Sick of RUDE PEOPLE

What in the world ever happened to common courtesy? It surely isn't common any more. When someone said "thank you" the reply used to be "you're welcome." Now there IS no reply or even any kind or acknowledgement for the most part. Do people just not listen? Or don't they care enough to be bothered to respond? How did it get to this point? When did we all stop caring? Are we really all that self-centered and shallow?

I make a point of teaching my students - no, demanding of my students - courtesy towards others, including me. The fact that we are surprised by and notice basic courtesy is sad, but I try to compliment those who do/say the right things.
