UnCouth!

I think there are some people that just absolutely have no manners!! Uncouth is the word I use!

1. Imagine coming home one weekend from college during your freshman year to attend a fair. Your mother is talking to a friend of hers from high school...you approach. Your mom introduces you. You say, "Hello. Nice to meet you." The "friend" whom you've never met before. Well she remembers you from when you were a baby, says, "My! College is agreeing with you." (this in reference to the fact that she thinks you look like Elsie the moo cow!) I mean really! Are you serious?! Did you really just say that to someone you're just now actually meeting?

So when I just stare at her and don't respond. I'm the rude one! The audacity!

1. 2. Picture being out of town with a friend. You're surrounded by unfamilar settings and unfamiliar people. You're having a great time, but you are ready to go. It's 5 am. You catch a cab. You're seperating from the new people you've met through another mutual friend that met you. While you're saying your goodbyes the jack ass with you (friend) tries to bargain an already cheap cab ride home. The cab driver then refuses to take either of you home, because they believe you don't have your fare!

Now when you go off on the friend for the sheer embarrassment, you're bougie! Mortified!

1. 3. Think of a time you're attempting to enjoy lunch with your collegues or co-workers. Your lunch is divine, the conversation is going well. All of a sudden the butt munch sitting across from you blows their nose at the table! Seriously dude...you're going to just do that?! And keep going, without so much as an, "Excuse me."

So you don't eat in the faculty lounge anymore! You're anti-social!

1. 4. Suppose you are at a social function. A food tasting for a catering company, let's say. You've been invited with your significant other (or opposite sex friend) without any pre-requisites. When you arrive however; yes it's an event for the catering company, but also for florists, make-up artists, photographers and cake designers. You indulge in everything. That is, in fact, what you were invited to do. In doing this you are approached by a person whom you have never met and they ask you about your marital status. You oblige the conversation and say you're single. Next thing they say is (the person that doesn't know you) "Well what you waiting on. I'm trying to get you married off. Marriage is a beautiful thing, you know?!" In your mind you may think...no one asked you or mind your own business or even, lady who are you?

However, in an attempt to not be rude, you laugh it off and just say;"No. Please don't do that." All with a smile. No, no, no, no! You hurt her feelings! I mean what is that?!

1. 5. Don't ask me how much I pay for something.

1. 6. Matter of a fact don't ask me personal questions.

1. 7. Don't invite yourself places.

1. 8. Don't dig through someone's personal belongings.

I mean where do people get off?! Where are the manners? Who taught you social skills? What ever happened to the art of communication? I'm sure this will be one of those blog entries I continually upkeep :)
Happy Tuesday!
