So true, but sometimes so hard when our own lives are falling apart. Some days it seems like this pandemic has increased the casual rudeness and insensitivity around me. Is it wearing masks that makes people speak so sarcastically and glare at others?
Hi Brenda,
An interesting observation… For my part, I would say I haven’t noticed more rude / insensitive people, but I have noticed the one’s which are, are MUCH more rude than I remember seeing before all this shut-in life-style started. I guess it may be that you are out more than I am and therefore see more folks. Again, my observations are parking lot issues: cut-offs and not taking turns or allowing the other driver their turn. We were at Costco last week and I thought the two guys might come to blows in the parking lot. We were leaving, so I didn’t see if anything came of it.
As always, thanks for leaving a comment!
Kevin
