The Rudeness Epidemic

From cell phones ringing in the movies, to people texting during dinner to obnoxious drivers, societys lack of civility is astounding. Dr. Phil shines a spotlight on rude people, and some are even sitting in his audience! Then, Amy Alkon, author of I See Rude People, reveals how to deal with bad manners. If youre the offender, learn how to overcome a rude attitude. And, Robert says he made a waitress cry for mixing up his order, and he told a buddys new girlfriend that she wouldnt be around for long. Is Robert doomed to be crude for the rest of his life? See what happens when Dr. Phil puts him to the test! Plus, Anne says shes tired of her sister, Kimberly, constantly interrupting others. Kimberly says she always has something important to say, and she doesnt feel the need to change. Can Dr. Phil give her a wake-up call?

@linkrocks99 Not gonna lie, americans can be pretty huge assholes. Not saying that americans are the only ones, far from it. But it seems like americans are the only ones who don't realize they can be assholes.

@UniversalMinded see back in the day it used to be 100% face to face interaction unless u were a shut in and u learned to respect others by meeting people who would kick the shit out of u if u didnt show them respect now a days we have trolls who spend all day trolling and never go out in public to learn the meaning of respect technology is clearly cause alot of problems

@TheCatsLastWord Damm right. When I took a vacation to the states we drove North to South and as we got further South the American people became nicer and friendlier. I have to say the Georgians are super nice...to nice it made it creepy. I was invited to 3 dinner partys and these people didnt know me from Adam.

@KevinPatrickCarey

I could be wrong, but, as far as I know, assholes come in all shapes, sizes, colors, and places of origin. I sincerely doubt that "you americans" are the only ones who have been rude since the beginning of time. All humans are rude, no matter where they're from. Not to mention, the inherent rudeness that comes from a statement like that. Get over yourself, you're not better than anyone else just because you were born somewhere you think is special.

@KevinPatrickCarey couldent agree with you more

[214truema]

Rudeness and arrogance go together. 

[TheCatsLastWord]

[SuckMyAssBarf]
