1 manual- and 2 electric swing bridges today that we opened in the rain using a key.
Waiting drivers watch you open the bridge, move the boat by, close the bridge, then force you aside with their cars before you can cross the bridge to your boat on foot.
Face to face, Brits are quick to call verbal interaction "Rude!" when it suits, but when they're separated from you by car glass, it's Me First!

243 followers · 2070 posts · Server floss.socialI commented recently on how annoyed I was at theatres trying to convince me I wanted to be there for "the experience" when I had already paid for said ticket. This is the other experience we're getting by going back to public spaces: other people. "Why is everyone using their phones in movie theaters?" below begs the question, "why didn't I just wait and watch this at home in peace?"

Surgery was the only remedy but he did like to jokingly prescribe ketchup and mustard to patients first.

Well, I never had that kind of experience with Twitter or with #Mastodon. Also hardly in web-forums.
Maybe many people do follow the wrong accounts? 🤔

How often do you even hear "please" and "thank you" in film and television?

In my experience, this is absolutely spot-on, especially when dealing with people from the North of #Holland such as the #Frisians. They really tend to be quite #Honest and #Direct.

I just lapped someone 4 sets while waiting for them to let go of the weights I should have been using. But I ended up using more than that, so it works out. 🤷🏼♂️. #weightlifting #gym #rudeness

Other research suggests #rudeness can amplify “anchoring bias,” the tendency to base #decisions solely on the first piece of #information received in a situation.
Prior analyses have shown that #anchoring is by far the most common cognitive #error in medical diagnoses.

317 followers · 2331 posts · Server toot.communityIn many walks of life, #rudeness is on the rise.
Anger and toxicity are hallmarks of social media. Research shows that rude behavior #spreads like a virus, not only through people who experience it but also through those who witness it, and recent polls suggest most Americans believe #incivility has risen to crisis levels. It’s a problem in the workplace, where 3 out of 5 employees report they experience rudeness at least once a week.
