I have been noticing birds at night
also. I did find out some owls don't sound like owls at all, so that might be one explanation, but it is very strange to be walking the dogs and having birds calling out. Or being in the house and coming outside at midnight to see why birds are squawking.

Glad someone is finally noticing!
Horrible experiences with "bothering" people who are supposed to be "working" but on the phone with personal calls, giving wrong info at doc's offices, etc. Now I get names, ask questions, "Where did you go to school?" You would be surprised! I do notice now in retail, people are pulling you in with service. Too late, I am keeping a journal after so much rudeness, I am sorry to say most docs don't get involved as long as the work gets done. I wish they would install nanny cams, they have a lot to learn about their staff. RUDE!

I'm noticing a trend with younger women..

I have co-worker who was wearing a sweater one day. The shoulder seem had come apart and she was upset. Said she was gonna just throw away the sweater. I was like...WHAT??? Why would you throw that away? Cause it's ripped she said.

I offered to bring it home and sew it for her. So last week, she brought the sweater in, along with a jacket that was losing its buttons.

She had no idea how to sew on a button.

I'm flabbergasted that people don't know basic sewing skills anymore. Don't they still teach home ec in school?

It took me all of 15 minutes to sew on 6 buttons and sew the seem on the sweater. Then she tells me yesterday that she's got some pants that the hem is ripped out on because she got her boot caught.

This may turn in to a full time mending career. LOL

But again, I just can't relate to the younger generation and their lack of basic skills. I know that's a generalization..sorry.

Anyone else noticing this phenomenon taking place?

This is just one instance of what I am referring to: I call for directions to a doctor's office and am given a route that takes me to the wrong side of town - by someone in office staff. Another, made appt with a doc's office and the day of appt not one thing about me was on the log for incoming calls nor did I have an appt.

Both girls were in early to mid 20s. Generation X. Could it be anger in the younger americans for what is yet to come in this country (taxes, jobs, loans, etc.)?

I thought it might just be me but others I have spoken with have noticed it as well. In summary, I suppose it is called "bad service" though I like the phrase "compassion fatigue" better in describing what appears to be taking place as the wrong information can really trip a person in the medical arena as appts are hard to get, getting off work is a challenge in this field and of course, I have a dx that needs follow up.
