Do you encounter rude and impatient people everywhere you go

HAHAHAHA!!!

I work tech support, and am subjected to this all the time from callers. I don't care about the story, tell me what I can do to help you. The faster you can do that the faster I can help.

LOL, I am SO BAD at feigning patience (also, I can't fake empathy, ever, and this exacerbates my basic impatience) on the phone.

The temptation to just hang up on callers who get passive-aggressive, or belligerent, or just plain rude and abrupt... nearly irresistible, some days.

Seriously, babe, if you wrote the book, I would buy it.

[soberloki]

Heh. Maybe someday I'll get off my butt and do it.

I can't stand the type of people who need to tell a story full or odd information in order to ask a question that has nothing to do with anything they said.

EXACTLY.

I really do prefer my interactions to be polite and specific. So much simpler.
