Supplemental Post B: Peeves

I have a lot of pet peeves. My biggest pet peeve is one that contributes to many others, inconsideration. I feel like there are way too many self-important inconsiderate people in this world. There are too many people going around thinking their lives are the only important thing in the world, and acting as if other people's live's don't matters. I realize that all people are by nature selfish, but I think there are a lot of us that consider that there are other people in this world and without them, we wouldn't be able to live our lives. I am not by any means saying I am perfect, because well if you know me, it is obvious I am not, but I really do try to be considerate of the people around me.
Take bad driving for example, that is a result of being inconsiderate. Someone decides that getting to their destination as quickly as possible is more important than anyone else getting to their destination. They have too much going on in their lives to realize there are other people on the road trying to get to their destinations as well. They get into the lane they know is ending in order to get ahead of the polite drivers waiting patiently in their own lanes. They pull out in front of other drivers when there isn't enough time. It is all based on being inconsiderate. If everyone thought of the people who are driving the other vehicles rather than just the vehicle itself, I think people might be more considerate.
Another example of inconsideration is the wonderful boys that live in the last townhouse in my complex. From what I understand they are renting from a couple that bought the townhouse. They are one of the homes in my area that aren't occupied by families, and they make it well known. All summer long they sat outside without shirts (don't even get me started on guys thinking everyone wants to see them without shirts), drank beer and barbecued. They have wild drunken parties until late at night, and altogether disrupt our would be quiet family neighborhood. One of their lovely parties involved someone driving across all of our front lawns and ruining the grass in a beautiful tire mark all the way down the block. They don't worry about anyone else in the neighborhood. Only their fun matters.
The last example is of snotty people in general, I really don't know what contributes to these people, or why they do act the way they do, but frankly it is embarrassing. These people are rude to waiters or people working behind the counter at fast food. Last fourth of July, my husband and I were at Goldofo's right in the middle of all the festivities. It was extremely busy and the three guys working there were doing the best they could. The place was packed and a lot of people were standing. Some people that came after us swooped in and took the seats we were standing politely next to waiting to be vacated. The group started sitting down before the people leaving had even gathered their stuff yet. There was another group who were somehow blind to how crowded the place was and kept going back up to the counter and asking when their sandwiches would be done. New flash, bothering the guys making the sandwiches won't get yours made any faster.
None of this sounds as bad as it actually is in the moment. I just know that for the most part, I try to be aware of the circumstances surrounding me and how other people might be feeling. Not that I am a saint by any means, I just try to practice common courtesy. I think common courtesy is just not as common as it once was, and it is becoming more lost with every generation.
