Mind your Manners.

edited August 2008 in Social Entropy++
So, I work as a consultant. I was also raised by people who tend to have a basic understanding of what not to do in certain social situations.

Being on the phone, if I were say, hungry, I'd at best nibble in between talking and fixing shit. What I wouldn't do is subject my client to my munchings as I have a mute button. If I didn't, I'd starve until I was off the phone.

For some reason, it's something some people in my client base cannot grasp. I'd also say, 90% of these people are women. I just wish I wasn't sitting so close to my boss so I could tell them that they're disgusting and probably fat with smelly ginas.

So, if you're on the phone, don't start chewing you fucking retard. There's a microphone right by your mouth amplifying that sound in your skull by a factor of 10 you inconsiderate cuntrags.

So, what sets you off into a blargaboo rage?

    I am pretty obsessive about being polite.

    Which is why I'm not very good at flirting with girls at bars. I don't want to interrupt their conversations, you know?

    Hmm. I work through my lunchbreak and so eat at my desk as I'm the only receptionist and also usually the only person available to answer phones. So sometimes the phone is ringing and ringing and I just happen to have taken a bite of my sandwich and no one else is picking up the phone. So I'll excuse anyone else who eats. I do try not to chew while I'm on the phone, only this means that sometimes my speech does sound as if I have something in my mouth if it's too big to swallow.

    More pleases and thank yous really wouldn't go amiss in the world.

    Yeah two of my friends will answer their mobiles when we're in the middle of dinner

    They don't do it at the cinema, for which I am grateful, but pretty much anywhere else at any time seems to be fair game :|

    I don't always flush if I just took a leak because that's a waste of water.

    Also who the hell knows what another persons toilet flush-capabilities are? Not me. Too prone to disaster.

    Well maybe if holding a door open was standard behaviour

    Which it seems to be around here

    Whoever goes through the door first holds the door open for someone behind them and sometimes people say thanks but most of the time the person holding the door open doesn't turn around but merely lets go once they feel someone else grab the door

    In that case I don't expect to give/receive a thank you, it's not a totally deliberate gesture but more force of habit as it should be
