An informal canvass of travel industry workers with support from The Pew Charitable Trusts, and an online poll of passengers conducted by Travelocity together suggest that stressful travel conditions, a general decline in values and parents who don't control their children are sore spots for Americans on the move. Nearly two-thirds of Travelocity passengers polled say rudeness is a serious problem in travel these days, and half of travelers say rudeness is a major cause of stress.

Aggravating Circumstances: A Status Report on Rudeness in America
Most Americans say rudeness and disrespect are a serious problem in society and that the situation is getting worse. Four in 10 are willing to accept some of the blame themselves. Nearly half say they have walked out of a store because of bad service, although two-thirds say they rarely complain. While three-quarters say people became more thoughtful and caring to each other after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, only about one-third say the feeling will last.

Just how do we expect things to get better in this world when we have people in our police dept., government, and social agencies, that are some of the rudest people in this world ! They are to be here for our society to serve and protect but probably 85% of them are as I said before the" rudest" of all in our American society ! If you don't like your jobs get out !!
