Where Have Common Courtesies Gone?
By Ron Edmondson on Saturday, June 27th, 2009 | 1 Comment
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?
One response to "Where Have Common Courtesies Gone?"
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!
