10. People who burp out loud or break wind in the presence of others.
9. Newspaper carriers who deliver the "morning" paper after six a.m.
8. Automated telephone calls.
7. Store managers who open only one or two check-out lines when several more are obviously needed to take care of customers.
6. People who avoid looking you in the eye, especially when you are paying them for a product or service.
5. People who drive through your neighborhood and throw their fast food trash, beer bottles, or cigarette butts out their window.
4. Verizon Wireless customer service (you pay them an insurance fee on your monthly bill but, if you have a problem, you have to deal with the insurance company; "we don't handle that").
3. Parents who allow their children to misbehave in public.
2. Parents who yell, scream, beg, plead, cajole, bribe or hit their misbehaving children in public.
And the number one most egregious act insensitivity I've experienced lately is ...
1. Officials at the North Carolina State Medical Examiner's office who leak autopsy information to the press (The Mount Airy News) before (or without) first informing the family members of the deceased.
