Is it bad manners? Noisy (or nosey) neighbours? Crude dress? Expensive groceries? Rainy days? I know this isn't an overly positive toipc, but as is life, we're only human and sometimes things just tick us off...

I was always raised to respect my elders, but unfortunately i have had many experiences of late where some older folks have been extremely rude to me and very inconsiderate. EG Due to my disability i have to use a mobility scooter to get around the shops and one day i was harshly told off my an older lady who said my mobility scooter was an inconvenience to other shoppers and that i was lazy and should have just walked into the shop. My reply to her was well excuse me if i could walk i would. I was extremely upset by this and coudln.t believe my ears. How can you respect someone with that attitude towards a disable person.
