The Lack of Listening

That is one thing that bugs me.
When people do not listen.

When has it become 'good' to 'not' listen?
When is it more important to talk amongst yourselves instead of listening to the speaker(s)?

It really bugs me when that happens, especially when instructions are being given.
You can always tell those who don't listen,
For one, they might ask the very question that the speaker just answered.
Two, they will take the wrong number of items the speaker said to take.
Three they'll ask the speaker the same question again, even when its been answered three times before.

Ugh. I really dislike people who can not follow instructions.
Its not that hard.
Look up, pay attention to the speaker and put the electronic device away.

I have always wondered what is so important about the 'outside world' that you cannot pay attention to the 'inside' world where your body is in the now.

I just don't understand it.
Perhaps its because I was raised under the ideology to respect your 'elders/peers/adults' pay attention to what they say and actually listen to what they say so you can have a conversation that actually means something.

The Lack of Listening..........
What important information can you be missing because your ears have been turned off?

Until you next read these words;
I'll be watching the leaves.
Enjoy the day!
