Answer 1

Although I can't tell you why people are like this (the world just gets worse, that's how it's been going) I did want to add to your experience - I'm 39 weeks pregnant and desperate to get labor started - my hubby was going out to get some mats for his car so I decided to go along - I was walking down the isle, (better described as Waddling!!) you could see me from a mile away - it didn't stop at least 3 or 4 women from standing in the way or pushing through me as if I wasn't even there - One woman watched as I struggled to make it through (I'm 160 lbs, I'm not 300 but still) I wanted to give them all the finger - when I'm huffing and puffing down the isle the least you could do is move your stupid carriage!!!!!!! I hear ya... I definitely hear ya....

Answer 2

Were you at Walmart? That's how I feel almost every time I go to Walmart (and I have nothing against the store!). It's worse now that I'm pregnant because my patience is a little shorter than ususal. I actually have a good experience with this situation. A few weeks ago I was in my local grocery store parking lot and I was waiting for someone to back out of a parking space. I had my blinker on and I was waiting patiently. As I began to pull into the space a woman in a tiny white care came screaching around the corner and cut me off.. I was less that 3 inches from hitting her! I was so furious...I put my car in park and got out and started yelling. my friend in the passenger seat was SO embarassed! The woman just walked away and never looked at me. To be honest, if my friend hadn't been there I probably would have done something mean to her car..

Anyway, I know where you're coming from!

Answer 3

I totally understand what your saying I was in the store not but 2 weeks ago and some Jerk literally ran into my belly with his cart ( 33 weeks prego) hello like you couldn't see me ???? and nothing he just looked at me Not to mention ppl racing around the parking lot as if it were the autobon and I got cussed out for walking across the parking lot with my son
and it's not the first time nor that last I am sad to say
I also was taught manners and do unto others but ya know it is getting to the point, what for ?? no one cares anymore these days
godforbid I didn't hold the door for someone or didn't say thank you, or let an elderly person go ahead of me no less a pregnant women, please the only common courtesy I ever get is when I go to babies r us or wegmans and they have stork paking, makes me feel good that those stores actually consider pregnant women , but what does get me is when a person that is not pregnant has no little kids or is a man even and they park in those spots I write notes and leave them on there cars and tell them a few things ...lol lets not even talk about the jerks who park in handicapped parking for no god dang reason
ppl these days just have no regard for anyone else
Sadly manners have to the way side ... I try to be nice to ppl but it is getting harder and harder to do
seems you have to put blinders on and look out for your own, and that is the social decline in our nation
they should put manners classes back in our schools, but I am sure someone will have a problem like that too
can't win anymore.
sorry long winded but I think about this everyday

My friend is also pregnant (8 1/2 mths) and was just complaining to me about the same thing. When she was Christmas shopping she was in a store in line and someone kept shoving her and she looked at the woman and looked down at her HUGE belly and said "I'm sorry, I can't suck it in anymore than that!" The woman looked at her belly and then looked at her and just snorted in disgust, as if my friend had done something wrong by being pregnant out in public! Some people are just so completely self-absorbed they have no empathy or compassion for others at all! It's sickening. Especially during the Christmas season of goodwill towards others and all that...

Answer 5

I agree with you, I wonder sometimes about our society. When I lived in NYC pregnant, I couldn't even a get a sit on the bus, the only people who would give up their seat were black young woman and hispanic men. Now I live in Cleveland, its no better. I have concluded that it is ignorance and self centeredness. If a person does not respect themselves they cannot respect anyone else. And that goes for a lot of other important things. People spend so much time being busy, running, running keeping a jam pack schedule they never take the time to "Know thyself". They don't value their time, their relationships, or themselves. So basically you reflect to the world how you feel about yourself.

Answer 6

I totally feel ya on this one. A few years ago, when my son was a baby, I got WIC vouchers for him. At the store where I shopped, one cashier complained that I took too long because my vouchers weren't signed ahead of time. I reminded him of the rule that I cannot sign the vouchers until I redeem them. He then whined about how vouchers take too long. Not long after that, I was shopping for food with my food stamps. This was when our state (CA) was still using the paper coupons, and when I went to tear a few out, the same cashier yanked the whole book out of my hands and said that I was taking too long. I finally got fed up with him and told him "Look, if you're tired of customers taking too long, find another job". He was embarrased and didn't say a word. I don't know why some people like him are that way, but I guess some people like to take their bad days out on others.

Answer 7

I feel your pain. I can tell you raging pregnancy hormones have kicked in. It's even worse when you have a little baby who needs to hurry and get home for a feeding. When I was pregnant and huge, the people in the alltel store never even offered to give me their chair. The people in line at the bathroom never even offered to let me to go ahead. I think pregnant people, and people with newborns should be allowed to park in handicapped parking. It's just bull how people aren't more compassionate. But, there is nothing you can do about it. You know what they say. Focus on the things you can change, and not the things you can't.

Answer 8

Because many people in today's society are self-centered and either enjoy being rude, don't care, don't realize, or can't comprehend that they way they're acting is wrong. I know how you feel about the way some people act. Sometimes if someone is being really obnoxious and rude to me I will be rude right back to them. It's often the only thing they understand and I make sure they get the point that I will not tolerate their ********.

Answer 9

I hear you! I raised my 3 daughters and 1 son to have manors and they do use them, I think that somewhere between talking on the phone and doing their nails mothers today don't have time to cook real food wake up in the morning with the kids, play with them and or teach them manors, they just let them do as they want and let them run it is easier to give in than to say no and let them run than to keep an eye on them for these lazy parents, I have two beautiful grand daughters and would give my daughter what for if I even thought about being a poor excuse for a parent!

Answer 10

i know exactly where you are coming from. it happens like that in every grocery store/mall/department store that i have ever been in. people are just too much in a hurry to care. i dont know how many times ive had to move out of the way to keep from getting into a cart wreck with someone else. i try to not go to the stores when they are crowded just so i can avoid some of the rudeness and jerkiness of others.
