Manners Makeith the Man
ooooo I can feel a rant coming on!!
...why is it that when your driving and you let a car pull out. or stop to let a car go past when there is only room for one, do they not thank you?????
I dont understand.
Its common courtesy.
To thank someone for doing something for you.
Why dont drivers do it anymore???? I'm sure they used to, why has it stopped?
Is it just another sign of our society of 'looking out for number one, sod everyone else?' It must be this, which is terribly sad. With no-one looking out for anyone else community spirit goes and unless your lucky and everything goes well for you, you a bit stuck without someone 'watching your back'.
I get really cross about it, and thank the person who I consider should have thanked me in a hugely exaggerated fashion. Sometimes it works, sometimes I dont think they even see me.
I think I am old fashioned. I think thanking people is good manners. And I think manners are important.
(rant over...for today anyway!)

I am reaaly sorry about this. But reading this post - the only thing I want to be able to do is print it off, go back in time and show it to your 15 year old self.....
I'd pay to see that!!!!
And not because politeness wasn't important to you then.... just that I can see the hooror in yuor teenage face at the thought that one day you would be a mummy and care enough in a (gasp - middle aged** way) to write about it!!!
** and I say middle aged from a 15 year old's perspective.
Ya know what though? .... it's waaay funnier in my head where I don't have to explain it....
Oh yeah - I have figured out the whole commenting glitch too :0)
cor...you can go off people cant you???!!!
(btw..i knew you'd find this funny!!)
