Quick question: What has happened to general common courtesies?
Do you miss words such as:
- Thank you when you hold the door open for someone?
- I am going to be late when someone is running behind schedule?
- I am sorry when someone hurts another’s feelings?
- No, go right ahead when you have one item and they have a cart full at the check-out line?
- Excuse me when someone bumps into you?
- I forgive you when you apologize to someone?
Have you noticed these courtesies disappearing from our society? What words or phrases do you miss?
The one I miss is “please” when someone asks for my money. “$15.29, please” is so much nicer than “$15.29.” and a blank stare!
