PMs, posts, sometimes SMS (but this one has doubts since its possible to not have received it), calls, or promises of getting back to you, etc...
Honestly I often get very angry at people who dont bother to reply a serious (or even leisure) enquiry. Ive had it happened to me a few times already, over like the past 2 years. What, are their time worth more than mine or something?
Obviously there are jokers which people may be inclined to not reply to, but unless its obviously a time waster I think its extremely rude to not bother replying people who make an effort to contact you. Whether the deal is on your side or not.
I for example will not even hang up on telemarketers on the phone just like that. I will atleast tell them that I am not interested and they are simply wasting their time. Or I will not intentionally not reply a person.
I dont get the attitude of not acknowledging the existence of someone else, what more someone who's gotten in touch with you. Its just plain rude, and shows that you think that you are more important than others. Would you not be bothered to reply a message from, say, a supermodel friend of yours, the Prime Minister, etc? Why not the others (with the exception of jokers with nonsense)?
Do humans have to benefit in some way in order to communicate with someone? Whats with the " no need to waste time " attitude of some people, I wonder?
On a seperate note, I went to Australia for a visit recently, and why, it made me very disappointed in Malaysia. Even the cashier at 7-Eleven greets you warmly when you make a purchase. People whom you interact with are nice and polite 95% of the time, despite you being a stranger...
What do you guys think?
If I sound angered and cheong hei (longwinded) typing this, Im not, I just want to know what you think. :)
And perhaps knock a few senses into some people who read this.
