    i dont know about your country/city, but over here it seems like politeness and good citizenship is not trendy anymore... It seems like the younger generation haven't learned how to say "thank you", "Please" or smiling or holding the door for the person behind you, etc.

    • True. I say "you're welcome" stern and aggressively, they get startled and look confused then say "uhh, uhh, thanks". No manners anymore.ArmandoEstrada
    • And I dont do it to get praise, just out of courtesy, but at least acknowledge the gesture.ArmandoEstrada
    • This is a tricky one - here in LDN I've encountered lots of [surprisingly] polite younglings - laterally, lots of ignant AF and mannerless oldlings. *shrugNairn
