Agreed, I'm always amazed at the people who think they need to YELL into their cell phones. With some of them you wonder why they don't just step outside, they're loud enough no phone is needed. As long as I am fairly quiet (Conversational tone) and relatively brief, what's the beef? Usually I find out what they want and promise to call back within the hour.

We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.
