She continued to stand and stare at us while we ate. I again told her the table would not be available for quite a while and that we would like to enjoy our meal without her staring at us. She proceeded to take one of the chairs and pushed some men out of the way so she could sit down. After all that she just got up and left giving us a dirty look!

THAT is un.be.lieve.able!!! I've observed rudeness but that is down-right unspeakablely crass! I tried to think of an appropriate word but "all" escape me at the moment. I'm glad you held your ground!

You point is valid, understood and agreed with it. There is a "smugness" that exists here.
I moved here in 2000, and watched the attitude change from being thankful, to "we deserve this" and all others do not work, did not work, or build walls to keep everyone out but us. (not political...speaking of the attitude toward Wildwood, Leesburg, etc.)
It permeates this board, entertainment venues, attitudes on restaurants and the attitude of the only opinion IS MY OPINION.
I, and am going further than perhaps you were headed, am disappointed in anyone (whatever generation) that demeans others without an ounce of respect for others OR their opinions.

On Point!!!!!!!
We've lived here 9 years and have gradually noticed a change. I'm appalled at how people use the social media sites to negate other's opinions, to put down and to be disrespectful in every sense.
One of my favorite expressions is "more is caught than taught!" So is that what they all have done to their own kids and grandkids??? Must make them all proud!! I was raised with the notion that demeaning others is to try to make one's self feel better or good. The bullying isn't happening just in schools...apparently it's being done by folks who should know better!!!
