    Are they American? I didn't think anyone in the UK was still so obstinately stupid and ignorant as to believe that any more.

        Nope. English and well educated, apart from my brother in law who, at least, has the excuse of being an idiot.

          I tend to walk straight at those people. How else do you educate them?

              Bad manners (not Buster Bloodvessle) and that vanity and self absorption have become a culture.

                  Power lifters have manners right?

                  It's the quiet ones you gotta watch.

                    Twat him with the 8Kg of laptop, books etc in your bag as you go past. It might not hurt him but it will piss him off.

                    Although to be fair it's invariably short people and uptight women who are the problem. Big blokes tend to be quite mellow as they don't get so anxious in crowds.
                    While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

                      I was thinking more along the lines of it being very easy to teach someone manners but it is not quite as tempting when they are twice your size.
