But, I do not think
It is due to new people.  Sadly, I estimate that it is due to the
General decline in civility and consideration.  If you ever watch
The show "Airline" on A&E and see how vicious and hysterical people
Get in airports when they get to the check in desk too late, when
Weather leads to flight delays, when they are removed from flights
Due to aggressive and obnoxious behavior, etc., you are reminded
That basic good manners and respect for others have sadly eroded.
On Airline, the infuriated, out of control customers tend to resort
To attacks on low level airline workers who are obviously not the
Parties responsible for their problems.

From my own experience, I can report that irrational, nasty
Acts in fits of parking rage are not new in our area.

Back in 1997, I needed to have my front sidewalk replaced. I put
Up a barrier in front of the sidewalk on the street, since the
Guy doing the job would only put in the new sidewalk if he could
Park his truck right next to the area he was working on. He delayed
Coming for several days, during which time I kept the combination
Of trash cans and boards, with a sign warning about the impending
Sidewalk construction so people would understand why I had a Barrier in what ordinarily would be a parking space. [...]



I love how ann's messages capitalize the first letter of each new line. like it's poetry. or maybe there's a secret anagrammed message, if you read down the left edge...
