Porteños: Polite people?

Sometimes, Porteños might look like very educated and hard-working people but...is this really true?
Imagine a world where bus drivers explain to you in the kindest way how to get somewhere or underground ticket sellers grinning at you while you charge your SUBE card. That's something that I swear I can't even try to do it.
Everybody is supposed to be polite and kind, that's perfectly understandable. However, when you receive this kind of reaction from almost every person you see a day, your politeness becomes sourer and sourer, taking practically no notice of it.
So, are the Argentines trying to pretend they are correct people when they aren't? I believe that there are two different types of people: the ones who pretend because they know they shouldn't be rude, and the ones who don't care at all about that. Of course, there are some exceptions: I could mention a third group, but it is so small that I'm not going to talk about them, you know, in order to follow my pessimistic style.
In my opinion, it's preferable people pretending to be polite instead of people shouting or being rude for nothing. This doesn't mean I expect to receive hypocrisy, but I'm trying to express what I feel less rude.
If everybody let our feelings go out with no reservation, we all would be like in a mental home, acting like crazy people or wild animals. Now, since this time I don't want to give a boring conclusion, it's time for me to ask you: which kind of person do you prefer meeting?

Sorry, maybe you can notice that my writing quality is getting poorer. Keep in mind that I only have time to write my blog entries while I work, so I can't pay full attention to this. In fact, this topic is starting to bore me.

Let's get serious for a moment

Today, Buenos Aires was hit by transport strike, a measure that is becoming more and more frequent as time goes by. I'm not fully informed to express an opinion about this situation and I don't care, because if I were, nobody would care what I think, in fact, nobody cares about other people's opinions. Everyone has their only truths, and nobody wants to hear others' opinions. That's the way the porteños think. There are always so many people in the middle of this confrontation between the government and some unions and nearly always they are affected because they can't arrived at their workplaces. To be honest, I have mixed feelings about this: something, that I'm not completely sure what it is, annoys me. Maybe it's the egoism, the dissembled violence behind these acts or the media trying to make us believe that the Argentines are very devoted to work. Let's not lie to ourselves anymore. NOBODY LIKES TO WORK!!! I hate working and I'm not afraid to admit it. What are the pros of working? Er...nope, there's no bright side to look on about working. Oh yep! The salary. Well, in fact, that's necessary to eat. But if you didn't need your salary, you would certainly not work. What's the point of wasting such quantity of hours a day doing something completely repetitive, boring and useless for your life? I think that I have clearer the part I like about transport strikes, though I'm missing the point of this entry.
Coming back to the first point, this strike is generating transport chaos at some places of the city, as if more chaos were necessary. Gov't telling lies, the opposition telling lies, people distrusting both parts, making them be divided by something nobody understands...it's pathetic and sad. Nothing is gonna change until this presidential term is over.
To give a humble conclusion, it seems that our only "solution" is still waiting and praying for something better. This is something that clearly can't satisfy anyone.
It's probably a sad conclusion, and I wouldn't like to leave this entry in such an awful way, but I'm running out of ideas and I can't see how to cheer ourselves up.
