This post is going to be a little bit of a rant.
I apologize in advance.
But it need to be said.
WHAT THE HELL HAS HAPPENED TO COMMON COURTESY!!!!
It seem in the last week I have seen a barge of overly rude people. Not the I'm distracted by kids so I am not paying attention and I should have said thank you to the nice person who held the door but by the time I herded my kids in the right direction the person was gone. No its a total lack of manners of any kind.
And I am tired of it!!!
So please everyone start saying "Please", "Thank You" and "Your Welcome" at every occasion. When in doubt if you should say it just say it.
Spending a few extra seconds to hold the door for someone will not make you late for whatever you are doing.
If you notice someone drops something or their child does at the very least bring it to their attention better yet pick it up and give it to them.
If you are wrong apologize!!! It doesn't make you weak it makes you strong and dont blame others take responsibility for your errors.
And finally SMILE at people when you are about town, those permanent scowls have got to go.
Don't even get me started on cell phone etiquette.
Having short, sweet interactions with strangers is always a lovely addition to a day!
