I hate the foreign concept that all of a sudden people can be extra rude and belligerent to others in books. As if patience, manners, and anything else like those words are ludicrous. 2 books I have added to my library already started off with people yelling and being demanding towards strangers as if this is how life goes.
That's bullshit.
Everyone is cowardly in such situations. If you run into someone at a store you're not going to yell at them no matter how bad your day is.
If someone comes into a Diner or whatever drunk off their ass and they demand tea, your not going to force coffee or you would more than likely lose your gotdamn job.
Books provoke fantasies but be a little more realistic, eh?
