Ah, but that happens in private industry too. I can't tell you how many times my transaction has been put on "hold" because someone's electronic leash vibrates. That's just poor management and should be addressed everywhere.

But, I feel your pain. I've been there. One day, I actually had to restrain myself from grabbing someone's cell phone and throwing it at them. The other day in the Drs. office, the receptionist was chatting away on her cell phone, while asking me all the usual questions. It didn't seem to occur to her that I might not appreciate sharing my information with an unknown 3rd person or that at the very least it was rude. I really had no interest in her family issues.

Or when I was having my nails done that I might not appreciate the manicurist's daughter coming in and talking non-stop and demanding her mother's attention. It ended up taking over an hour for something that should have taken no more than 30 minutes, if the service provider had paid attention to what she was doing.
