Random rant: Why can't people read or follow instructions?

^^ LOL! This made me laugh with a toothbrush in my mouth (yes, I brush my teeth as I walk around the house and do all sorts of crap). Why is it that many women seem to think they shouldn't need to read the officer manuals and guides that the sorority paid to produce as a resource?

The same thing happens with voicemail greetings. Just because you take the time to list your office hours in your greeting, doesn't mean people are going to listent to it (they're probably just waiting for the voice to stop talking so they can start). Then they wonder why they don't get an immediate response after having left you a message after your stated hours.

While we're complaining...ONE of my (many) pet peeves is people that leave a vacation or out of the office message stating they will be back in the office on Monday, and when I call the following Wednesday, they are still using that message.
