Are people on drugs??

I think that with the way that the world is more connected nowadays with phones and computers, you see MORE of everything. MORE good people, MORE regular people and MORE idiots. It is human nature to dwell on what is the worst whether it be inconsiderate people, bad politicians or child molesters. I doubt that there is a greater percentage of child molesters than there were 50 years ago. We just are more aware of things today.
Back to your original topic, I agree that many people are inconsiderate. I tried like hell to get through to the guy selling the Charger that I bought in 2000. He was out of town through the week and didn't list a cell phone #. Sometimes their excuses are valid, sometimes they are not.
