2004-03-08 | COMMON UNCOURTESY

Sometimes I wonder why I'm nice.

I mean I know why I'm nice...I guess it's just who I am and it has something to do with the way I was raised and the brain I was donated, and the compassion that was bestowed upon me.

But there are certain days that I wonder why I continue to stay this way.

With the way people respond to me, it's a wonder I'm still the way I am.

Why am I still courteous?

Maybe when I ask a co-worker to do something for me I shouldn't say "could you do me a favor" and/or "please". I mean if you're going to give me that stupid look and that fucking attitude...

When I go to the drive through maybe I shouldn't say thank you before I drive thru or when you give me my food. I mean the way you practically throw the food in my lap and look at me with disgust before I drive off....

Maybe when you do something for me or give me something I shouldn't say "thank you" or "I really appreciate it", if you're gonna look at me with that "whatever..it's not even that big of a deal...why are you thanking me?" type of look...

Why do I waste my time saying hello to people and goodbye to people and "have a good day" to people, and "how are you today" to people, when they're just gonna walk by me as if I was a peice of trash on the ground that they were to lazy to pick up so they acted like they didn't see it.

I see nice people change all the time right in front of me. Maybe they've experienced similar things. Maybe they haven't experienced enough of me. Maybe they think I'm not this nice. Maybe they don't even think twice. Maybe they were assholes all along. Maybe they think I'm coming on too strong.

Anyway.

Why can't people just be nice? I had 2 customers rudely hang up on me in the last 2 days. Who are these people? Who's too busy to say goodbye before they hang up? What ever happened to common courtesy. Now it's been replaced by common rudeness.

The cool thing about it being so common for people to not give a shit about people nowdays is that it makes me feel that much better about myself for not being that way.

I don't know what else to say about the subject. I could say a million things but people are too busy and careless to read all there is to say about it. I'd be surprised if half of you even made it this far.

So I'll end it with a classic quote....

"In my life, why do I give valuable time, to people who don't care if I live or I die?; In my life, why do I smile at people who I'd much rather kick in the eye?
