I know...I know.....

Just try to be patient with those people. As we say in the South: "Some people just weren't raised rrriiiiiiiightttt."

This goes back to the whole subjectivity of "awkward aspirant."

Is it just basic manners, is it based on subtle hints or overtness (is that a word?), GLO-specific protocol, should they be psychic and know that MexicanMami wants them to formally ask "is this a good time," etc...
