    Default WTF happened to courtesy and common sense?

    I see more and more dumb-ass comments in threads and on the street. You know, if you're not interested in buying the High Speed Super Duper Shooter the guy has posted, ignore it or Private Message your offer. Why would you post "Hmmm... like dude, retail is $349.95..."

    Oh, and when I hold the door open for you, a simple thank you would be nice.... And, hang up the freaking phone while you drive!

    Keerist, I better switch to decaf...

    I get angry when people don't even acknowledge that someone is holding the door open for them. The door didn't magically open on its own you jackass.


    Also, someone already posted this thread, and it's cheaper over there.

    Common courtesy and Common Sense are both acutely uncommon!

    Oh, I hate it when I hold the door open for someone and they walk by me like I'm invisible. I usually reply with a loud, "You're welcome." The looks on their faces are priceless.

    "Common Courtesy" requires respect; if not for the individual, then for the act/action.

    As a whole, respect is an endangered species and more often than not people expect to be the recipients of respect but won't even entertain the idea of giving it.

    Sadly, I don't expect this trend to reverse itself. In fact, I wholeheartedly expect to see it worsten.

    1st.. don't feed the trolls

    2nd.. we do have a provision that there is to be no 'spaming' of peoples ads.. if you see it before one of the mods do, just flag it or let one of us know and we'll be along shortly to take care of it. if it becomes a problem with a certain individual(s), that too will be taken care of

    Good post Copfish!! I agree 100%. The ones that get it, get it. MOST, of the ones that don't, never will. Like someone said earlier, it's a respect thing. You have to respect yourself before you can respect others. The good thing is, the biggest percent of the individuals on this forum are really good dudes. I have meet quite a few in person and would throw back a beer with every single one of them.
