A quotation from Judith Martin

Miss Manners is amazed at the number of otherwise gentle souls who turn nasty when they are driving. And they all suffer from the wonderful, ostrich-like delusion that they cannot be identified because they are safely inside their cars. It seems silly to her to have to say what good driving manners are. They are the same as the simplest, most obvious of non-driving manners, except that each person is surrounded by thousands of dollars of treacherous metal.

Judith Martin (b. 1938) American author, journalist, etiquette expert [a.k.a. Miss Manners]
“Miss Manners,” syndicated column (1981-03-29)

"Rudeness is the weak man's imitation of strength."

People in Dublin have definitely got ruder in the last few years. Getting a headache walking down O'Connell St from the amount of weed smoke and randos just bumping into you for no reason. Just saw a man in a Toyota Wankpanzer plough through a flock of seagulls and pigeons on Moore St for absolutely no reason apart from he couldn't wait 5 seconds. Totally unnecessary and rather gruesome.

It’s a frustrating experience for travelers to arrive at their gate only to be told “I’m sorry, you’ll have to check your bag.” Passengers are finding new, and not necessarily ethical, ways of getting to their seat first and, often, to the detriment of the rest of us. Ahead of a busy spring and summer of travel, USA Today’s Christopher Elliott reviews what is, and isn’t, allowed with it comes to boarding a flight early. https://flip.it/KY0oQX

In 1901, American surgeon John Harvey Gitcomb coined ‘Newyorkitis’ to describe a combination of short-sightedness, rudeness, and hotdog-like protuberance on the face. Surgery was the only remedy but he did like to jokingly prescribe ketchup and mustard to patients first.

I often see references to #SocialMedia like that:

Well, I never had that kind of experience with Twitter or with #Mastodon. Also hardly in web-forums.

Maybe many people do follow the wrong accounts?

Why the #Dutch always say what they mean - #BBCREEL

In my experience, this is absolutely spot-on, especially when dealing with people from the North of #Holland such as the #Frisians. They really tend to be quite #Honest and #Direct.
