why does it bother me so much to be addressed by my first name by strangers?
i read an article today in the news paper on how it's more common, in this day and age, to address individuals by their first name instead of their last. the last name is typically kept private.
why is that?
personally i would rather be addressed as Mr. Shaw, dude or even hey you than Frank.
perhaps it was my upbringing, but if some one doesn't know me i'd rather they not use Frank.

There is something about the hyper-personal age that somehow makes it less personal.
