what the hell ever happened to courtesy...is it really such a difficult thing to say thank you once in a while...or perhaps take that extra 3 or 4 seconds getting home and not cut someone off and then slam on your brakes...Or treat the person on the other end of the phone as a human being rather than assume my purpose in life is to be the recepticle for you lack of manners or that i dont have feelings too...i mean really, when did it become ok to treat people you dont know like we are personally responsible for every bad thing that has happened in your life...like i picked you out of a crowd at random and thought, hey, im gonna follow you for a few years and make sure nothing works right for you...so im sorry that you server isnt working right because there is a bug, or youre too damn lazy to read the manual...and im sorry that your boss is a raving lunatic and has threatened bodily harm to your entire family, but i didnt make it...i dont make huge profits from your misery...not even a little one for that matter...im just the poor slob that happens to understand how things work, because i amde an effort to...and i can speak to you in plain term rather than techie...so ease up a bit there....tell ya what, you treat me with a little respect or at least courtesy and your problem gets fixed quicker, and i dont have to go home and smoke pot for a couple of hours to keep from getting an ulcer or breaking shit to burn off the anger from putting up with crap like that for way too little money...see we both benefit that way...and you know what...i probably wont have any urge to be patronising or stick you at the bottom of my list...you know, it a strange world we live in...as a group the coolest strangers i come across are ravers...you fear them, dont like the way they look, or the drugs they do, and cant understand the music, but they are all about friendliness, respect and being happy(whoa, pretty suspicious concept there)...so they treat strangers like their friends...and you know what....they go home happy and more often than not with a new friend or two...so maybe all of you supposed adults out there, trying so hard to be what they tell you to be, why dont you take a deep breath, and remember that just because you dont know us we are still people too...give us the same respect and courtesy you want, wait, no demand...who knows, maybe you will be a little happier...a bit less tense...maybe if we are all really lucky, the world is a nicer place for all of us....you are never too old to learn from your children, or your peers
Peace
Love
Unity
Respect
