I have a somewhat related story/rant, again middle to late aged generation. The other day, I was car dealership getting my car serviced. I had a phone interview that day, and I went into a open cubicle (i.e. 3 walls) to chat. Now to give you an orientation of the building, there was a waiting room (4 seats filled out of 12) for people to read and such, there was a coffee room, and the general show room with the open cubicals on the other side of the showroom to the waiting area. In that area by the open cubicals were a few chairs that nobody was sitting in. Outside was a major road with heavy traffic.

Anyways, when my interviewer called, I went into the cubical to do my phone interview, facing the corner to try not to disturb the nobodys who were around me. 20 minutes into my interview, an old women (approx 65) comes to sit in a chair closest to the cubicle (note: waiting area still quite vacant) to read. 5 minutes later, during my interview, she loudly asks "hey can you talk outside?"

Lets back this truck up, so I'm on the phone obviously not talking about random (it was pure technical talk), I was standing farthest away from the waiting area possible and facing a corner in a adjacent cubical, and its loud outside. Old bitch comes to sit closest to the cubicle I'm talking in. Outside is loud with heavy traffic.

Later on, I'm sitting in a corner seat reading a magazine, and the main walk-out of the area is 2 seats away and un-occupied. The same women walks up to me and says "excuse me" to try and take a short cut out, saving herself about 6 steps at the inconvenience of someone else. I was still a little pissed off from her previous comment during my interview, so I look at her like "are you serious," give a disgusted grunt and ignore her request.

Rudeness and self-entitlement goes for all people and generations
