Rude People......

        I think being rude is part of human nature.
        I try to avoid confrontations. but, rudeness is everywhere.
        It is very rude to mock the death of someone's mother.
        My mother had died on Halloween .. I went to pick up
        my subscription to Ghost at Ed's Comics a week later ..
        I had told Ed about my mom's passing. He said that his
        mother was dead too. I asked when did she die?
        He smirked, "I'm just fucking with you."
        I didn't get the gag and canceled my subscription.
        I never went back to that store.
     
        Ed apologized ... "Why would I be so rude?"

        My neighbor , Mr. Hughes, asked me if dad would sell the house.
        I said that dad had collapsed and was in the hospital.
        He remarked, "Well, then everything is up for grabs."
        I felt violent, but smiled, "Isn't it always?"
        I tried to avoid Mr. Hughes after this, but he kept questioning me.
        When dad's house was sold Mr. Hughes remarked,
        "Thank God." 

        I suppose he wasn't fond of my family.

        At a Home Depot, Casie Bova said to me,
        "Your mother should have gone up the chimney."
        I asked him what he meant by that.
        He said he didn't know. I made a complaint.
        It was odd to me he would be so hateful.
        . .. Home Depot has zero tolerance
        for harassment.

        Nothing was done about my written complaint.

        I don't believe I am overly sensitive.
        It's just common courtesy to not insult someone's dead mother.
        Unless your trying to start a fight.

        Just my two cents,
