  Speaker 1: 106.7 Light FM. Good morning.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: It is Jack and Nina, Columbus Day. Getting your day started.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: If you have to get up and do something.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: We did.
• 0:11
  Speaker 3: What is considered rude these days?
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: You know, I've been thinking a lot about that because
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: I seem to think, as you get older, that everyone
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: is getting ruder.
• 0:20
  Speaker 3: No one has manners anymore?
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: I don't think so. Oh, my gosh. You know what?
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: People are shocked if I hold the door open for them.
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: Oh.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: Men and women. I mean, if I'm there and they're
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: right behind me, I'll hold the door.
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: I get so annoyed when people don't hold the door.
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: Especially if you're going in a store. And someone lets
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: the door flap right in your face. Goodness gracious. That's rude.
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: You couldn't have held the door. So according to generational etiquette,
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: a survey of different generations, Gen X, millennials, boomers, Gen
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: Z all have different ideas about manners, what offends them.
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: Gen Z, the ultimate offense is being fake or calling
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: without texting first.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: Is that a thing for your kids?
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Absolutely.
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: For friends that I have in their 30s, I always text.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: First before I call them.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: I noticed my friends are doing that now.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: Are you available?
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: I do it to some people and some I don't,
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: but the younger the person, the more I do the
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: text first.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: I don't text my wife first, but that never goes
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: to that.
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: Well, it's your wife. Millennials seem to view rudeness as
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: disrespecting their time and expecting them to answer work messages
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: after hours.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: I'm agreeing with all of these so far.
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I have adopted a policy. I don't respond to
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: work emails except for an emergency on Sundays and Saturdays.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: That's a good idea. But you're here.
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: You're at work. But sometimes, you know, just someone will
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: email you something that's so useless. Why am I?
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: Oh, no, I don't respond to them.
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: Do you know what I mean? I am here, but
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: I don't count that.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: That doesn't include our producer, Kristen, though.
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: No.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: Just in case. I know she's listening, so we absolutely
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: top to bottom.
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: There's a few people.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: I even read your signature every single time you send
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: us something.
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: Gen X values efficiency and directness, so Gen X doesn't
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: like over-explaining. They don't like unnecessary meetings or over-sharing with
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: emotional stories.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: I'm going to wrap all of this up in one
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: neat package. What I find rude are people more selfish,
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: self-centered people. All of these things are about thinking of
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: yourself first.
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: Sure.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Are they not?
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: All of them is thinking of you first and not
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: the other person.
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: That's just a bad habit in general. Or that's the
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: way people are though now, right?
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: But that's sad, isn't it?
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: Everybody's waiting to talk instead of listening. I find that
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: to be true. You're telling a story and then they
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: jump in and then they keep going with their story
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: and it's like, Can we just finish what we're doing here?
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: And finally, I just want to get to boomers, by
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: the way, because my dad falls in this category. Boomers
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: are most likely to see people as rude if they
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: don't do handshakes, phone calls, or formal introductions. My dad
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: has had it with his nieces and nephews who don't
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: call him on holidays anymore.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: They should.
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: Because he's the top tier of the family now.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: He's the guy.
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: They don't call. He's like, I'm not calling them anymore.
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: That's my dad. Perfect.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: He's right.
