GlockSpeed31 Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 I work for a snack food delivery company and work in many convience stores. This morning as I'm working in this store, I noticed a customer walking by, pulling his keys out of his pocket. By doing so, his keys pulls money out and it drops on the floor. He doesn't notice the dropped money, so I go over and pick it up and catch him at the door. I call out to him, "sir, you dropped this". He turns around and looks at the money and then looks at me with a look like I stole it out of his pocket. He takes the money, shoves it back in his pocket and turns and leaves without saying a word. Makes me regret giving it back, but I am a FIRM believer in Karma. By the way, the dropped money was a $100.00 bill. Oh well, maybe good Karma will visit me tonight by winning something in the Powerball drawing. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paraman1 Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 I tend to be very "Please" and "Thank You" oriented myself having been raised by a women who expected me to have good manners . It bothers me greatly when I see stuff like you mentioned . I also hate the fact that because I am polite people try and run rough shod over me mistaking "Politeness" for "Weakness" . Our society seems to think that being a ass is cool . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Gundry Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 Similar incident at a car show yesterday - my food was $7, so I hand her a $10. She hands me back $7. I say 'hang on a sec' and hand it back to her and she gives me the correct change but doesn't say a word Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cy Soto Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 He takes the money, shoves it back in his pocket and turns and leaves without saying a word. Good thing that people like this are a minority. Nonetheless having to cross paths with them, leaves a sour taste in my mouth. YOU DID WELL!! GlockSpeed, I admire your honesty, allow me to be the one who says "thank you". +1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benos Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 I hate that a lack of basic politeness is slowly becoming the norm. It's sad. be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CSEMARTIN Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 I've used the line from Nick the computer guy on SNL...."oh by the way.....you're welcome!" quite a few times on people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiny Warrior Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 I can't understand why when you say "thank you" to someone, they say "uh huh". I've noticed (along with my family & friends) that this seems to be common in the U.S. Whats up with that? I also believe in "what goes around comes around". I was given too much money back when purchasing something recently & gave it back. She did say thank you, which was nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lived in Philly last summer, and I experienced a serious culture shock at how rude people were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use this myself and it does kick some sense in people sometimes. It's sad that politeness and common courtesy are becoming instinct in our society.

Bob DuBois Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 A few years back found a Day Planner in the road, stopped and picked it up, full of credit cards and business information. When I got to work called the owner and told him where to pick it up. When he arrived he acted mad that I had it and stormed out cussing. I was left shaking my head............. Thank You is a simple statement that goes a long way in my book. I'll always try and Thank the RO/SO and the score keeper on a stage, they take the extra effort.

I wouldn't say people in Michigan are rude, I'm just used to people saying "your welcome" I guess, haha. It's just a lazy form of "You're welcome" in that context... It is what it is - just a difference in dialect in the same basic language... You may also hear folks say "No problem" or "No worries" in the same context... Rude people suck, period. In Michael's situation, it'd be hard not to think I should've just kept the damn Franklin, just to teach the rude bastard a lesson. I'm just glad there are honest people in the world who would return cash of any size to someone they saw drop it... Kudos to you, Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Einstein Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Whenever I hold the door for someone carrying things who does not say thank you, I love it when there is a second door to go through, and I try to let the door crack them in the chops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recently moved to Michigan from Tennessee and there is a noticeable difference in manners. I'm 25 and it seems a large percentage of people my age up here are very rude.
