What
happened to manners? Where did they go?
To see
someone struggling for a door, you walk on by.
To see the
crossing guard waving to you, you ignore him.
To see someone
carrying a large box, especially the same direction you’re going.
To see a car
trying to merge into traffic, you act as though you don’t notice.
How dare
you?! Who made each of us so important, so above others that you’re too good to
help someone out? Too good to say please and thank you? Or how is your day when
eye contact is made? Or, hell, even MAKING EYE CONTACT?
Manners don’t
cost you anything. Manners don’t take up your time. Manners aren’t germs that
will get you sick.
They are
contagious, though.
How hard is
it?
