xmas shopping today in brighton, and being a nice chap I always make sure I hold doors open for people, let elderly people in before me at cash points etc. just the decent thing etc.
Now i reckon I might have had 10 or so of these instances where I did this sort of thing today, and not one person said thankyou or even smiled at me. I even got a bit of scowl off one old dear.
so:
A)did I just have a bad day down the shops when everyone is just trying to get the xmas shopping over with
B)are old people being poisoned by the daily hate mail so much that they darn't talk to people under 40 wearing a hoody in case we commit some knife crime on them
C)or are the good old days of people being polite (of any generation) over.
D)or, am I being too sensitive?
gut feeling is it's a mixture of B and D. I hope.
