What's happened to manners these days?
 

Earlier today I was in the checkout queue at the supermarket. It was a fairly long one as only one checkout seemed to be working. There I was, waiting my turn, when 3 youths walked straight to the front of the queue, pushed in, paid for their stuff and left. The lass on the till did nothing, she probably didn't want any trouble. The old couple at the front of the queue also did nothing, presumably for the same reason. When I realised what the youths had done I was bl**dy annoyed, as were the majority of the queue. Everyone was muttering under their breath. Is there really any need for behaviour like this, nobody likes queuing, but this was just bad manners.

very dodgy confronting youths like these as they may be 'methed up' and dont give a sh!t.. just let them get on with it and have a good laugh that their life is cr@p...

Lack of discipline in schools, I'll go with that for my pop at it.

Move to a less pikey area.

If a teenager did that round here and someone my age is likely to shove his head through the shop window

Heh. For better or for worse, I would've said something.. It really irks me when people don't have any common decency or are just downright rude.

That's why I go shopping with the misses

We have four boys between the ages of 25 & 18 and when they are all together thay can create chaos

They are not bad lads but after she has dealt with all their bickering for so long, no little toe rag will get away from her wrath..

..even if she is only five foot tall;)

I remember being in a little tecos, was just getting to the till and two young lads went under the queue rope to try and beat me to it. To this day I laugh at the fact that I think I was on auto pilot, but I treated them like the dogs....I just instantly pointed my finger at them and went, "SHHHTT" really sharp and loud while moving to block them.

They stopped immediately and just looked at me with "deer in the headlight eyes". I felt great, but if they'd done anything, I would have run....lol
