I don’t know what it is.

Either I’m getting old and people have always behaved like this or something has changed.

For a few years now I’ve noticed that people have gotten extremely rude. Rude and self-confident about it as well. An absolutely dangerous combo if you ask me.

I work a sales job in a shop. I just notices that sentence rhymes.

What’s not so funny is how certain people behave. Not all of them no, if that was the case I’d quit out of frustration or have burnout.

Nevertheless, there are more and more people coming by that are very rude and self-confident about it too. Has it always been like this and have I just not noticed or has something changed?

The Reasons As To Why People Have Become More Rude

Before writing this article I’ve done some research online. The research is on my side. Rudeness in people has risen over the last few years. As to why the following reasons have been given. Pandemic, economic crisis, climate change, politics, the war in Ukraine, etc. The biggest pain point right now is the high inflation of course.

73% said it was not unusual…
