Have you noticed a rise in rudeness since Covid?

A lot of it is just poverty/decrease in living standards and people are angry about it. My mortgage is going up 300 quid my electric has gone up 80 tiny food shop is like 80 quid instead of 50, Car insurance is high fuel is high, take aways and little treats have sky rocketed. I’m 32 me and wife both have semi good jobs and our living standards don’t seem that much better than when we bought our house on just above minimum wage 6 years ago due to all the increases. Can’t imagine how it feels for people still on low wages slowly watching disposable income slip away. 25k a year is 1700 a month 40k a year is 2500 a month. So some could feasibly have gone from 25k to 40k in the last few years and feel naf all benefit I worked in sales and coming out of covid we had supplier delays for obvious reasons and it was literally just twat after twat after twat. Until the point I started just getting aggressive back, it almost like people had been locked up that long they just forgot that they weren’t at a computer screen. Amount of people who got abusive then acted confused when they got a “sorry who do you think your talking to” back was astounding. I genuinely think people are angry about there falling living standards and got so used to being behind a screen that they forget people can hurt them in the real world. Had a woman shouting at me, blokes waking up and down raging under his breath, I told his wife to stop talking to me like a piece of shit or I simply wouldn’t try to help, her husband then piped up with “speak to my fking wife like that again and I’ll fking batter you” or similar. The pure look of horror on his face when I offered to go outside the shop to talk about it where there wasn’t cameras was incredible. I loved sales and working with the public before covid, i refuse to do it now and will do any other job before I deal with the general public again
