Do you think there’s has been a general decline in manners in society in recent years or have people always been rude, do you think people are more selfish and self absorbed now or have you not noticed a difference ?

Thank you for starting this thread Tame, it's something I've been thinking about a lot today.

Sadly people don't say please, let alone thank you which is really crushing. I always say thank you to express gratitude if it's genuine. I think it's nice to let people know you appreciate them and their actions.

If I walk across a zebra crossing I always thank the car waiting, rarely do people thank me when I’m driving and I’m waiting for them to cross, I don’t know how they can do it, it’s just basic manners.

Yes there is a decline. I think it’s been a steady decline but the more people have their face in their phone, forget how to interact politely or interact full stop, think they can say and do what they want without consequences then it’s unlikely to improve.

Manners cost nothing and there is no excuse for not using them. I was raised to be polite and respectful and that’s how I have raised my children so I’m ok

Do you know how many times i’ve been ignored when i’ve stopped to let others through the School Gate? Loads!

Do you know how many times people have barged past me in a rush to get to the School Gate first, or just walked straight into me and not said sorry? Loads!

Do you know how much this rudeness pisses me off? That’s right, loads!!

There has been a decline in manners. We live in a transient, self absorbed society where we don't interact with our neighbors and the wider society. It's easy to see the negative within society, especially with the media titillating us with antisocial behaviour. But in reality, society is still a cordial environment.

I few weeks ago I experimented with my own attitude and started to look out for acts of courtesy and found that on the whole, there was more acts of kindness than bad.

Of course, there is always going to be the idiot who cuts you up on the way to work, or the sales assistant who is rude, but I have decided not to let those people get to me for my own well-being and peace of mind.

I think it's definite and a by product of domished respect for others than self. A likely aspect of life that came from Thatchers UK and global neo-liberal emphasis rooted in exploitation at any cost. The Brazilian destruction of the Amazon rainforest at the moment, for immediate gains by a select few, destroying the home of native tribes, the unique environments there etc, is a manifestation of personal greed and disrespect for anything other than self.

We each choose how we engage with this shared world and the people and other species on it. It's unattractive to behave with disrespect and, as others say, the effort required to engage with other people to show your consideration,gratitude and even just acknowledgement that they have selflessly supported you, as their choice, requires very little.

What do you mean looking out for acts of courtesy? Like being more aware of when people do something nice?

Yes I think it's got worse. The internet and people treating others as disposable. Phones Instagram, Facebook, too busy with all that to talk to the people around them.

I'm lucky that where I work people are generally nice to each other. We're told that it's unusual in many workplaces now. Unusual in that it's noticeable how friendly and helpful our work people are.

The Karma police are having to do a recruitment drive in today’s society. People’s bad manners really do gripe us . Have got a thing if people just walk through a door with no regards to who is behind them saying in a sarcastic voice “ thank you for holding the door open very kind of you”

I haven't noticed much of a difference to be honest. I was taught good manners at school and by my family and I'm sure it's still taught the same now as it was then. The vast majority I come across dont say please or thank you, they dont hold doors for people or even indicate when driving for dear sake and it was much the same when I was younger. I continue to do so as it's how I was raised

I get the bus every night as the school is coming out, I'm middle aged, when the bus comes they push me out of the way,barge me, I nearly fell over many times. And they never give their seat up for the elderly.

Not the way, or manners I was taught .

The list is too long !

However, if you stick to what you’ve been taught and teach those younger than you the same, all is not lost... don’t get sucked into the “rude” world

Too many times during the day though I find myself sarcastically saying “your welcome” in a loud voice when I or my child has done a simple thing, eg hold the door open for someone and they don’t acknowledge it

Yep I think so. We've become more detached (technology) and entitled (the 'I want it now' mentality).

If something goes wrong a 'sorry' no longer suffices. We expect compensation.

I also remember saying 'good morning' in passing someone on the street in London. They looked at me like I was either below them to speak to or I was going to mug them.

I think there's a decline when I was young if on the bus you would get up if an elder needed a seat. If someone was struggling to cross the road you'd help them. you know the kind of thing...shovelling the snow off the elderly neighbour's path. I taught it my kids and whilst they aren't perfect they do have great manners...if a car stops I put my thumb up and smile. it costs nothing and goes a long way.

"Do you think there’s has been a general decline in manners in society in recent years or have people always been rude, do you think people are more selfish and self absorbed now or have you not noticed a difference ? "

They moaned about a decline in manners in the 15th century too. Also probably pretty much every century since then.

Ever been out with pals as a teenager and done noisy, daft or silly stuff, didja end up with someone moaning about your manners or attitude, clothes, speech (couth or uncouth). Was it someone you didn't know?

Were they old and grumpy?

That's you now

This is a bug bear of mine too!

If I hold the door open for some these days, I invariably find myself saying ‘ you’re welcome!’ Because there was no sign of ‘thank you’

The advent of contactless cards means people no longer have to exchange pleasantries at tills

Don’t get me started on people in queues/trains/buses sharing their conversation with everyone around them - not to mention GDPR regulations if it’s a business call!!!!

I haven't noticed any change. People have always been nice and bloody rude, and just about everything in between. I think old fashioned manners have changed, men no longer hold doors for women help us put on our coat, order food and pay for our meals. Gender norms changed a long time ago. I've always been polite and courteous but I recognise that some people weren't taught basic manners unfortunately.

I haven't noticed a difference.

I have noticed a huge tendency for people, particularly those of or approaching middle age, to think that things have gone down hill since 'their day' and that the younger generations are inferior.

It's so common it's almost a cliche. I'd advise all of us pushing 40+ to remember this and try and maintain a little self awareness before we start griping away...

This is a general observation of people, no mention of the younger generation being ruder, cause I don’t believe they are, I’d say the rudest and most self absorbed people I encounter are those in their 40’s.

Definitely a decline in manners.

Little things like saying “thank you” when I hold the door for someone, it’s rare it happens now, and I notice because I always say thank you.

I haven't read all the replies but when I think of my teenage son and his friends their manners are impeccable. I had 8 of them over on Thursday and they all thanked me for throwing them a party. Wanted to include me when I was happy to leave them be and all thanked me when leaving. Again one came over today and thanked me for letting her come over. Unfortunately there has always been and will always be bad manners but if you maintain your own manners and teach manners to children things will improve

If you can hold the door, blocking their way, until they give thanks, it typically interrupts their pig-headed attitude. Any issues, making it then clear that you are now going in the opposite direction, and don't move until they reverse, may be an option to remove the benefit of the door being held for them.

I think it’s different when it comes to online personally.

As in, I think people have a right not to reply to who they aren’t interested in without being considered “rude”.

However messages such as “Fancy a fuck” or “Let me spread your holes” (I received that one recently” could be considered not very polite!

There is definitely a rise in perceived rudeness in later generations but they would ot consider themselves to be rude. It's a function of lesser social coping mechanisms. The younger generation are used to interacting on devices mainly through text now, rather than verbally and non-verbally face to face. The environment has changed with those that have grown up with the internet and mobile devices always having been there, as opposed to those of us old enough to remember times before instant connectivity and communication.

The rudest people I encounter are the elderly. Whether their manners have declined over time or they never had them in the first place I don't know. The most polite are younger people. They're often the ones who are front line in the service industries, hospitality etc.

"I will no longer hold a food open. Fed up with scowling feminists...

How many times in life has a woman ( I'm assuming that's what you mean by scowling feminist) actually scowled at you for holding a door open?

Often

I actually don't believe that tbh "

Oh they do with almost a disdain in their eyes ..

The polite ones of us still say thankyou etc, and the rude ones...well!

I think it’s just the same but the ignorant ones are taking over.

Will always be courteous to whosoever deserves that recognition.

Manners are killed by the people who don't appreciate them

Hold a door and they either waltz through ignoring you or scowl ..
