stand at the movies, and when a new cash register opens up, people who just got in line rush to beat the people who have been waiting a long time. People jockey for positions in grocery store lines as if they and their grocery carts were in the Indy 500 and you wonder if rudeness is on the rise. The one thing all these incidents have in common is that they have been committed by strangers against other strangers. It is particularly ironic to see a rise in rudeness during the holiday rush.
