There’s a lot of things that people don’t seem to understand, but one of the first that pops into my brainbox is manners. Common courtesy. Respect.
It kind of blows my mind the amount of people that can’t even say a simple “thank you” anymore. Or how many people will let a door slam back in your face instead of holding it open. Or can’t give a decent freaking handshake.
Nothing like offering your hand as a sign of greeting and respect, only to be met with a cold, wet halibut in return, eh?
And maybe I’m a bit old fashioned, but would it kill some of the guys out there to rediscover the art of being a gentleman?
I mean, dude, seriously. Not only is your wife/girlfriend driving your sorry ass around, but then she has to get out of the car, go inside, pay for the gas, your Mountain Dew and rolling papers, but then she has to pump the gas while you sit in the car with your scrawny ass leg hanging out the window playing on your phone? Come on, man…
Like I said, I may be a bit old-fashioned, and I respect the hell out of women and their right to do as they please, but I still feel like a lady should be treated like a lady. There’s a way to do it without being patronizing. It’s called being a gentleman. Look it up.
But overall, I really think people could relearn some of the basic social niceties. Most of them only take a second, are not that big, and actually go a long way.
