I have noticed a lot of rude people and not just during the holiday season. Ever smile at someone just to smile and get a dirty look back? I witnessed some impatient man in the grocery store who yelled at a couple who were blocking a whole aile with their grocery cart and he could have politely asked them to move instead of acting like a total jerk. I've also witnessed a man calling a cashier names and saying things that were very unkind and extremely sarcastic for absolutely no reason. People are just not as friendly and kind as they used to be.
