Is it just me, or are people just plain rude these days

Sounds like a great meal - yes it seems to me folks are getting ruder by the day. 

 

People should be illegal!

 

Happy Thanksgiving!  It is a shame your hospitality was turned down.  It sounds like a wonderful meal.

No good deed goes unpunished my friend.

As an example of this axiom - we offered a mother a Capri Sun for her little girl at a football game and the husband came by and asked if we had a problem with his wife.  She was upset because she thought we insinuated she wasn't caring for her child properly.  LOL  It was hot, the little girl was thirsty, we gave her a drink from our cooler.  We were wrong.  LOL

 

We take note when we invite people over....if they don't let us know anything and are a "no show"....3rd time is charm...no more invites!

Agree 100% ! We have the same policy. My wife helped organize a baby shower recently and it was "regrets only" .....my wife was appalled how many people never responded and didn't show. It's just modern manners , I guess.

 

The older I get the more I prefer the company of a good dog over people.......

 

Same here, friendship is something that needs to be worked on just like any good relationship, and you should never take it for granted, life is too short and I don't have enough time to share with my friends as is let a lone someone who keeps blowing me off.

I'm getting there buddy, lol

 

Amen!

I have been stuck with lots of left overs on many occasions because of last minute cancelations. So my neighbors usually get a ziplock back full of smoked meat goodness... lol. Needless to say none of my neighbors complain about smoke from my smoker!

 

I would say a big plus , my 5 dogs are my world.., my boys n girls., always happy and they don't growl at me.They like my Jerky too...hehehehe

 

I do the same thing,,after they no show, or dont at least call.. 3 strikes. BYE BYE ..

 

I'll second that. True friends are hard to come by.

 

If you want to see rude, take a seven year old cub scout selling popcorn at a store front and watch how rude people can be to a little boy.  I understand if you don't want none but this is a kid just starting to build some self esteem and be responsible by raising money to support his hobby of scouting.  Again nobody likes sales people but again common decency and manners people.  If my son weren't watching I would have smacked a few people that day.

 

Like I always tell my wife... "I just dont like people"... besides my family I only have one very good friend I would do anything for and maybe 3 other friends that I see a few times a year.  If they cant take the time to return the friendship then it isnt worth having.  And a big reason for this is people just dont know how to be true friends anymore.  They care more about their damn phone.  I dont even do the 3 chances anymore...1 strike and you are out.
