My experience is that people, outside of driving, have been nicer since COVID.

Nice try, but Richmond is a city

No, I admit to being sheltered. I walk the museum district and carytown a lot. And the vast majority of my interactions are pleasant. HOWEVER, I readily admit to being sheltered and being able to chose most of my interactions.

I've worked retail before..at a lowes..and met a lot of strange people. 90% of them would laugh at my dad jokes and be nice. But the other 20% were memorable jerks.

YES, I know my math is off. But it's a dad joke. I will say that it takes some work on our part not to let the jerky 10% outweigh the neutral to nice majority. One ood asshole can really ruin a day if you let him.

I'm also older and hopefully wiser and have spent some time working on how I view the world and people.

It costs zero dollars to not be a dickhead to people.

Why be kind when I have my CCW handy?

So I’ve seen these signs all over but am out of the loop on the origin story. Could anyone educate the uniformed?

i'm with you dude. i can't remember the last time i had a bad interaction with a random stranger. pleasant chats at the bars. cordial behavior in the supermarket and friendly nods on the streets. the only time i see the nastiness in people is whenever something political comes up in this sub. i think the last time someone was rude to me was back when some lady was pretending masks worked and yelled at me for not wearing one while i ran in the park.

On a real note based in reality - I very rarely have bad interactions in this sub (maybe never actually) and very rarely have bad interactions when talking to strangers (usually in line or at a bar while buzzed).

If someone randomly approaches me on the street though that that has a much higher chance of being a poor interaction but it isn’t a given .

Some lady started making them and giving them away a while back. She’s moved away but now people make their own. My wife has made about 30 of them to give away to people. I think it’s pretty cool, sometimes we need a reminder to chill the fuck out and be cool to people.

Too bad. The world is dying and society is on a sharp decline. Within 500 yrs it will collapse. Human communication is breaking down.
