I'm really angry at selfish, self-centred people.....

I am ashamed to say that I have experimented by walking in a straight line and 99% of people don't move out your way. I'm with you Paddy's mum, I was always brought up to be considerate and to open doors for others, the amount of times that the favour hasn't been returned is considerable.

There are lots of reasons why and I think I know most of them. The important thing is to resist joining the ill-mannered majority or we'll all be going to hell in a hand-basket before you can say "knife"
