Is common courtesy dead?

This must be a sign of the times or that I am not moving fast enough for them.

Today I got a call from a connection who asked me a question. Once I answered the question, before I could react, the line was dead. I guess I fulfilled their requirement.

Whatever happened to “goodbye”?

Common courtesy, Emily Post style, I suppose is dead in this hectic, want-it-now, wired society. We crave/want/need/demand attention/information/satisfaction and then we’re done.

Why?

I, for one, hope this practice dies a quick death. What better way to hack off and alienate your network than to cut them off as if they were stale bread from yesterday. In other words, think long and hard about how you treat people or they won’t be around to be treated.

Relentless
