In today's technology driven world, the communication has just gone out the window. People text message their families when they are in the same house.

Just be thankful that you aren't getting e-mails from their Blackberrys when they are in their cars and the cars are still in the parking lot.

The way that I figure it, if I have less communication on a personal basis with sales, CSRs, pressman, clients and others, then I'm in a better mood.

Still, it would be nice to have them say hello and goodbye, but if that is the worst thing that happens to you in a day, count yourself as being blessed.

I usually respond with an answer even if they don't say anything. eg when someone walks in of a morning with no greeting I say "yeah good thanks" as they walk past. I get some lovely looks with that one. But my philosophy is "Ignorance breeds Arrogance.

Inspirational.

Take note of the people that leave without saying g'bye. Once everyone has left, take a dump in each person's top drawer. Then get on their PC and send nasty emails between them. Ie. dickhead1 emails dickhead2 and vice versa. That way, you'll get them all agro at each other and everyone will think they go around shitting in each others drawers.

This whole experience will surely humble them to the level of a lowly prepress person and they'll start saying good night.

Simple fix.

Not exactly. I just saw a poo reference and thought it a nice segway to some toilet humor. Any relevance to anything, or any underlying cleverness is entirely accidental.

Not a "stab" it's the "truth". I'm still wondering when will he get it? I guess you never will and thats a shame.
