Yes, but I shouldn't let it affect me. I think good etiquette is a sign of basic respect toward others. Those being rude usually have a selfish motive.

Yes as it doesn't cost anything to be polite, and can make sooo much difference to the outcome of someones' day! spread some luurve!

Yes i completely agree. I hate it when your in a shop and ask politely for something and they grunt and throw it on the counter... It costs nothing to be nice and makes the world a better place...

In everyday life I don't get upset but I do get irritated. There's simply no excuse for it in normal situations, though I've heard plenty offered. Having said that, there are some social situations where impoliteness is VERY appropriate, and I have no compunction in using it myself - in fact I'm quite good at it. Whether this makes me hypocritical or not I don't know for certain, but I don't think so. As a day to day watchword I tend to use 'do as you would be done by', which usually seems to solve problems of this type. Most people, however miserable they are, do respond to a bit of politeness and a smile.

Yes...but thank gawd I was blessed with patients... Everything just rolls off my back.

Not anymore. I just laugh at them now, because they are making themselves look stupid, and they don't even know that they're doing that to themselves ;)

Yes, I loathe bad manners and rudeness. You do not need to be Rich or educated to have manners.

They tend to miff me mainly.

Yes, it annoys me.

More than that. Impolite people piss me off.

very much so, I try so hard to make sure my children are taught manners, selflessness and being polite, without being a doormat.

"Aggravate" is maybe a better word for how they affect me.

Upset..not at all..they do tend to annoy the hell out of me though :)
