What is it with people lately?

The self entitlement and rudeness is unbearable. Seen a guy in his 40's speaking to a young girl who was about 16 like shit today in starbucks , not too sure on the reason but even so doesn't justify it.

In the west.

I work with the public and I put up with a lot of shite.

I saw an older woman, much older than me, give a young guy in Costa a lot of snash when he told her how much here tea and coffee would cost. She had her finger up at the screen and she was also shouting at him.

This is why I love being an engineer. If I get spoken to like shit, I pack the tools, shimmy out the door and rev that engine and it’s ‘see ya’. But honestly no need for the arrogant approach from people customers.

I work offshore so thankfully I don't need to deal with anyone, seems to get worse and worse everytime I come home. I don't think I would be able to hold my tounge if someone spoke to me like that , customers always right? Pftt

Few months back a guy in his 70s gave me a bollocking for closing my van doors, claimed I was disturbing his peace. He pointed his walking stick and threatened to shove the van up my arse and added ‘you’re lucky I’m not younger’. Awkward trip to A&E avoided lol.

Me too...although luckily i've not had to deal with it- mainly because i refuse to defend any shoddyness caused by our company and most clients are actually nice people that just want their stuff to work

Perhaps it's the mass stress people are under?

It's no excuse, but some people must be close to tipping point?

I think it's been getting worse for a few years now, but I can see that the rudeness around me has accelerated recently.

Working in an a and e department is awful especially Fridays and Saturdays. Spat at, punched and kicked and verbally abused. Supposed to have zero tolerance but doesn't get used enough

I think a lot of us are way too impatient these days.

I cant be guilty of this myself i will admit.

We want serving quickly, we expect instant gratification.

I'd probably end up laughing in their face, I don't understand why some people get so upset over nothing

The general standard of public behaviour has been visibly deteriorating, and will fall even further as the cost of living crisis kicks in, and people become more stressed.

I was in a local shop this week where a guy was openly attacking customers he had to be pinned to the ground and arrested.

A guy assaulted me in the pavement this week; I sawi coming and was mildly amused at his hostility.

The worst is yet to come.

My Moto is to treat others how you would like to be treated yourself. Maybe old fashion but everyone had a better experience.

There is no excusing bad behaviour.

But it is most certainly on the increase; and visibly so-I see it every day. Nastiness, abuse, impatience, shoving, etc.

I don't see what people get out of being nasty. I just get stressed and I would rather avoid it. There's enough stress out there for the person giving the abuse as well as recieving it

It’s getting worse isn’t it? I try to be polite at all times but sometimes I think I really don’t get paid enough to deal with this abuse when I genuinely just want to help everyone, that’s why I do my job.

So horrible to see if people aren’t happy doesn’t need to be dealt with in a rude manner. Says more about the person moaning than the service I feel

I've never dealt directly with the enduser as I've always supplied different trades and it's funny how noticeable the different mindsets are.

I supplied the licensed trade for more than 20 years and then retail for 6 and now hospitality.

At least half of those I dealt with in the licensed trade were people I would never want to meet or speak to if I didn't have to as they were the most arrogant entitled arseholes.

Retailers were slightly better but there were a few who treated their staff badly and looked down on deliverymen.

The vast majority of those I deal with in hospitality are very appreciative and approachable.
