The youth of today never fail to make me sick. When I was young...not that I'm old but I mean when I was considerably younger in my teens, I was taught to have respect for my elders, to show compassion and kindness to those in wheelchairs and to always say please and thank you. Nowadays it's not like that.
I was standing at the bus stop today and there was a lady in a wheelchair. She was waiting in line with her mother to board the bus that had arrived. As the doors opened to let the passengers get on, a chavvy cunt walked in front because she was taking a while to manoeuvre her wheelchair up the ramp. When he was challenged by the bus driver he ignored him and sat down on the seat. Naturally this got my back up. Everyone after him seemed to follow suit, boarded the bus and not letting the lady get on.
I waited until it was my turn and put y arm out to allow her on the bus. The bus driver said nothing to any of the other people that had pushed in, nor did he apologise to the woman that was kept waiting. She thanked me for which I replied there was no need. At the end of the day it's common courtesy but it seems people don't have that anymore.
It makes me sad to think that we don't have any respect anymore, not just for the elderly but for those who are less fortunate than ourselves.
