There are 2 main reasons why people are rude

The 2 main reasons people are rude are ignorance and selfishness. Neither of course , is a good thing.  A child is born ignorant of etiquette.  Adults, however, display their ignorance at another level.  You know the rules, but you can be blind to how you break them or be too self-centered to care.  In fact, you may not realize how unpleasant you can be.

Nothing irritates others as quickly as being rude.

Test yourself with this: Would your friends and coworkers say you're a blessing, or that you are.....

People who practice good etiquette tend to raise the respect level of the environment around them

That is it in a nutshell,  now that you pointed it out it is clear.   Selfishness,  me first,  to heck with you attitudes are the mother of rudeness.     I plan to pay more attention to my actions to be sure my co-workers will see a difference.

Experiencing selfishness is a hot button for many people, me included.  Why can't everyone just live by the Golden Rule?
