That I can live with....lol Mine is parents who aren't able to keep their kids straight & make their arrangements ahead of time...they expect the office staff to be their personal secretaries & constantly deliver messages to their kids. (Can you tell I work in a school?)
I have a problem with people who are messaging with me and 14 other people at the same time. It's such a waste of time. I'll talk to you and if someone else calls me, I ignore them, but remember to get back to them later. I just think it's rude to leave someone waiting for a response while you're chatting with someone else
If I had to pick one it would be the lack of common courtesy among my fellow human beings. How hard is it to say please, thank you, sir, your welcome and such? Makes me wonder if I'm just asking for too much sometimes.
In July '08 handhelds while driving get banned here in CA. While a number of studies have shown that hands-free is just as distracting, I'll be a whole lot less annoyed on the road.
precisely why I don't do the "chatting" aka "Im ing thing" I find it lacks the mannerability of days past...so I accept the slower more direct forms of communication (phone, letter, etc)so full attention can be given to the communication
