Just a note.. the world does not stop for you.

I took the girls to subway today for lunch, and while we were sitting there eating a man walked in and started to order a sandwich. In the middle of his order he told the young man making his lunch to "hold on" then he proceeded to talk on his cell phone. Not only was he being rude to the man making his sandwich he was being rude to the line building up behind him. While he sat there on his phone with everybody waited... I shook my head in disgust and thought "what's wrong with people"

It's like techknowlagy has made us so rude and oblivious to other people around us. Did this man think that HE or his phone call was more important than the group of people standing there, or the young man that was waiting to make his sandwich. What ever happened to manners and being polite to people. Was that phone call SO important the it couldn't wait? NO it wasn't.... i heard him say "did you hang up on me or did I hang up on you??" WHAT?? WHAT?? seriously? Hang up the phone ass and get your order finished, then make your phone call. It seems like such a simple concept, one that even a child wouldn't need to be taught.

People thinking the world revolving around them doesn't have to be because of a cell phone. The other day I was driving down the road when the car in front of me practically STOPPED while looking at street signs.. SERIOUSLY?? Did this guy think that everybody around him, the cars behind him were less important than him missing his turn. It was the most aggravating thing!! Not to mention dangerous.

I wish people would just take time to think about those around them and how their actions at any given moment may effect others. Is that so hard?
