Sign in to disble this ad
So I'm driving on St. Charles and come to a stop 3 cars back from a streetcar stop and some couple is yelling loud enough that I can hear them through the window. So I turn up the radio (G Love, in case you're curious) to drown out the white trash moment and began pondering "why"?
Like most couples, my wife and I argue on occassion. Usually it's about who is more awesome and can get quite heated (shouldn't even be a discussion, really). As opposed to the couple in question, however, it is never done in public. In addition to not wanting bystanders to even question my place in society as superior to them, I think it's rude to subject others to a stupid tirade. That's all I got. I passed judgement on some more people today and thought I'd share.

On my daily walk back to my car after work, I pass along a road where several members of the low income community spend their afternoons hanging out. It is not uncommon for me to hear these kind of high volume arguments. I feel sorry for both parties.

also, keep in mind that some cultures communicate 'loudly'....loud by your standards, i mean.

Very rude indeed. People need to really start using manners again.
Selfish, ignorant, inconsiderate, rude people. |

This was, however, a fight. If I can go just by appearance, it was a "mixed culture" couple that I wouldn't consider low income based on attire or location.
All I'm saying is that it's fairly disrepectful to both parties (and everyone within earshot of your unhappiness) to carry on like that.

I didn't say that it was. I identified the parties involved in the arguments I witness just as the OP did. I can also tell the difference between loud talking and arguing.
