I came to the realization yesterday that people are rude. I pushed the little blue button in my truck for directions and a very pleasant woman answered. The "navigation adviser" people are almost always nice, but they get paid to be that way so it doesn't count. Anyway, I always try to be really nice to them, since I'm sure that a lot of people are not. The woman seemed genuinely surprised that I said thank you and told her to have a nice day. It reminded me of a day in high school when i stepped in front of a girl in my class to open the door for her. She stopped and told me rather haughtily that she was very capable of opening her own doors. I don't mean to sound egotistical, but what the hell happened to good manners? Be nice to people! You usually feel good about and it makes both your days better.
