Didn't Your Momma Teach You Manners???

Technology is what it is . For better or worse we're stuck with it and if we have any sense at all, we learn to co-exist with it both peaceably and gracefully. But for all the varied and useful ways it can enhance our lives, for some reason technology seems to equally sap any pretense of manners completely away from some people. I may simply be confusing this with the fact that these people had no manners to begin with but I don't recall such "across-the-board" rudeness in days past. I'm sorry you don't have a full for bars of coverage. I'm sorry your wireless network repeatly drops your calls. I'm sorry I'm not your "family or friend" and your call to me is eating up your precious minutes. However, when you call me for information that is to benefit you, please afford me the courtesy of a Thank You & Goodbye as opposed to a "CLICK!" before I can offer you any explantion beyond a simple yes or no answer to your question. Furthermore, why are you so anxious to hang up on someone as famous as me?? Do you have any idea at all whom you are speaking to?? I'm THE last person on the face of the earth who doesn't have a cell phone!!!!
