Just the other day I was walking around in Wal-mart and passed a heavy set woman. I walk a few more steps and nearly have a collision with a man and his cart. I say, "Excuse me." and then the woman turns around a says, "What the f***! You can't say "excuse me" to me, but you can to him!?!? B*tch!" I left required to educate the woman on manners. So I tell her, "Etiquette says that if you nearly bump into a person you need to say "excuse me", but if you just walk past a person you do not need to say anything." She makes a racial comment and I walk away.
Why did that situation need to occur? Was she never taught any form of manners? These incidents happen all of the time where I live. Let us take a moment to remember the last time someone cut you off while driving. How simple would it have been for them to put their blinker on and ask to come over? This could be very easily done. Simple changes to your daily routine can make your community a better place to be.
Remember what your parents taught you! I can still hear my mom saying, "Your p's and q's." Please and thank you can change your day. When you are feeling rather melancholy try smiling at someone else. When they give you a big grin back, you will catch your self in a better mood. If you continue to have a sour day, then keep it to yourself! And watch your mouth you never know who is listening and who might be learning from your behavior.
