The Lamentable Loss of Etiquette

The thing that REALLY Annoys me is that people just aren't polite anymore. I work in market research (it at least give me some money) and the most common example of rudeness that happens is thus:

Me: Can I speak to Mr Blah please?

PersonOnTheOtherEnd: No

*sound of phone being slammed down*

I mean seriously, they could at least do me the courtesy of telling me WHY i can't speak to the aforementioned!

Another such example is this:

Me: We're currently carrying out a survey to understand shopping habits.

P.O.T.O.E: F**** Off!

Is there any need?

Ka-Thunk.

That's the sound of the New Year arriving. Well, in reality it sounded more like an Old Firm game had suddenly appeared in the living room of number 19 Springfield.

But anyway, we hear that the new holy boiler is coming to be installed on the 27th of February. Things weill really hot up about then, what with church politics and all.

I've just realised that I've forgotten my clothes for work. Shite.

Oh well, Life goes on.
