Originally posted by Pondlife View PostAt one point the nice lady behind the bar refilled my glass and some prick asked her what wine it was. He then proceeded to pick up my glass and stick his nose in it. No "Do you mind", "May I" or "Excuse me", no acknowledgement that I was there. Completely oblivious. WTF is wrong with people these days? Barlass was as speechless as I was. She just dumped the wine in the sink and poured a fresh one but this is just one example of how rude "these people" are. It's not an age thing as they were a mixed bunch.
That is a straight slapping offence, would not hesitate.

It seems a bit unusual a trendy group like that would be of diverse age range in the first place.Originally posted by Pondlife View PostAs I said, this was a broad spectrum of ages.
I think the point is that probably any demographic has the tendency at act as a bigger bunch of pricks when they are in a large number of "their own" than the individuals would be when in a minority.
It's not the fact that you're wearing glasses with no lenses that makes you rude.

WHSOriginally posted by d000hg View PostSo exactly like we were at their age, and our parents were, and their parents, etc.
Nothing new here except us/you getting old.
Young people are supposed to be irritating; if they aren't then they're doing something wrong.

You are Jeremy van Clarkson and I claim my 5 Guilders....Originally posted by Mich the Tester View PostFair enough; I don't like bad manners either. Unfortunately I might actually be a guilty party in this thread. I have a side parting, I have old fashioned plastic specs, I often wear colourful trousers and I own a record player and listen to old LPs on it. I even own a Mac and I know it isn't a raincoat. Perhaps I'm just a bit of a c|_|nt, really.

Oh I'm alright then, I don't go to Starbucks, I don't have an opinion on everything, I am certainly not a feminazi and I can't look at a cow without seeing a fillet steak.Originally posted by Kurzon View PostThey are dominating the new generation. Just wanna say that not all of them* are like this and I hate them just as much as you.
*them being students ('mature' or not), graduates and Apple Mac morons that frequent Starbucks or whatever wearing strange clothes and having an opinion on everything without actually knowing anything about it.
Most of them will be radical feminazis, vegans with unwarranted self-importance, middle-class with something to say on animal rights and current affairs (but actually being clueless and ignorant) etc.
STAY WELL AWAY!
