Hang Up

I might have mentioned before that I work in customer service. Yeah. Anyway, I had an interesting day today. I rarely get hung up on...I mean, like once every several months or so by some self important moron with a blackberry (Sorry-I know a lot of great people that use Blackberries and they do NOT think that they are of a different class). Today I got hung up on by like 10 people. All of them were rude, pushy, condescending, A-holes. I know that our economy sucks and life sucks when you are poor, and the work is hard, but people!!! You need to be nice. There is no reason not to be courteous, even when you are irritated.
Being a decent human being 101:

Slow down. Are you delivering a kidney?!!

Accept the blame. It probably is your fault. Just say "I'm sorry".

Say "Thank you" or "You're welcome" and "Please" and "Excuse me".

Stop with your sarcasm. It's not funny anymore!

Consider that there are OTHER people with THEIR OWN feelings.

Try to accommodate other people and their needs just a little bit!

Do NOT tailgate!

Look strangers in the eye and SMILE.

Start nice because it can get ugly.

Hold yourself accountable for your actions.

Having a rough day? Be nice anyway! Better than acting like a child!

YOU ARE NO MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE NEXT PERSON!

Be nice to strangers!

SLOW DOWN!!!

YOU'RE NOT MORE ENTITLED!!!

NONE OF US ARE "ROCK STARS".

WE ARE EQUALS!!!
