While clearing the mail box this morning I stepped out into the road so a woman with a trolley could get along the very narrow path to the mail boxes. Not a thank you, nothing Ignorant so and so's.

One of the rudest people I came across was opening my purse I dropped a heap of coins onto the shopping centre floor, woman swept down and started grabbing them, then walked off and kept the bloody lot!

A few times my daughter has bent down to pick up someones change that they have dropped.The person looks on in panic and then is pleasantly surprised when she hands it over.

I have found the staff in any of the shops we have been to have been great, but its the letting people past thing (you know, the no after you with a smile) and yeap they seize the moment and go past, not a thanks kiss my arse nothing. And is it us but my son has found the aussie kids to far more full on at school, and i must say i did the christmas school party ( helped out) and yes there were. Is that they are more confident.

Not just that, nobody around told her to wise up. It was a completely unbeleivable situation. A woman would not move her foot 3 inches to let Mrs JTL and baby in a pram pass.

The woman was obviously really pissed off about life/work/trains/something. But to take it out on Mrs JTL, was a bit low. Still I felt a bit better when I saw what was going and and came down the carriage and lifted the whole bloody pram over her foot. Stupid pathetic old woman, I hope she felt as big of a muppet as she looked in my eyes. And to all the other commuters who just looked away.... cheers thanks for your help.

You begin to understand why its a "me first" culture here.

Obviouslly she was too stupid to think ahead. She gets the same train as me in the afternoons...

Whats the saying? Revenge is a dish best served cold?

She must dread her trips home now. All because she wouldn't move her stupid foot.

Disclaimer: I do nothing to intimidate her, but I sit within her view when I see her. I'm a big ugly bloke, not my fault.

I guess you didn't read this bit then?

I too have travelled extensively for work etc throughout the state....haven't noticed any difference! Except in the far north there are hardly any cars!

I get the "no wave of gratitude" when I go out of my way to pull over to allow cars coming up a single lane hill. We take this for granted back home but here it's everyone for themselves - primitives!
