Now I may be a xenophobe and not part of this modern go-go world, full of instant gratification even at another's expense, but truly now: What ever happened to being polite, courteous, and having good manners??
What has spurned this blog are two fold: Had a recent holiday shopping jaunt to the grocery store and other outlets to try to prep for the past thanksgiving ritual. While in the grocery store, had everyone from an elderly couple smash my cart and actually glower at me for what I have no idea, to others who huffed and puffed while I went about purchasing my goods, but obviously not fast enough for their liking to which I say bugger off, just because you are all rush rush rush, gotta get out, doesn't mean I am going to be all riled up on my day off. To come to the dramatic ending of getting to the cashier, who would rather have spit upon me I believe. So after being rung out I turned to her and wished her a happy holiday and a short day and was looked at like I was some retarded alien who had no idea what I was talking about and that I should go off and die from whatever rock I had crawled under.
So I tried to further this research and found that with every store I went into that day, very much the same nonsense: everyone too busy to care about their fellow human and not once did I have a cashier say thanks and have a nice holiday, it was always me or my girl doing the well-wishing...
I thought this was the holiday season where all good earthlings believed in brotherly love and thanksgiving and celebrating the joy of life??
So that's the courtesy bit, now onto etiquette:
Maybe I'm just new to CherryTap and this is the way things are here, but before you get all hey sexy I can make you cumm for hours, don't you think you should have atleast introduced yourself, determined what you have in common with a person, and made an attempt to be a friend before being an ass?
To the people who I've met and gotten to know please feel excluded from this list, it's just my lack of understanding where peoples manners and etiquette have gone. CT is full of people willing to flaunt whatever they have for physical assets, whatever happened to being an honest and good person who sincerely was looking for folks to talk with. I know I had my girl join and within 30 minutes of setting up her page she had over 17 friends requests with random "hey your cute wanna fuck?" jerks to 79 comments etc. How are girls not expected to go, "wow this is crazy I don't think this place is for me"?? Now if you're an attention whore then I'm sure this post will upset you or atleast make you believe I'm a loser, to which feel free to have your opinion.
As I have mine. I'm on board with the "NSFW" push that BabyJesus is urging since I didn't come here to stare at some unknown pair of breast or bobbing penis. I came to meet folks who were outgoing and could once I got to know let me into their world, but to not respect one self enough to not let everyone think them vulgar/or slutish is just poor etiquette.
I'm not trying to be anti-bringin sexy back, because I am also for freedom of speech etc, but CT has an excellent system to allow you to keep that level of exposure to those you trust, no need to give it away to anyone who would care to stalk your page, just to have some self gratification time with your pics....
Maybe I'm off base, granted my views are often non-standard, but think the silly humans should begin to question what happened to manners, courtesy and etiquette? Are they dead? Should everyone just say "fuck it" and move on to the next excess or fast fashion??
Feel free to comment or rip this blog apart, hopefully you'll comment if you take the time to read....that should be yet another CT etiquette 101 request....if you visit, at least rate or comment, don't just lurk....that's just creepy. Cheers!
