Inconsiderate People

What, in a person's mind, allows them to be terribly inconsiderate to the people around them? I believe that inconsiderate people are simply selfish individuals who have a highly inflated opinion of themselves and who feel that others just don't count.

We're in a trailer park where everyone lives fairly close together so it's important not to make unnecessary noise late at night or too early in the morning. But there are people who warm up deisel vehicles at dawn, people who don't clean up their dog's poop, and people who let their dogs bark for hours. What are they thinking? Are all others in the world around them so unimportant?

Just last week we were in a lineup at a buffet with about 6 people still behind us. One of our group walked up the line and stepped in front of us. How did he justify this rudeness in his mind? How could his haste be worth the impression he left on the people who saw this? I just don't get it.

One lady (actually the wife of the line breaker) never goes to our weekly luncheon but, when she found out it was a free lunch last week, she went and stocked up on everything available. These appear to be people with money so why the greed? And something else I noticed is that inconsiderate people all seem to have a creepy nature. Hmmm!

One of the first lessons we learn in life is to be considerate of others so is it possible these people were never taught that lesson? Do we need special lessons to teach us consideration or is it something we should just know is right to do?

The inconsiderate ones are by far in the minority but it's still so pleasant to be in the company of polite people. You can trust polite and considerate people but you'll always be wary around the creeps.
