Rudeness then Politeness



I came across these 'fun facts', thought you would find them entertaining!

Usually I write about positive encounters while out and about, but last week at the mall, in the midday, it seemed more crowded than usual, this young mom was pushing her kid in a stroller, barreling towards me.  Or maybe I was walking towards her.  She said 'why won't you move'.  I was wondering the same as I was forced to move aside.  I said 'that's really rude'.  She continued on and  replied 'you're rude'.  As she turned the corner in the direction of the family washroom I yelled back 'I think you're rude'.

Not half an hour later I was strolling through a store.  Another mom pushing a stroller behind me said 'excuse me'.  I quickly moved aside and said 'oh sorry'.  She turned her head towards me as she went by and replied with a smile 'that's quite all right'.  What a difference a bit of politeness makes!
