"Some say that a lack of respect is a serious problem while 60% think that rude behavior is on the rise.
This seems like an epidemic, with one act of rudeness inspiring another and ultimately creating a spiral of rudeness.
Imagine this scenario: Someone is annoyed by a rude driver who cuts them up on their way to work. That person walks into the office to be greeted cheerily by a colleague, but can only complain about the rude driver.
In turn, the co-worker takes this as a personal slight and , ultimately taking it out on the next person arriving at work. That third person responds to the hurt by being grumpy and rude.
And so the cycle of rudeness marches ever onward, thanks to the action of that inconsiderate driver."
