Do some people not have the manners they were born with?

[StealthyKissBeartrayal]

Children need to be taught manners, but come on, what has taken the [cbiscuit]

I'm frequently amazed at lack of manners

Need more info... One word isn't really enough [cconfused]

Well yes.

Nobody is born with manners so if their parents failed in their duty to teach them...

Thank you, I accept this Unhelpful Pedantry Award...

But seriously, who's been a twat to you then?

no cos i'm going to get into trouble
this is a thread about a few threads, with a dose of DH thrown into the mix
basically I am [cangry] tonight and looking to vent

Ummm......

Short answer: Yes

owie.

mean.

And not very good manners either.

tsk.

Why is this in AIBU?

YABU, in case you were wondering.

I am very fond of manners.

They cost nowt and maketh the man.

I am genuinely puzzled why some people have such disregard for them.

You catch more flies with honey than vinegar.

There are so many bad mannered and grumpy farts around! I was in Next today with my two dc and this woman in the kids area kept flashing me dirty looks (I was looking at clothes in the same area as her and said 'oh sorry, excuse me to get a look at sizes)

The stupid grumpy cow! So I gave her a 'death stare', a 'what the fuck is your problem' look - she made me soooo mad!

Aggghhhh!

No they don't. Bunch of bastards.

Here you go

Or should that have been NO? I said YES as in "yes some people do not have the manners they were born with" but should it have been "no some people do not have the manners they were born with. sigh ~ grammatical crisis

I am reminded of an incident the other day in Tesco.

I'd gone in there with my 2 lads and my neice (grown up neice on husband's side). A woman was there in a scooter. All of a sudden she stops dead. So I stop with my trolley and my children. She starts to move backwards. So I move backwards. At no point has she or the 2 rather charming and oh so lovely women with her, said a word to me. I stand back while she reverses. She then says something to them and they laugh and one says "yes, they'll move "

Last time I checked, I wasn't bloody psychic! If you need to move back, have the bloody courtesy to say "excuse me" or even to thank me for moving back and giving room. But to get in my way, to have me step back to give room and THEN to make a smart arse comment about it, when I'm standing right there?

I gave them The Look. You know, the one that turns you to dust.

They were only saved from an eruption of Mount Gob by the fact that I had my children and my neice with me and Himself has banned me from fighting people in the supermarket any more

Hectate - you sound like my kind of person. Methinks you and I are cut from the same cloth

Love the 'look that turns em to dust'

I do that pretty well too and once made someone back away from me with it

Lol x

Hecate - do more than look - I hoist bosoms and sometimes tut. Occasionally a sarcastic "you're welcome" pops out

where you born in a barn, or something? shut that door behind you!

Hecate, I would indeed have moved again. forwards and driven into their legs. the said, sorry you didn't see me there and whizz off.

Lol at nutella! Me too

I am most polite to people but if they piss me off my inner chav comes out and that's it! I'm like a crazy banshee! [cshock]

No one is born with manners, manners are subjective to their society

you pedants are revolting

Your husband has banned you from fighting people in the supermarket, Hecate? How unreasonable of him! [cgrin]
