Not so TODAY. While driving, and I strive to only drive during non-rushed hours i.e. after 9:00 a.m. and home before 4:00 p.m. Even then the younger generation drive right up on our bumpers, as if they are going to force us to go faster. Even when there is another lane they can pass us or they will blow their horns aggressively. Some will yell out the window, drive it or park it! Now who died and made them god? As for me, I stay in my lane and drive speed limit, and refuse to get into road rage, as I pray before hitting the streets and pack lots of patience.
Then there are times I will call someone and after being on call for a brief time, they will say, I’m going to let you go now, and I am the one that made the call. Where are the etiquettes since I made the call, I am the one that terminate the call. Are they not teaching etiquettes any more in schools/homes, etc.? Woe is me!
Sometimes I will walk into a small store, very few customers, and the person operating cash register will be on the phone. They will attempt to check me out while remaining on the phone, at that point, I will say, oh no, please don’t, I’ll just want until you finish with your personal call. Then they will get off phone, laughing. I remind them, I chose to spend my money at this place, and at least I deserve their full attention. (I teach them as I go).
Then there are telemarketers that call and insist on you spending your money, and when I ask questions, they will say, I know nothing about that, and continue with their spill. They will hang up on you if you insist on answers. I won’t even mention the SCAMS senior citizens receives.
Somebody said a Nation is known by the way they treat their senior citizens, well, this Nation is in trouble or turn things around, one person at a time. I am committed to teaching one, reach one, and please help!!!
