What do you guys think about people not replying?

[Zeroed]

PMs, posts, sometimes SMS (but this one has doubts since its possible to not have received it), calls, or promises of getting back to you, etc...

Honestly I often get very angry at people who dont bother to reply a serious (or even leisure) enquiry. Ive had it happened to me a few times already, over like the past 2 years. What, are their time worth more than mine or something?

Obviously there are jokers which people may be inclined to not reply to, but unless its obviously a time waster I think its extremely rude to not bother replying people who make an effort to contact you. Whether the deal is on your side or not.

I for example will not even hang up on telemarketers on the phone just like that. I will atleast tell them that I am not interested and they are simply wasting their time. Or I will not intentionally not reply a person.

I dont get the attitude of not acknowledging the existence of someone else, what more someone who's gotten in touch with you. Its just plain rude, and shows that you think that you are more important than others. Would you not be bothered to reply a message from, say, a supermodel friend of yours, the Prime Minister, etc? Why not the others (with the exception of jokers with nonsense)?

Do humans have to benefit in some way in order to communicate with someone? Whats with the " no need to waste time " attitude of some people, I wonder?

On a seperate note, I went to Australia for a visit recently, and why, it made me very disappointed in Malaysia. Even the cashier at 7-Eleven greets you warmly when you make a purchase. People whom you interact with are nice and polite 95% of the time, despite you being a stranger...



What do you guys think?
If I sound angered and cheong hei (longwinded) typing this, Im not, I just want to know what you think. :)
And perhaps knock a few senses into some people who read this.

Normally i classifies these ppl as No Manners! Always treat ppl like how you wanna be treated!Seriously i do faced the same things such as no reply for the sms'es even calls. Make me look so stupid. When they managed to reply/answer, they'll give thousand of excuses to cover themselves.Example of excuses such as
1) my phone was on silent mode.
2) i left my phone at home when i was out just now.
3) i left my phone somewhere in the house.
4) "yameh,u got call me meh"?

If really don't wanna reply some1 sms'es or even calls, please reply in a courtesy way that you would like to end the conversations.:angry_smile:

TREAT PPL LIKE HOW YOU WANNA BE TREATED.

Just my few cents...

 

[SataniC]

[2zzge]

[Zeroed]

Micheal85: Atleast they got get back to you.... sometimes people dont even bother to call back... that one I get really dulan about. So true la to * treat others how you want to be treated. *

Satanic: Thats evil (Although i did try something similar before XD)

2zzge: Happened to me before also. :(

Zeroed, maybe u just met the wrong ppl..? It reli depends la on the ppl n their attitude, or what they're taught .. Some ppl at 7-11s around here r cheerful n friendly too .. some are just so dead or lanci. In the wee hours of the morning i masuk projet at DJ some malay guy was like "selamat pagi!" hahaha.. i'll juz smile n nod. feels welcoming..

But if its about business ppl who dun reply u coz they think ur not a potential customer, then thats fucked up ..

 

[Zeroed]

Yeah nitrus I dont mean everyone is like that. Ive met plenty of nice people in Malaysia also, but have met my fair share of dead logs as well. I meant that in Aus almost everyone is nice and extraordinarily friendly. :)


Bout those people that dont reply in sales dealings, yeah too bad lah I guess.

 

[nitrus]

Aust is lovely man i love that place. Gonna visit that place again.. Damn chilling place...

Maybe coz we're foreigners so they treat us nice.. Same goes as maybe we treat foreigners extra nice n more attentive.. lolzz...

 

[satria_95]

What I think? Malaysian attitude. Cos I'm only mostly in Malaysia, that's why. haha

 

[Duke Red]

Malaysians in general lack common courtesy and manners. It applies to every aspect of our lives. This is the problem with having a closed door mentality. We tend to want to keep out the negative elements of other countries but while doing so, we also keep out any positive elements. Due to this lack of exposure, there is no benchmark of the majority of our society. They don't realise they are being rude or impolite.

 

[PocketRocket]

good post jason....frankly i think its something we're lacking in this country....courtesy, no matter who you are.

im sure anyone in this country has not received a reply or call back at least once...
im even betting my statement on vip's n chairmens.if not work related,its family/leisure related.

in aus u even get strangers asking to sit next to you n start a small talk conversation.real friendly peeps.if u'd do anything like that here,the girls or guys would prolly think ur trying to get lucky n hit on the person...haah~!

p/s.im sure jerry has done it before....ahakz~!!

I was in Perth for a year and a half. Unfortunately it was during the time when that xenophobic bitch, Pauline Hanson was spouting her one race mumbo jumbo. As Perth is in West Oz, you got some racist cunts. The majority of the people though are as you say, really friendly and sociable. I could walk into a pub and make friends over night. Here people tend to keep to themselves and act tough as if to intimidate surrounding groups. I liken it to how a dog pisses on the floor to mark his territory.

 

[-fRëɧt¥£3R-]

but if we support a similar club..it makes it a whole lot easier :p

 

[Duke Red]

which club would that be? the perth wildcats?

 

[-fRëɧt¥£3R-]

Liverpool F.C. :p

 

[NOSkill]

Well, I'm this kind of ppl who doesn't often reply sms. I'll ignore the following sms:
1.) Where are you??
2.) What are you doing??
3.) Are you free tonight??
4.) You heard about what happened to ah beng??

If you need to ask something, call me and ask. For sms 1, 2 and 3, they often just wanna ask if you have any activity currently. They can actually go ahead and ask instead of the stupid greeting.

p/s.im sure jerry has done it before....ahakz~!!

Duke Red,
Oh... you got nabbed, Jerry. PockyRocky caught you red handed liao. hehehe But really, yeah. I've experienced it many times myself when people don't reply, be it a call or sms or whatever. But well, in a way, we also can't teach them how to be a better human or teach `em courtesy cos these stuff should come natural, if only they used that little bit of their grey matters. When that happens to me, what I'll tell myself is, "well, I'm of no authority to tell `em what to do so it's up to them what they wanna do to me. So long it doesn't affect my life, then let them portray themselves as how they wanna be looked as"
heh heh By the way, where are you from ar? Your area got nice food ar? hehehe

 

[Zeroed]

Yeah man, Aus is a very the nice place to live... I went to Melb for about a month and... ah how I miss the place la. Even if you woke up one day with a bad mood, the person behind the counter at the breakfast bar may just cheer you up. But yeah of course you dont escape from racism anywhere, even in Aus. Very rare cases though.

Well as some of you said, I guess Malaysians have a long way to go when it comes to courtesy...


Noskill: I hope you made it a point to them that you dont like relpying smses then...
Else its really your fault, since sms so hangat and convenient recently.

sorry; but there's still occasion whereby U might not answer the call, ok it might not be for everyone but I might not answer a call under this circumstance:

1)I've told u before I'm not interested (or said no to your request); but u still keep calling me....
- I know what you're about to ask and I said no before; why still bother?!.....
- This type of ppl for the first few call I might still entertain. After that; pardon me for my lack of courtesy. But obviously once in a while would still answer (depending on mood).
