Please and Thank you=Difficult to say?!

Well...it is definitely troublesome and unmannerly behaviour when you do a favour to other,and you don't get even a thankyou for that...Or a please or a sorry in other occassions.I mean it doesn't take anything from you if you just speak out these words.Infact,by saying such kind words or even a smile does make your relationship a much better one.

It definitely drives me crazy. Like you, I was brought up being taught my manners, discipline and respect. If someone does something kind, you thank them; if you have done something wrong or incorrect, you apologise; if you ask for someone to do something, make sure you ask and say please, as well as thanking them afterwards. I refuse to believe that people don't learn or know manners and politeness anymore, I just feel that they believe themselves to be above something so 'petty'. Both adults and youths - and not every body of course... There's the minority who still know common courtesy. It certainly drives me nuts, and I will always politely pull someone up on it if they are in polite or rude. We should all know better. =D

People aren't taught manners anymore. It's not an opinion. It's an observable, gaugeable and verifiable fact. Walk into any fast food restaurant and see how bratty and mouthy the staff is, regardless of age. Watch how many doors close in your face because no one holds them anymore. But aside from any of that, there is one absolute, irrefutable piece of evidence that proves my argument to be an undeniable fact: rudeness at the movies. Go to the movies and see if you can hear the movie over the conversation going on two rows back, the cell phone conversations flanking you on both sides and the screaming babies that people who can afford $10 for a movie ticket and another $12 for eight kernels of popcorn and a dixie cup of their favorite soda and yet can't scrounge up the scratch to pay a babysitter insist on subjecting you to, refusing to take it out because they paid for their ticket too, dammit, and are subsequently determined to see every minute of the movie irrespective of how it encroaches on your right to the stress-free night out for which you also have paid, possibly financed at 18.25%.
