To the cranky old guy visiting the office:
For the betterment of everyone around you, I wish I could tell you how disrespectful your gruff attitude and lack of patience are to the people trying to help you. If you want to see someone, you can use a whole sentence instead of barking your name and the other person’s name.
Similarly, when you call and then ask for a person’s cell phone number you don’t have to take it as a personal affront if that information is not provided to you. Just because someone has a cell phone and works for a company, does not give you the unassailable right to call them up whenever you like. If you’re as close as you think, then you should already have the cell phone number or ask for it the next time you get together. Since you’re bosom pals and all.
Thanks,
The office staff who put up with you
