My Petty Annoyances is the lack of common manners in this country.
I grew up as a military brat (Air force) and the one thing that my mother ingrained in me as a child is ‘common courtesy” such as, ‘please’, ‘thank-you’…and so on. So, no matter where we lived...we would not be known as those "Ugly Americans".
I find it difficult to believe that these basics are becoming extinct! Yesterday, I popped into the Grocery store to pick up some milk and bread. As the teller handed me my changed I said, ‘thank-you.’ All I got in return was a blank stare…as she continued to chew her gum like a cow.
Oh…the youth of American….be afraid people…be very afraid!!!
