Remember the old Star Trek Prime Directive?
How they put observation crews on planets to watch the societies from an invisibility cloaked observation platform.
I was out shopping again today (say it isn't so).
I feel like I am looking at society from behind an invisibility shield.
I use manners and try to be courteous to people as I interact with them.
Today, I was amazed at how surprised people were when I said excuse me, thank you or held the door for them. Flat out astonishment on their faces.
Has anyone else noticed you seem to be invisible when you are out in public?
Are people so caught up in their activities they no longer notice their immediate surroundings?
Have you noticed this or am I just weird (wait, I know I'm weird, strike that).
I went into the smoke & ale shop.
I held the door for the woman who works there.
She was astonished I held the door for her.
There were 7 customers and 3 employees.
I was fully aware of all them.
I got my beer & smokes and as I was leaving the guy with two cases of Bud was struggling with the door, I sprang forward and got the door for him.
He looked at me with a look of bewilderment.
As he went out, I saw his foot kinda push the door open for me so I told him thank you. Another look of bewilderment.
Are we programmed to ignore other people in public?
Is that something I missed by not watching enough TV?
It seems it gets more extreme as time progresses.
Has anyone else noticed this?
