Common courtesy means that you must think of others beyond yourself.  Toddlers cannot do this.  When toddlers grow into small children, they gain this sense of other, but it is not permanent.  A sudden surge of hormones in the teenage years wipes away all thought of others.  Teenagers go back to toddlerhood, and it is a much tougher fight to regain this sense than it was to achieve the first time.  It is this difficulty that often stops many from finding common courtesy again.

You find these underdeveloped, self-absorbed adult teen/toddlers everywhere.  They are the ones who make appointments they don't keep.  They are the ones who throw garbage next to garbage cans.  They are the ones who tailgate.  They are the ones who promise over and over a task will be done, and never do it.

And it is the ones who re-achieved their evolution back to common courtesy who must suffer.
