i get annoyed with no manners

Tyler has lunch with me every tuesday and thursday, after his class, on his way back to work. I usually bring us something from home and we heat it up here. Yesterday when Tyler got to my office we went into the kitchen to heat up our food (burritos this time) and as we walked into the kitchen, 2 guys (who shall remain nameless) taught I work with were standing in the doorway of the kitchen, waiting for their food in the microwave. Tyler goes to the fridge to get out the burritos and turns to me and says, "where are the burritos?" So I go and take a look in the freezer and they are nowhere to be found. I turn around and open the microwave, and there are our burritos, all done and ready to be eaten by the 2 guys! So I whip around to the doorway, but they had already booked it outta there. So I storm down the hallway to the call floor and walk up to one of them, sitting at his desk acting like he had been there all along and say, "Nameless! You don't eat other's peoples food! If you didn't bring it, then don't eat it!!" And his only response is, "why are you only yelling at me about it?" I say, "I'm going to go yell at other nameless too, don't worry about it and don't eat someone else's good!!!" Then I walk to other nameless' desk and say "Don't eat other people's food! What's wrong with you? You don't take someone else's food!" He cowered and said. "okay, okay." I then went back to the kitchen and ate with Tyler. His response? "At least we didn't have to heat them up." I love my husband.

Then last night we went to The Live Nativity with Mom, Dad, Andrew, and Karli. Tyler and I got there just after 6:00pm (the show didn't start til 7pm) and saved four more seats for everyone else. It was seriously crazy trying to defend those seats! After the show, we are trying to leave, and of course it's totally crowded. After standing there for about 5 or 10 minutes, I see this blonde lady PUSHING people out of the way and forcing her way up the bleachers. She then turns and saves a row of seats. She was there for the next show, starting at 8pm. So I look around and realize that all the confusion and crowds of getting out is caused mostly by people forcing their way to the bleachers for the next show. I turned to Tyler and said "All these people are trying to get seats for the next show before we have even gotten out. That is so rude." Some guy overheard me (this guy was one of those people pushing everyone out of the way to get seats) and says, "Yes, it's so rude, isn't it?" I wasn't sure if he was being sarcastic or not, so all I said was, "I'm just trying to get out of here." So he picked up his kid and let us get past. Mom asked some guy to move because it would be easier for him to get to his seat if she was out of his way, he said to her, "Well, you are just going to have to go around me." Way to kill the spirit of the show - a depiction of the birth of Christ, whose example was one of patience, long suffering, kindness.

Seriously. What is wrong with people? This is one of my biggest pet peeves. There is such a lack of manners and being polite to others. It makes me so angry, why didn't their mothers teach them to treat people better? Why didn't their mothers teach them to not eat other people's food? Why didn't their mothers teach them patience and to be polite?
