Our society is open ...You are being over critical. Our society is open and free and they had every right to meet at a Starbucks. Don't you own an iPod? I think it is rude that you listened to their conversation.<br /><br />It bothers me when I go into a place like Starbucks and people are working. It makes me feel I have to be quiet. Can't people like you afford an office or work from home?<br /><br />As for them leaving without putting the chairs back, if it bothered you then YOU should have moved the chairs back into place. Come on, we all know there are hired people at Starbucks who come and straighten up.<br /><br />Obviously I am joking... people like those women are not just a symptom of why society is breaking down, they are the cause. It is called SELFISH.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11195787.post-82255746782296638532009-05-01T11:43:00.000-05:002009-05-01T11:43:00.000-05:00I've noticed similar behavior when I am out walkin...I've noticed similar behavior when I am out walking. People who are in large groups walking together seem to forget that there are other people on the same path or sidewalk. Without a care in the world, groupthink seems to take over the awareness that there are other folks on the planet.<br /><br />Many years ago, I was at a retreat and about 10 of us went for a walk on a local bike path. I was mortified when the people I was walking with would not move to one side so that people coming toward us could walk past or bike past.<br /><br />I mentioned several times that we should allow room for others on the path and the rest of the group chose to ignore my request. It kind of ruined the rest of the retreat for me because these people that I was spending time with had suddenly shown how disrespectful they could be toward others who were not in our group. <br /><br />After my third request to be courteous went unheaded, I turned around and left them and walked back to the hotel on my own.<br /><br />Like you, stuff like that really does make me sad.Zita Gustinhttp://www.thesavvynetworker.comnoreply@blogger.com
