Lack of obvious needs to rely on each others (in other words lack of obvious selfish reasons to consider the fellow human being since he/she will in turn consider you) is eating the human societies from inside - only small signs like above mentioned here and there now... but creepy feeling that it is indeed getting worse as we go :(
It will get worse if parents are stopping teaching their kids those manners which aim to make everyone's living good, not just your own.
Last weekend I observed a 35ish farther, in a fully packed supermarket, filling the whole corridor by walking sloooowly hand in hand with his small children... maybe 4y old boy was dragging a small shopping cart quite obviously running it to people as they passed them and occasionally to the store shelfs, stopping shortly every time to look back at the incident. Farther quite obviously knowing what was going on but not giving a damn...
Young and old, male and female, stopping in doorways in public places to fiddle with their mobiles or to chat with someone blocking the whole doorways...
People walking in groups straight "through" you without any intention to make room for other walkers...
Garbage dumped straight out from car windows or from pockets...
Totally wreckless and mindless driving in our practically empty roads...
Lots of really clever drivers having the intellingence to pass verybody else in the highway exit queu and taking the last possible turn to the exit into the front of all those less clever who queu...
Yep it has always existed but I have a pretty definite feeling that never in this scale.
