Rant

Preamble -- This is not in reference to an interaction with anyone I work with or actually know. But it's true.

Say you need or want someone to do something for you. What's the best way to deal with this situation?

A) Act as if the person you are dealing with is blowing you off or is completely inept.
B) Treat the person with respect and use your manners.

End of rant.

On a similar note, if you are sick of misbehavior at the movie theater, you will enjoy the movie manners courtesy cards at Glarkware.
