Manners

Manners are a thing of the past it seems. Everywhere there are people that are being rude for no reason at all. I do not understand this. Maybe I am getting old, but I am only 27. When I was young we said excuse me if we needed to say something when someone else was talking or if we needed to get past someone in our way. There was always a please at the end of a favor and a thank you if it was done or even thought about being done. We said mama and sir and your welcome. Now I look around and it is not just the children not saying these things but the adults too. I was on facebook this morning and someone had said something about being at wal-mart and a woman being in their way and would not move. I tell you what, if it were me and you just stood there looking at me I would have to say something like, 'yes, can I help you?' to them. Do not expect me to read your mind, there is a wonderful word that can be said that would have me move. Excuse me, please. I love that phrase! BTW Not that I would ever try to be in any ones way but just so you know, if I am in your way, just say excuse me and I will in return move and let you know that I was sorry that I was in your way in the first place.
Use your manners please. It makes it a much better world if we all used at least some manners we were taught as we were growing up.
