The way some people act on a cruise, I shudder to think how they must act at home!  :shock:

I'm glad to say I have not encountered too many rude people on a cruise. However, we did have a rather large lady push me aside so she could get to the front on the line to disembark. I almost fell down with my 2 YO in my arms! That woman deserved every name my DH called her and it was comical to see how red she got!:devil:

Some people just have no class or consideration for anyone else. Sometimes, when I am out at a store, or in the airport, I am constantly amazed at how rude some people can be.

There are those who are rude on purpose having that "me, me, me" attitude. Then there are those that are so oblivious to what is going on around them that they are rude whether intentionally or not. Some people just don't know better and don't even know how rude they are. I work with a girl like that. The twit!

On the Norwegian Spirit, a "lady" on the loungechair next to me sat clipping her toenails and letting them fly wherever the wind took them. Thank God I was upwind from her.

That was enough to stifle my appetite--for a good 10 minutes, too!
:crazy:

That's just gross! There was a lady in my church in NC that sat and clipped her fingernails during the sermon! One of the rudest things I had ever seen!

OMG, as a preacher I don't think I could help BUT comment on that! Especially since so many people find it necessary to comment on my nails. I think on her way out the door that morning I'd tell her that I have a great nail tech, if she needs a reference! :angeldevil1:

My DH is a minister, but wasn't one at the time -- not sure the minister noticed or not, but she did it quite a few times. If you met her, you would never in a million years expected that behavior -- very professional woman! Was bizarre to say the least!

I'm still contemplating a class action suit. It ruined "a lifetime of memories".
