無禮的行為

Rude Behaviors- Are You an Offender? (tammyswallow)

There is more to rude behavior than just the frustration people feel day to day. Many factors influence a person's aptitude to be rude including a disposition to be impatient, not feeling as if they are being listened to, or being in a hurry- but the behavior all boils down to one thing:

People who are rude generally don't care about other people!

It is a sad but true fact. Our humanity is lost in the hustle and bustle of every day life. People are rushed, stressed, tired and taking it out on their fellow man. Here is a list Rude Behaviors:

Being noisy: Whether from your car, your home stereo, or in your yard, it is rude to blast loud music. Pulling into a gas station where two or more cars are blasting their bass is very irritating for all.

Cutting in Lines: It happens in the grocery store, public events, and amusement parks. No one is amused. Those who skip others in line think they are more important and have a sense of entitlement that makes them think they are below waiting their turn.

Not Returning Your Shopping Cart: This should be a simple thing to do but parking lots are full of un-returned shopping carts. When you think about how lazy we have become as a nation, such primitive things explain the obesity rate in the United States.

Barking Dogs (and neighbors who let their pets destroy your trash): Anyone who has been kept up all night by a barking dog can understand this entry. Parents with babies particularly find barking dogs to be irritating.

Bad Table Manners: Formal dining is no longer standard in the USA, but people should have respectable table manners. Elbows should be kept off tables. No one should reach over the table for food or expose a dinner guest to an armpit. Slurping, smacking, and chewing with one's mouth open is offensive.

Cutting Off Others in Traffic: Many people think their needs to get their destinations are more important than the safety of everyone on the road. Others get frustrated with bad drivers and are just trying to get away. Safety on the highways is more than good manners, it keeps everyone safe. Monitor your own driving so frustrated drivers won't have to cut in front of you.

Not Using a Turn Signal- Refusing to signal a left or right handed turn is not only rude and lazy, it is illegal in most states in the U.S. Using a turn signal only takes a minimal "flick" but yet, more and more drivers are refusing to use this system of communication with other drivers. Sadly, using the turn signal benefits the one who is turning left or right from being rear-ended or side swiped on a busy highway.

Being Late- Sure, life happens and sometimes we are all late for something. Those who habitually come to work late daily with the same excuse over and over are rude and hurt the morale of the office. Most people are understanding of lateness if they are notified by phone. Not calling to say you will be late is rude behavior. For those who are habitually late for meetings, family gatherings, dates, and work, it is strongly recommended you set all of your clocks at home ahead 15 minutes.

Improper Cell Phone Use: Acts reported as "rude" are on the rise since the popularity of the cell phone. It is rude to text someone else while having a conversation with others, talking on your cell phone during meals, DRIVING while texting or calling, browsing the Internet during dates and dinners, and answering a cell phone call while attending to other business.

10 Tips for Staying Happy at Work  By  Beverly West, Monster Contributing Writer

If you find yourself longing for greener work pastures, don't immediately go looking for the first exit ramp off of your chosen career path. The Balance Team, which specializes in professional- and personal-growth seminars for administrative and executive assistants in Fortune 1000 companies, suggests these 10 tips for staying content at work:

Keep Personal Problems Personal

When you're preoccupied with personal issues, it's difficult to concentrate or be happy at work, says Alison Rhodes, a founding partner of The Balance Team. By all means, make sure you have your kids covered in the event of an emergency, but realize that nobody's personal life is ever going to be completely problem-free. Just as you need to let go of work to enjoy your time at home, it's important to leave personal worries at home so you can focus and be productive at work.

Develop an Office Support System

"Gathering a circle of colleagues who share similar backgrounds or lifestyles can take a lot of pressure off you at work," says Rhodes. "When you are able to voice your feelings to people who understand, it can really help minimize stress.

Eat Healthy and Drink Lots of Water

"Maintaining a good diet and keeping yourself properly hydrated throughout your workday can really make a big difference in your energy level and attitude," says Shirly Weiss, a certified holistic health and nutritional counselor and consulting expert for The Balance Team. "And if you can manage to maintain a diet of whole foods, as opposed to refined foods such as sugar and bread, then you'll really be ahead of the game.

Be Organized

Create a manageable schedule to handle your workload, suggests Stacy Raden, a founding partner of The Balance Team. "A sense of empowerment stems from accomplishment," she says. "When you feel overwhelmed, it tends to intensify dissatisfaction. By being proactive and taking control, employees can feel a sense of satisfaction, enhanced confidence and motivation.

Move Around

"Working in an office can be a very sedentary job, so it's especially important to your overall sense of health and happiness to take a few minutes during your workday to get up and move a little," says Jason Bergund, founding director of Dancetherapy, a dance class, and a consulting expert for The Balance Team.

Take a Breather

"In yoga, we practice the breath of joy, in which we inhale a long breath and then exhale laughter," says Sarah Schain, founding director of Yoga Tales studios for children and a consulting expert for The Balance Team. Stand with your feet together and your arms at your sides. Inhale deeply, then exhale laughter and bend forward. Try to do this movement 10 times.
