I am just going to become a shut in - people suck.
Was it the bus driver who screamed at an old lady and called her "lazy" because she was using a walker, or was it the cop who screamed at me and threatned me with arrest when I politely asked where traffic was being rerouted? I think it is the fact that every time I am out, someone makes me feel like shit.

No wonder the planet is in turmoil - every where you turn, people are acting like complete assholes to each other. I am done being nice.

2. Teach people to be nice. After all, nobody taught them when they were kids...
"boys will be boys" and the usual tolerated gibber...

Do NOT be done with 'being nice'. You'll only add to the problem.

3. Just common courtesy would be nice.
I am always polite. It takes less emotional energy than being a bitch.

5. I guess that means you will not do anything to help out a neighbor so you suck?
why not set an example rather than adding to the suckiness?
