Dear Terrible Mannered
People:
Having good manners used
to be valuable in this country. Saying please, thank you, and excuse me, were
kind words that go you where you wanted to be. Now, you people choose to ignore
each other, look past one another and keep your mouths shut. You are all
annoying entitled people. You are all the worst people I have ever met!
When we cross paths in a
tight isle, I will move… if you say excuse me. Although, if you don’t I will
continue to ignore you. I’m not being rude, you are. Saying “excuse me, may I
pass through,” would NOT kill you. It would do you a lot better than not saying
anything at all.
If I don’t see you, don’t
grab at the peppers in front of me. Instead, please let me know that you’re
trying to reach for the fresh vegetables as well. I can make both our lives
more pleasant when you and I communicate. We are all trying to get in and out
of Trader Joe’s as smoothly as possible. I shouldn't have to say “sorry” for
parking my cart in front of me while I get some yummy asparagus because you are
impatient. You should ask me to “can you please move over so I too can reach
the asparagus”.
When you ask me to get
something for you, I have no problem doing it. Just and thank you at the end.
It would get you a lot further than acting like you’re entitled to my services.
Having bad manners leaves others in a bad mood.
When I hold the door open
for you, don’t just ignore me please. I hold the door open for you because it is
polite. Saying thank you is a great way to make my day better. I could just let
the door shut behind me but my Mother taught me to be kind to others. I’m sure
your mother taught you the same. Instead of be nasty say thank you.
Excuse, please, and thank
you, are some of my favorite words. Using them excessively will never happen.
Being polite will never go out of style in my book, so please, don’t let it go
out of style in yours!
I hope to hear those
amazing manners soon!
Your annoyed polite
friend,
Ashley
