I totally agree Alfie.
Where do they learn this sense of entitlement? Modern schooling's the problem.
When I was a kid in the 70s they used to all get jobs guarding cakes in the bakery window in case a black person tried to steal a bit of bread pudding.
Margaret Thatcher's famous Iced Finger tax sounded the death knell of working-class pastries (and who doesn't remember her famous 'the scone has triumphed' speech ') which led to a generation of 'buzzabouts'.
No they are just a right fucking pest getting pissed up and lairy when all you're trying to do is enjoy a nice pint in a beer garden. They'll literally pick on anyone.

Buzz buzz buzz about. Stinging people, harvesting honey, getting excited around coke cans.
They do all that, but when you open a window for them, what you get? they say fuck all. They fly off like air borne stripy sting tailed wankers.
Such rude cunts, if i had my way every wasp and bumblebee wiuld be taught manners at wasp/ bee school. What do they teach them there anyway?? How to continually fly at ice cream and momentarily inspect dog shit before flying off?

Rude indeed. They don't seem to get it.

What does now and always has given me the right fucking ump mate is when you open a window for a bumble bee or perhaps occasionally a wasp, to usher it out, and receive no thanks whatsoever. Not even a tiny buzz. They just fly off oblivious to the act of kindness.

How do you know if they're a feminist before holding the door open, hacko?

They are. Along with piling into the fucking lift without letting you out first. Drives me fucking mental.

I live in Camden Town which is as crowded as fuck and only a mile from the west end and I quite easily still find it easy to be polite.
I do think us East End kids had 'say thank you' drilled into us by our parents. I can only congratulate them on that. We might seem as rough as a badger's arse to outsiders but we've more than our fair share of common decency.
You are far more likely to get a 'thanks' or 'cheers mate' in East London, where I'm from than in North London where I live.

Many moons ago, i was driving in a slow moving line of traffic on Mitcham Road heading toward Croydon.
I noticed a Rolls Royce waiting to get out of a street on my left. Being the excellent fellow that I am, I stopped to allow the Roller to pull out. As he passed in front of me, I noticed two things.
1 - The cunt did not acknowledge me at all.
2 - The cunt was Ron Noades.

I think crowded urban life makes it a lot tougher to be polite. When you have all the space in the world in your buildings and pavement and roads, it is seems people are much more polite. That is my experience at least.

The Japanese are absolute cunts for this, along with holding the door open for whoever they're with but letting it go the moment they're through, regardless of if you're next to them. Cunts

If I hold the door open for someone and they don't say thank you, if I'm feeling snidey I say "Don't mention it." It usually wakes them up.

I think that's exactly right. Hold the door open because it's the right thing to do. If someone says thanks it's a nice that they have manners too but don't get bent out of shape if they don't.
They might be having a bad, bad day and have their head up their arse, they might be foreign and it's a cultural thing or they are searching for the words 'thank you' but they don't get the time (I've done that searching for 'merci' in France) or they may simply be a rude cunt in which case they have plenty of trouble to come with an attitude like that.
Next time someone doesn't respond to your correct manners smile and be content in the knowledge that you are an infinitely superior being and move on serenely.

Re: When you pass someone in a corridor and hold a door for them
Get over it. Do the right thing because it's right, not for the thanks. The ingratitude is their problem.
Agreed. I find the whole british good manners thing tiresome and I believe it often creates more bad will than good. Perfect example is people getting wound up when someone doesnt reciprocate.
Also in my place the door opening thing is ridiculous, someone ten steps in front of you will hold the door open so you have to run along and get there so that they're not waiting for ages. It's a pointless thing for both parties. I'm ok to open the door myself thanks.
I'd rather people be rude that be 'polite' on the outside and fuming with repressed rage inside. Why the fuck do people in this country day sorry when someone bumps into them?
I'm convinced that most of the problems in this country are due to the way people feel obliged to act in certain ways out of politeness. This all comes out when they're behind the wheel of the car or when they've had a few pints and get punchy.
Man up and stop being so easily offended ffs
