Why Are Good People Becoming Rude? [POLL]

I have discovered lately that more and more people are being rude to strangers.

Then there was the eighteen wheeler that refused to let our car into the Route 17 to Owego/Elmira side of the split last night. We had just gotten onto the highway and tried to get into the left lane, but the truck slowed and then sped up to keep us out. Really???? I won't even tell you what I called him.

Then this woman's husband blared his horn trying to scare by family into moving, cut into the opposite parking spot and shoved his vehicle in. This despite my family's car being partly in the spot!
