Hi ! Dz plenty of them India . All intentional.

kelly: trust me, that wouldn't work in southern Germany. On the other hand, it always amazed me in Mexico... where people could be pretty passive-agressive while getting on a bus for example (if I don't look at you, you can't see me and I can do whatever I want)... it was quite the opposite on the streets. There were always tons of people walking on the narrow cobblestone streets (a foot or two wide if you're lucky)... some lumbering along as if they were 150 years old, and others rushing by like New Yorkers... and it was amazing how seldom physical contact was ever made. People just did this little shrug with their shoulders to avoid contact by a hair's breadth.
As far as solving the problem of rudeness.... A very wise man once said.. . "Assholes... they're everywhere... learn to live with them."
