[QUOTE="Davy Crockett, post: 45241, member: 367"] I don't see lack of manners so much generation specific, Old people can sometimes be the worst. I was running late one day and standing in the check out line with 2 cases of bottled water when this jolly ol fart without asking jumps ahead of my cart and told me "I only have a couple of things". It didn't bother me because he only had 4 items and judging by his age I figured he was in a hurry too or needed to rest because he probably had more hard miles on his body walking to country school in the 30s than I have hard miles. He struck up a conversation about the weather and was so busy talking to me that he didn't notice it was his turn so I motioned him on and he struck up a conversation with clerk. Got his total and started counting change and that took him forever then when he was finished he stood right in my way and kept talking with the checkout girl. She finally walked around him and scanned my water and he walked away. He never did thank me for letting him in ahead of me , He just went and sat down on the bench and sat down and looked around. I got a chuckle out of it but if it had been a youngster it wouldn't have been amusing. [/QUOTE]
