Guest guest Posted July 18, 2004 Report Share Posted July 18, 2004 Ken, I have to agree 100% about people in DC being rude. I moved to a suburb of DC about 7 years ago and worked in DC for three years. Ugghhhh......rude is putting it nicely. No one holds doors for you, they push you out of the way etc. And I am from NY....you would think I would have been prepared. I commuted for years on the metro to work and finally had to stop when I was pregnant with Jake. No one would ever give up a seat. One day my car was in the shop so I took the metro when I was about 7 months pregnant. I had to fight a man for a seat, I couldn't believe it. Another time I was taking metro and was holding Jake in my arms (we were coming home from a Wizard's game) and the train was packed. Nobody offered their seats. There was a father with two teenage sons, and he saw me and never had one of his sons get up. I was shocked. Alison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 18, 2004 Report Share Posted July 18, 2004 That's one good thing about Toronto. We have our occasional moments with rudeness but most often the fights are over " no you go first; no you go first " when holding the door for someone. I don't think I could ever live in a place like DC...my little unaccustomed eyes wouldn't be able to handle it!
