I work in a call center for city gov't, taking service requests from the public. It's a very stressful job. The call queue is high, and callers are oftentimes incredibly rude and down right horrible. Over the phone, people are very brave. Some operators are so burned out by dealing with angry people all day that we can become callus (sp?) and are not as sweet as your Granny might be. Not a single day goes by where at least 1/3 of the callers are pissed and gladly take it out on the operators. I understand if callers are frustrated, but why blast the poor schmuck on the front line?

Every week I even get people cursing and actually yelling abusively. I ask that they please govern their language, or I will terminate the call. I've had to do it several times.

Why is this okay? I see it in the mall, grocery store, the bank, on the bus (especially!), post office, in call centers, everywhere. At the very least, they should care about their dignity by not making an *ss of themselves.

Besides that, it is easier for me to see.(I'm old) Where can I read about the ettiquette for writing on the computer screen, etc?

I've noticed a disturbing trend. Almost NO ONE waits anymore when they see someone backing out of a parking space.

I can't even begin to count the times in the last 6-12 months, that I was backing up and had other cars nearly shave off my car's behind as they continued driving past. And it's not because I'm slow or back up poorly. I do it quickly & efficiently. :) Still, it seems like only 1 in 10 have the COMMON COURTESY to wait just the few extra SECONDS it takes for me to finish. :( The majority go right by, almost causing a collision!

I don't believe that ALL these folks simply didn't see me backing up. I think the majority see, but don't give a damn. They're so entrenched in the "me-me-me" and "go-go-go!" mindset that they can't stand to wait even a MOMENT. Manners obviously don't matter either.

BTW, I'm not the only one this happens to. Several family members & friends experience it too. Anyone else experienced it? And can anyone EXPLAIN it? :( It's so disheartening!

She has sexy legs and wears short skirts all the time. Holy corn I am only human but I feel like a sick pervert.

She is much older than me and has been married almost since I was born but I can't help myself. We have similar personalities and she is hot hot hot.

I mean come on. After so many years her hubby has probably chated on her...and the fire has probably gone out of that marriage.

Right.

Ok. I am a bad person and need to shoot myself. I know.

I see so many questions from people asking, "why do americans...?" and fill in the blank with anything bad.

Why are you so obsessed with us and why do you feel the need to denigrate us? Explain that .

What are your thoughts on people who send you nasty emails, in response to either a answer you give or a question you ask, then change their settings so you can't reply to them? Cowardly or just petty bitc*hes. Happened to me sooo many times. Any thoughts

It's often very easy to spot one abroad. And I don't mean the fat middle aged ones ignoring signs prohibiting flash photography, I mean young people as well.

Don't get me wrong, I have American friends, but many of them are also quite loud, and cringe when they see other Americans on holidays

Blood stains are hard to get out, and it seems silly to just throw out a shirt, blouse, pants or a skirt with only a small blood stain in same. Any solutions out there?

I want to learn basic party dances. No robot crap or bring-it-around-town. I want to learn the electric slide (no idea what a grapevine is) and 2 person slow dances, like you would see at a wedding between bride/groom, bride/groom's parents etc. Thanks!

Why does Yahoo! Answers star the word B,I,T,C,H, but allow four letter words and phrases such as "murdering cow" to pass. Ask because I used the first but had to change it to " murdering cow" when describing Myra Hindley?
