I guess one of the things that prompted me to speak up is that I am so sick and tired of the me, me, me first mentality that seems to abound these days. Her holier-than-thou attitude towards everyone was what really got me going. She offered no explanation or, at the very least, an apology for being late, but simply began berating the staff for not just running her right in. It was as if they should be GRATEFUL that she bothered to show up at all.

Most times, I too, would not say anything.
There is no question that I agree with everything you were THINKING, especially the me, me, me attitude of many. My point was that actually SAYING it could have a neutral outcome at best, and a significant confrontation at worst. There was a (theoretically) professional and experienced professional there handling it, it just doesn't make sense to get involved. After all, if there is a rabid raccoon in your garage, do you try to capture it when an animal control officer is standing right next to you?
