Manners

[George Hincapie]

When did people become so ignorant? I'm getting fed up of letting people on or off the lift or in/out of a door or the Tube before me and receiving no acknowledgement. What's wrong with saying thanks?

Perhaps I am too polite for my own good and should just go full on Silverback everywhere.

It doesn't bother me tbh otherwise I'd get stressed and annoyed over someone who doesn't matter and certainly not worth loosing it for. I'm the same when driving too..

I absolutely get that. Sometimes I do shrug it off but when I am blatantly being polite and clearly waiting it's just frustrating. I'm trying to treat others how I would like to be treated and it rarely is acknowledged or reciprocated.

I've just been for coffee with a colleague in Canary Wharf and as the lift arrived at my floor two people from my own firm just tried to walk into the lift as I was trying to walk out and didn't stop forcing me to twist to avoid a collision

The Tube is an entire other conversation.

None of this should surprise me, I have commuted into CW for almost 7 years now.
