[QUOTE="ikandiggit, post: 906562, member: 16269"]I love learning and teaching. I know how you feel, Chris. I find it far easier to teach the earlier generation (5-12) than kids in their teens or early twenties. I go through a lot of frustration at work with employees that don't know how to use the phone book, or don't know how to make change, or don't know it's rude to check your cell phone while taking food orders from a table of customers. (I actually had a server tell customers to "hold on" while she read a text message!) I don't mind helping a noobie with a question he may have. Some of them respect your time and effort and thank you for it and learn from it when shown where to get the information next time. The one's I have no patience for are the ones that will argue because the information they got wasn't what they wanted to hear. I'm getting old(er) and would rather spend my diminishing years sharing knowledge with those who will benefit from it than to waste my time with someone who wants to argue because of his own ignorance.[/QUOTE]
