No, you're right to be upset. At the very least, common courtesy requires that someone appear contrite after bumping into someone else. They should have apologized and asked if you were okay.

My take on it is that idiots VASTLY outnumber us. If I got upset and snapped at every idiot I come across I'd have a series of bleeding ulcers by now.

Ohhhh truer words were never spoken. The idiots abound.. When I first got married I told my wife that 85% of the people were idiots. She told me I was a narrow minded republican (She is a Democrat) Well 26 years later she said the number was 90%

Maybe b/c she started hanging out with more republicans after marrying you

Sorry Rich, I couldn't resist. This was only meant as a joke since I realized a long time ago that the political system doesn't matter. What does matter is the system of inherent moral values in the society.

Actually most of our friends are Democrats. You know, you acquire your wifes friends.. But you are right about the political system. A pig is a pig no matter what it looks like.

I'm shocked! Dumbfounded! Rich...you have a job??? Unfortunately, we live in a "me" society. And worse yet, we allow it. Just like traditional shaving, so often, proper manners are not taught in the home.

Being that I'm an employee of the USPS I can say with some authority that the manners that were mailed to New York were most likely missent to Biloxi where they were delivered to the mailbox of a vacant apartment and are now buried under several week's worth of advertising(junk)mail. However, I believe the saying about how an armed society is a polite society and so IMHO every child born here in the U.S. should, before leaving the hospital, be issued an Uzi with ten high capacity magazines, one thousand rounds of ammunition and a pair of hand grenades. Finding a babysitter might become quite a challenge.

You are so right Randy. Proper manners are not taught in most homes. I have made an issue of that in my house though.
Oh by the way my boss is surprised too.

I guess thats why I never made friends with my wifes friends lol. I would have been very pissed off and dont know what I would have done, but probably I would have been bitching to my friends after the fact lol!

Josh,

That is probably true for most people. I personally find that people who consider themselves liberals are less likely to listen to your opinion. I consider myself conservative yet I enjoy listening to other peoples point of view. So are the conservatives really the liberals and the liberals really the conservatives. Hummm
