Chivalry, kindness, common courtesy…all things that appear to be long gone in today’s society. Perfect example: As I’m walking into work this morning an older gentleman who was about two strides in front of me didn’t even have the decency to hold the door open for me. Had he paused for even a second, I would have been able to catch the door. Instead, I had to do the awkward mid-closing door grab that never seems to go well. Not a good way to start off the morning and then sure enough the douche was standing there waiting for the same elevator that I, too, was going to ride up. Awesome. Elevator awkwardness.
Normally my rants are ignited while out with my friends, because despite the jerk off old man from today, it’s normally the young’uns that are the rudest. Okay people, word of advice: When you bump into someone, spill your drink on someone, want to use the mirror in the bathroom, etc please rely on our dear old friends “Excuse me”, “I’m Sorry” or “Please”. Believe me, I’m not going to think you are any less cool or sophisticated if you use language of the common folk. It amuses me that these people think that they are so classy and entitled that they shalt dare not belittle themselves by speaking to those who they believe are beneath them. Really? Because you a) don’t know anything about me or my “status” and b) last time I checked, a lack of manners was a clear indication of a person’s lack of proper upbringing. Stay Klassy, SA!
To those that feel they need a little reminder of how to demonstate good manners, I recommend the following:
