    is it just me ...

    or are people being extra rude lately? I was traveling this weekend and ran into two people in the airport who were incredibly mean to some of the service employees and made one of them cry, and i just had a woman call me and yell at me for a situation that i'm trying to fix for her and and apparently i'm not doing it fast enough (mind you it's been less than 24 hours)! holy crap dude! i am about done with rudeness this week! i actually lost my patience with the patient today because i've seen so much of it lately. maybe this 6 day a week schedule is getting to me *sigh*

    Awww! Sorry to hear you've been surrounded by them. Just when I get a string of bad luck, there is always someone who comes around and totally makes up for the "bad" stuff and my faith in humanity in once again restored, albeit temporarily,haha

    It's a possibility that you are witnessing a combination of pre-election jitters, and recession fatigue.


    Here's a big cross-border hug for you!()

    I believe your full moon is tomorrow. I find that people start to act up when the full moon aproaches. Hugs!

    we are a society of Screen-Agers, preferring to interface with a smart phone or a laptop, we are losing social skills and graces rapidly.
    Also the economy is in the toilet. People are more stressed.
    just kill 'em with kindness and smile. Some of them will "get it".

    I think you are on the money with this. I don't remember being so on edge...
