a random act of kindness even if its just a smile to someone who looks down, my theory is that it will spread like email around the world alas in reality i believe the world is getting more selfish and less caring of others and this saddens me.

Actually, present scenario is changed into a fast moving World. No one has a little piece of patience and lack of feeling of care for any person, that's why, you faced such a rude behavior from peoples. This fast moving life made the people very irritating in every matter. They don't want to repeat anything, if they are not at the fault. They don't even think what other person feels about their behavior, becoz they thinks they are doing this normally, which is not right at all.
