Living in New York, I've learned to get used to/accept/ignore this type of behavior. It is annoying though ;o)
I see what you're saying but I almost dislike it more when they're too chatty..
Sounds about right for maintenance men working in an office. Resentment maybe? I find there are always the nice cleaning ladies around here and then the ones who are like "harumph" about their work and it translates to everyone else.
I hate rudeness too!! I experienced one this morning too! I called my bank's customer service line to cancel a check and the girl was really rude, but I was my perky self so I was trying to be overly nice but she still didn't budge! I think she just got up on the wrong side of the bed! My thing is, if someone is being nice to you, be nice back, don't take out your anger/rudeness on someone else who isn't at fault!

So I'm at work right now (and of course on Wedding Bee).
Due to some recent thefts, they're changing all the doorknobs on our offices to ones that have locks on them. We got the e-mail about it a couple of weeks ago.
Just now this guy came into my office, and clanked down his tools and the new knob and screws on my desk. I said hello, and he proceeded to ignore me and change the knob on my door. He didn't say anything to me the whole time, and when he was finished he tossed the keys to me, gathered up his tools, and started for the door. I called out "Thanks" and he didn't respond.
Maybe he has a hearing problem or something, but my office isn't that large and I don't speak like a mouse, so I'm pretty sure he must have heard me.
I don't get it - I wasn't looking for extended conversation, just an acknowledgment (beyond the key toss like I'm the basket at some carnival game) that I'm sitting right there. A wave, maybe, or something. Ugh. I hate Wednesdays.
