Is it normal I cannot even be in the same room as someone who chews with their mouth open, slurps their food, cuts into the dish with a screeching knife? And why I am the asshole for asking them to correct them?
I agree 100%, and you will just see it get worse and worse as time goes on. I was brought up that if someone held a door open for me you say "thank you" to that person, and if you hold the door open you can expect a "thank you".
People dont bother with it anymore. I find myself desensitized to most things in society anymore, how can you not be?
Everywhere you look anymore people are lower and lower class then what they were 20 years before.
I couldn't agree more with you on this sir.
I think the same way. I just notice too many impolite people these days.
I saw on the news about a year ago where they were doing a study on how people say the english people over in England are so polite and how they say Americans aren't. Well they had this guy out in the streets of london drop a bunch of boxes and nobody helped him. Then he did the same thing in the streets of New York and instantly a few people came over to help him. I thought that was rather interesting.
I pity those people whose parents were too lazy to teach them basic manners. Sometimes it is not their fault, it's just their ignorance as they've never been taught.
Ugh...
My cousin is a fat little white boy with a shit ton of money and I hate eating around him because he chews with his mouth open and gets food and drool all over his face and hands and makes this nasty "hyunnngghhh hyeeeee" breathing/swallowing sound as he eats. He eats really fast as if it is his first meal in days and just throws the food everywhere and runs back to the XBox and his parents don't ever say anything about it.
He also scratches his nuts wherever and whenever he wants, and digs in his ass crack and does all of these other nasty things (he is 15) and his parents don't say shit about it. That kid is nasty as fuck and has a hard time making friends for that reason.
Some people are just not taught any better.
I understand if you're at a restaurant or visiting someone but at home I want to relax and enjoy myself. If I accidentally scrape my plate so be it I'm not going to watch my every move.
I think that everyone develops bad habits, in one respect or another. It is often difficult to recognize our own bad habits.
It is unfortunate that we often call eachother 'names'. Please bear in mind that by acknowledging this, you are reinforcing this type of behaviour.
I think it's always good to be polite. I don't like any kind of bad manners whether it be with food or with words.
You're not an asshole for telling them to correct themselves. They should be put in their places. It's a shame that their parents probably didn't teach them manners.
