Civic Duty

People need to start being more respectful towards eachother. When I go out and walk around the city, I see people littering, standing in the middle of aisles of stores oblivous to everyone else, sticking their feet out on the CTA making it difficult to get by, and talking loudly and bothering others.. It is so frustrating to see people doing this. It's like they have no consideraton for anyone else besides themselves. The disrespectfulness of this city is the thing that I hate the most. As far as I can tell, this only hapens in big cities. Almost everywhere else that I have gone, especially small communities, everyone is extremely friendly and are just waiting to have a conversation with you and they are respectful of others. I know that this is a big city and that complete strangers aren't just going to start becoming friends over night, but we need to look out for one another and not just have our own best interest in mind all of the time. There is a lot of room for improvement so until then take baby steps and hold your garbage until you get to a trash can. Move to the side of an aisle or side walk to loiter. Stick your feet out until someone else comes on the train. And try to talk quieter when around others.
