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. |

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. |

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 |

"Working in general practice has never been more stressful tbh, people have never been more hostile"
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.  |

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. |
