European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - November 30, 1991, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Saturday november 30, 1991 the stars and stripes a Page 19 Ann Landers dear Ann Landers in this Era of technology when humans Are reduced to numbers on a computer rather than people with names Many employers Are desperately trying to achieve the a personal touch by instructing their receptionists to use first names. I find this appalling. A 75-year-old Man whose first name is Robert is not flattered when an 18-year-old kid opens a door shouts into a crowded reception room a Bob a and then looks around for someone she obviously does not know. Maybe i m old fashioned but i feel insulted when some Young kid Calls me by my first name. First names Are for close friends and family members. Don t Tell me to take my business elsewhere. They All do it. What has happened to manners have the barbarians taken Over please print my letter Ann. I know others must feel As i do. Insulted in Durham Calif. Dear Durham you Are right. Others do feel insulted when a Young person a stranger at that Calls them by their first name. It is rude and those who do it should be hauled up Short. Incidentally it s not always 18-year-Olds. Some older receptionists Are also guilty of this Gau Cherie. Dear Ann Landers Why is it that All kinds of noise is considered a Normal part of life and quiet is viewed As threatening today s crossword dear Abby dear Abby my Boyfriend and i have been seeing each other for a year and three months. We re serious about each other and i plan to move in with him eventually. He a seven years older than me divorced and has a daughter ill Call Suzy. He does t get to see her much which really hurts him. What bothers me is the picture he carries in his Wallet it s one of Suzy and his sex wife together. I could understand it if it was the Only recent picture he had of Suzy but he has others of just Suzy that were taken at the same time. Quite recently he found some pictures of other Guys stashed away in a drawer at my place. I knew it bothered him so i Tore them All up in front of him hoping it would make him realize that he is the Only one for me. Now i feel its his turn. He has other pictures of his a wife but the one in his Wallet bothers me the most. Should i ask him to get rid of that picture or just pretend it does no to bother me bugged dear bugged Don t ask him to get rid of that picture and done to pretend it does t bother you. Say nothing for the time being and if you and he Are Ever Man and wife that would be the proper time for you to ask him to please remove the picture of a that other woman Quot from his Wallet. Like it or not she will always be the Mother of his daughter so you can to demand that he erase her i refer to the Ever present Racket we put up with every Day for example the deafening warning signals of vehicles in reverse the ear piercing Boombox of the car next a to us in traffic and the insipid commercials and corny stuff we Are forced to Risteff Tophile on hold during Telephone conversations. There a music in elevators in shopping malls and even at the car Wash. Heaven forbid there should be a moment of silence. Are people so uncomfortable with their thoughts that they must be blasted out of their head by some external Force should the construction worker next door be allowed to wire his car Telephone to his Horn so it will blow when his phone rings does the restaurant in a commercial District have the right to play music so loud that it disturbs Home owners in a quiet residential area three blocks away must every saturday morning of my life be ruined by the Man next door blowing leaves for two hours directly under my bedroom window i know you can to do att thing a out this problem Ann but i had to express my frustration and Yot pare the perfect outlet. Thanks for being there. A faithful Reader in . Dear faithful what you have described is actually a form of pollution.
