[quote=Anonymous]Children do not come into this world with good or bad manners, it's up to their parents to teach them how to behave.

Everyone has stress but that does not justify screaming at anyone; breaking in line anywhere; flipping the bird at anytime one is harried; and, any other rude gesture.  If I let this behavior get to me then it ruins the rest of my day and that gives someone a lot of power over me and then that makes me even angrier.  I've learned to say a silent "God bless you" when I encounter rude manners.  This helps me a lot and maybe it will help others.

Nevertheless, yesterday, I witnessed something truly disgusting and I did not remain silent.

In the parking lot of a suburban Safeway, I was walking to my car and saw a woman changinng a dirty diaper with the child in a grocery cart.  That was bad enough but when she finished she wadded up baby wipes with dirty diaper and left it the cart.  I sputtered in a loud voice, "What on earth are you doing?  That is disgusting.  Safeway has a changng table in the ladies room."  Her response was, "Not that it is any of your business but I don't want to expose my child to the germs from other babies."

I returned to store and told a manager so they disinfect the cart and pointed her out to them.  Maybe I should have just gone on my own way but this was beyond the bounds of what I could tolerate.  What would any of you have done?
