I agree until you deal with passive aggressive people or narcissists- I don’t understand people who have an agenda.

Because my wife (school counselor) has a non-trivial portion of her student’s parents just come in hot with weapons-grade assholery before trying anything else.
It's no surprise that the arse hole children who end up in trouble all the time have arse hole parents

We view this as rudeness. But when I’ve been in NYC, for example, and asked someone for information or directions, they have been very nice.
I love NYC for this reason. Everyone is on a mission so they can be rude when you frick that up. But they'll be nice about it. It's the coolest thing in the world when you realize it. An example:
I once saw a lady pull up to the entrance of a subway with a stroller. She didn't see an elevator and was wondering what to do. Before I could even get to her a guy in a suit on the phone walks to the front of the stroller stares back at her like wtf are you waiting for? Picks up the front while she grabs the back and down the stairs they go. When they get to the bottom he drops the stroller carefully and walks off. No thank you goodbye thumbs up nothing. That's NYC courtesy for you.

It doesn't cost anything to be nice. Corny but true af.

People have main character syndrome and are easily offended. Cause for combativeness and constant need for control.
They believe it gives them a pass to say and do what they want without the concern of others.

its not hard and usually benefits everyone involved. And if you don’t, you’re probably on some level being ignored and/or deprioritized.
People struggle with this most simple of soft skills. It’s astounding
Unfortunately, this is 180 degrees from all management models/tactics/practices that have been executed over the past 30 years. Seems you could not get elevated into a management UNLESS you were an a-hole. You are not supposed to fraternize with people you manage outside of the workplace. Can’t be “friends/friendly” with people you manage. Per “personnel evaluation” methods you CANNOT have all of your employees receive “good” evaluations. Have to “rank” them “best to worst”……..no other way. I have known and seen people who were GREAT managers with GREAT employees that left management jobs because they were basically told that they were too “NICE” to the people that worked for them. Told that “A happy workforce is not a productive workforce”.

The problem in todays world is when you are nice and respectful after a while people will start to take advantage of that and then when you have to get mean and put them in there place they take it personal and get butthurt, people are so soft now its ridiculous
You are correct and two butthurt people downvoted you out of spite.
Probably fatherless.
