Cell Phones Rudeness
Any theories on MySpace users often being rude?
I work in a small library and we have only 6 public computers. Only 2 of these computers are unfiltered (meaning only 2 can get on MySpace). There is a huge demand for the computers and I would bet 85% of people who come in to use the computers are here to check their MySpace accounts (not many Facebooks or the like, but MySpace). This is fine but they are loud, rude, their cell phones are going off and they try to talk on them (despite the giant signs next to the computer that you don’t even have to be able to read to understand since it’s a cellphone with a line through it), and give total attitude and even cuss us out under their breath when their time is up and someone else is waiting.
Any theories? MySpace and rudeness seem to possess an inherent connection.
Myspace and rudeness? Try humanity and rudeness?
It’s an inherent human quality to lack the moral values to appreciate living in a nation where devastating violence doesn’t harm a large portion of the population. Even if this is posted from a place where that does occur there are still no more moral values with one’s life on the line.
If one stops to realize how society around the world is crumbling one would come to appreciate life enough not to waste it holding themselves high on a pedestal where they don’t belong.
Hang in there and if possible enforce the rules a bit harder, kick people out for that sort fo behavior. I mean people like that don’t deserve courtesy anymore than they show it.

The perceived rudeness of public cell phone behavior. $69.00 Three studies were conducted to answer the question of why the use of a cell phone in public space is considered rude. The first study focused on what correction should be made to the average decibel (dB) level of a cell phone conversation. The second study took place covertly in a public setting and found that after controlling for certain variables, cell phone users talk (on average) 1.899 dBs l… |
