Let’s behave and leave happily ever after
We all have got a lot of pet peeves. The biggest pet peeve though, is the lack of manners in today’s society.
I’m not an old fart who’s longing for the old days. I’m just your average, run of the mill 25 year old single and working woman, who is sick and bloody tired of the rudeness see every single day!!!
In the city where I live, the largest group of people who need a lesson in manners!!! We’ve got everyone from teenagers to seniors who refuse to live life happily with each other. It’s a city of robots who just love to earn more and more money. Men and women alike seem to have lost the ability to smile at one another in passing.
In light of this, I would like to offer a few quick tips for when you decide to venture out into the public and grace us with your presence.
1) The most important words in our dictionary are: Please, Thank You, You’re Welcome, Excuse Me (or Pardon Me) and I’m Sorry.
2) When you are walking on the sidewalk, and cross paths with someone, keep to the right. If there are two or more people walking together, please move into single file. It’s called “Footpath Manner”.
3) No matter what kind of a day you may be having, it does not give you the right to treat other people like crap. Paste a smile on your face and remember rule one.
4) People still do appreciate having the door held open for them. Try it – you may find the response you get could brighten up your own day!
5) The world is not your trash can. Among other things, nobody is interested in seeing your empty bottles, unused papers, banana skins, plastic bags, etc on the street.
6) Above all, remember that we are all here together for whatever time we may have. Treat each other (and our world) with the respect and dignity deserved by each. You may surprise at the positive effect it could have on yourself.
