Courtesy among people


What is with people who do rude things? Knowingly or unknowingly, they exhibit rude behavior and lack of common courtesy towards the other person. I had two instances in one day.

When i went to tell my neighbor about some information she has asked me for, in the past, she chooses to talk to me behind locked doors, not even opening her security gate a little bit.

Just as i was walking away after the conversation, feeling a bit annoyed, I chance upon my elderly neighbor, walking her dog. I stopped to chat with her,and in the meantime, her granddaughter comes up. She continues talking to her grandmother, petting her puppy, without even looking at me, giving me a smile, or nod of acknowledgement. Then they continue walking.
Now, what are these kids learning in school? why this lack of courtesy to another person? I am baffled
