Sorry I think I may have missed the global decision for people to stop using manners and courtesy and was wondering if anyone could fill me in?
Since when did NOT opening a door for a women with a baby stroller become the new norm.
Sorry I feel extra bitter the past while after an epidemic of douchery has infected Montreal.

Onterrible takes the cake for the rudest people in the country as a result of the high per capita douchery displayed in the GTA.
Maybe you didn't notice because you went to UCC or Saint Mike's :p

Or just move out of the city a bit. Its the same way in Vancouver but get out of the city and people are nice and polite.

Ontario isn't all that bad if you exclude Toronto. Montreal and Toronto seem to be trying to compete with New York for the world's biggest asshole award. If I ever get the chance I'll be going west rather than east.

I have been fighting back against Woman's Lib my entire life. It's how I was raised. I always open a door for a woman or carry the old lady who lives downstairs' groceries in for her.

I shall be westward bound within a few months. The upward mobility in the finance industry is extremely limited in Montreal and as mentioned before Toronto is just too douchy.

Toronto?
I walk in an elevator and say good afternoon to this lady: NO answer
I ask her if she is all right: no answer
I ask her if she is ignoring me or wearing headphones: she tell me that she didn't know that I was talking to her.
there wasn't anyone else in the elevator!
People here are not always rude per se but you can count that they will be cold!

people are ****ed. like the families of fat inbreds that are always walking abreast down the grocery aisles leaving you no room to get by. like WTF? I feel like shoulder checking them into the corn flakes and then Wandy stomping them when they act surprised about it.

What about fat people that walk on the middle of the side walk in winter and take up all the space, thus ensuring one has slowly trudge behind the human waste of existence for a block until the next corner?

I hate these people. It's like they actually try to be ignorant of those around them.

I remember about 25 years ago when I was young and had a little waist. I had been going running with a triple A hockey guy after my weight lifting workouts. He would sprint around an extra block while I slogged along trying to keep up with him.
There were 3 or 4 young girls about half a block away who started saying things like "Hey fatty!" , "Run Fatty Run". While I wasn't fat from a distance I guess I looked like it because I could barely keep my feet moving.
It gave me a sense of how cruel people are. I'm not a fan of obesity and it's certainly something that anyone with some commitment can fix. It doesn't give others the excuse to be abusive.

Well if somebody is overweight they should recognize this fact and pick a side of the sidewalk to go walk along. Give them credit for walking and not driving a scooter, but the inability to chose a lane is something shared also by women and groups of FOBs.

bluetooth has ruined common conversation in public. you never know who the **** someone is talking to. i think people that wear bluetooths and arent driving are the biggest douchebags on earth. you are not that important. take it off you ****ing loser. esp at the gym. lol what a ****ing joke.

The big one with manners for me is people that do not control their kids in restaurants or public. Ours sit and eat and have a conversation with us. There is no ****ing around, your there to enjoy a meal and the thing that pisses me off the most is when other kids run a muck and the parents do nothing and seem oblivious to it.
We were in Tony Romas having dinner here a while ago and there was this booth beside our table and their kids were running all over the place to the point of us not being able to even talk. I turned and looked at the dad and said "Make your kids sit down and shut the **** up or I am going to, I paid to be here and this is not your ****in dinning room"
His kids sat and ate, now why was that so hard to begin with???

Ignorance breeds ignorance.
I could go on for days how much I can't stand inconsiderate people, but truthfully I don't think the ol ticker can handle too much more stress. I'll just say I'm happy to not be living in Toronto. But really, it's everywhere. Perhaps not in the same density, but unfortunately ignorance and obliviousness doesn't seem to be limited geographically.
For instance, the shmuck beside me in the theater crinkling a plastic shopping bag throughout half the movie, or the dumb bitch periodically kicking my seat. But wait..... no, I said I wasn't going to get into it. :)
In conclusion, yeah.

Man i don't know if it's just different here on the island or what. I hear you guys but i just don't see it here. I always open doors for women and always get a smile in return, and i see other men doing it as well. Only once in all the time i've spent in theater's did i have an issue, some guy found it nessasary to talk loud dureing the movie, i turned around and told him to shut the F up and about a doz other people chimed in and it was over.
I think maybe we should build a big wall of China around the island :)

The rational explanation for better manners has to do with the island being a smaller community that affords less anonymity to be rude. In a city of 3million one can display rude behaviour to complete strangers and would never have to answer to that. In small towns douche bags are quickly discriminated against.
I bet as things get messier in cities there might be a flight to rural areas and towns. Maybe not so much in Canada, but when US cities start going bankrupt and stop paying the police not too many folks are going to want to stick around to see how the story ends.

No bluetooth at all that was just a wacko ****ing bitch
i actually think wearing a bluetooth makes you an AUTOMATIC asshole, douchebag, loser.
Unless you are driving, because it is law.
That, and those guys who wear earrings that stretch out their earlobes. I want to stick my finger in and just yank the ****ing clowns ear off. Why dont they just tattoo their face with "I never want to have a real job in my life"? Its so much more efficient.

i was at the rippers on my bday... saw this dbag walking around with a bluetooth in his left ear, while talking on a cell holding it up to his right...
i suppose he could have been a dealer with multiple phones, but still... wtf

wow thats low i can understand not holding a door for able people, but i draw the line at strollers and wheeled devices: carts, wheelchairs. **** regular people they can use the one armed row required to open the door. Isn't it interesting how manners spring up when its a really hot girl lol.

Aint no harm in treating a lady right.
I will fully admit I am more willing to help hot broads than fat ones, but like you mention the 1 arm row might be the only exercise the girl gets all day.

I think being in love with Ovie makes you the ULTIMATE asshole, douche, loser.
^^ is this your way of defending the blue tooth users or do you just like to talk shit?
p.s. its not love. its a man crush. thats different.

So true. The worst thing about the ear piece is the fact people have the blue tooth flash all the time. It must make them feel like a commando or something, either way, it`s one of the biggest douche bag devices of this era.

i see this a lot in the city here and am shcoked that when a older person gets on the LRT no one moves to give them a seat. WTF?? I was rasied to treat my elders with respect, or i got a hand up side the head lol. But it does kinda brighten the day when someone opens a door or something for you. I always say thank you after, but could also be i worked in retail enough that i tell the cashiers to have a good day hahaha.

another point of ire is young piss ants that intentionally saunter slowly across the street hindering traffic while an old lady whom doesn't move well to begin with does her best to scurry out of the way, embarrassed to be part of any disruption.

Respect for other people is at an all time low.
How about not dating total losers and lending them money so when these douchy guys don't repay you don't go asking Bowlcut to be "that guy" and threaten them to pay up.
Or better yet respect me by not asking for me to personally train you for free and not being all homo love (err "man crush") and touching me?
