[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's everywhere now. Manners are a thing of the past. We hardly go out now because of the "anything goes and eff you if you don't like it" mentality. Parents letting their kids scream through a meal at a restaurant, talk through a performance, go without headphones in a closed shared space - there really seems to be no remedy for it except avoidance because even asking nicely for them to be quieter turns into an indignant confrontation. People don't care. Or at least enough don't to create an expectation of discomfort.[/quote]

NP. It's true. Last week, I witnessed a 10 year old sneeze right into the hot bar at the Friendship Heights Whole Foods. The mother was nearby and didn't bat an eye. The other day, same place, a grown woman must have touched every single avocado on display. I am a city kid, grew up in a condo, and love DC but manners and consideration for others have deteriorated so much that a growing part of me just wants to move to a ranch on Montana and disconnect from civilization.[/quote]
