I don't know why but recently I have noticed that there are a lot more ill mannered people in this world than I realized. Let's take the simple little day to day things like office etiquette. People used to be curtious to their neighbors however lately it seems that there are far more people with poor manners than there are with good manners. I mean taking a conference call on speakerphone in your cubicle is one of the most disrespectful, uncurtious thing a person could do. Your neighbors around you are trying to work and it is not fair that when you are at your desk they have to throw on headphones to tune out your poor manners. I mean is it so hard to take the call in a conference room with your laptop if speakerphone is necessary? It's especially unnerving when there is no one enforcing office etiquette. I mean come on, I know you are much more valuable to the company than I may be but shouldn't that mean you should have a little bit more courtesy?
Another thing that really gets me is when you hold the door for someone and they just speed on pass without acknowledging your gesture, however if you did not hold the door for them you would be subject to their scowls and heavy sighs letting you know of their dis-satisfaction. I just do not understand what has happened in this world to cause people to be so rude. Maybe it is the way I was raised but I was taught to appreciate the nice things people do for you and to be kind and courteous. Maybe upbringing is the problem here...whatever the problem is I wish that people would take a moment and think about how they act and be more courteous...maybe then we would have a better world...maybe that is idealistic to say but I think I have said what a lot of people have thought
