“Entitled” ?? Yes. “Entitled” to be rude, crude, and lewd.
“Entitled” to exercise some kind of pathetic need to control others — especially because their targets are seen as helpless, in a position of not being able to talk back.
(One evening at dinner, a server thanked me for being so nice to her. ??? That woman must have been having one helluva day at work.)
I could go on and on.
But, for now, I will simply attribute this not-so-subtle change in attitude to the prevailing wind in TV. |
The scowls outweigh the smiles by a long shot. We've been commented on our politeness as well. Someone on TOTV once posted, do you know what the most asked question here in the villages is? "Is anything ok?" I can't remember who it was to give them credit.
