I have to agree with this post. I'd have to say that 99% of the folks we've met have been warm and friendly. But the other small % do stick in my mind with their being brusk, in a hurry and down-right rude. First impressions stick! Maybe it's because this type of behavior is shocking, especially when the other majority are NOT this way. I'd say these folks have always been this way...something about "entitlement". I'd not lump it to the "birds" because I'd have to say I've seen it when they aren't here yet. I don't think the original poster was "stirring the pot"...just asking a question due to their observance.
