This is exactly how some people out there are (both locals and city ppl), Its sad to say. I grew up in Springs and have lived in PA for oh, 4 years now? In PA most men are gentlemen and open the doors for women with children, the elderly and people just in general seem to hold doors often for one another. While I lived on the East End, I noticed this sort of selfish behavior you mention QUITE often. And like I said I don't think its confined to one group of people, although some of the rich out-of-towners and city people tend to act this way more often. I remember after 9-11 people out east were sooo considerate to each other in the following weeks..it was almost bizarre. Now when I visit the rest of my family, I notice things are back to normal and there's that "me first" attitude. Its not just something the city people bring to towns on the east end I'm sad to say, although it does seem they do it more often >_>. It's a general attitude in New York or maybe just the entire Island (I used to work up-island and was absolutely appalled at some of the rude behavior I witnessed). Go to many other states and you see that people are far more courteous overall. Not that there aren't plenty of courteous people in the hamptons and east end in general but, I really truly have noticed the difference since being away from 'home'. :( You can hate me for mentioning this, but I mean if you've been away from the east end, the Island or even New York itself, I'm sure many of you noticed the general difference in friendliness and courtesy towards perfect strangers? PS: I'm really not one to want to start any 'fights' on here so if your opinion differs, I accept that and you don't need to rip me a new one in a post ;) Yup.
