Having good manners will serve us all well! Why have we gave up on that? It shocks me! It is simple and doesn’t take a lot of effort but still people won’t put in the extra brain cell to respect others and above all respect themsleves. To me it is the simple little things that you do that show what kind of person you are. Call me detailed but yah it is always the little things that matter…
Look around you and start thinking: How many people use the MAGIC KEY Words to being polite??
- "Thank You"
- "Please"
- "May I ... "
- "Excuse Me"
- "I'm Sorry"
It wont kill you if you say thank you nor welcome! It wont kill you if you say please when you are asking someone for a favor! It wont kill you to say MAY I instead of do this or do that! And EXCUSE ME!! And AM SORRY! Maaaaaaaaaaan noone uses these words anymore!
You know what is even more RUDE!
1- You are standing with a group of people. You being the only one who does not understand their langtuage and all of a sudden they start speaking using a language you have no clue what it is aslan!! Well that’s RUDE!! Even if they didn’t mean it! They should watch out!!! Be careful!! It won’t kill you!
2- You are standing with a bunch of people and your friend who has invited you doesn’t introduce you nor introduces others to you.
3- Using offensive language at offices! Not everyone wants to hear that even if it was okay in YOUR culture!! And by the way I don’t know what culture allows people to swear and say terrible stuff at each other in public!
4- Not listening is rude!
5- Not saying Good morning when you are walking into a place is rude!
6- If you are driving on 170 km/hour and want everyone out of your way and start giving them high and low lights you are a mal mannered person!
7- If I am standing in a queue and you jump in front of me you are definitely rude!
8- If you look at me and say why do you wear THAT ( meaning my scarf!) well that’s RUDE! That’s a VEIL.. now you know what THAT is!
9- When you spit on the road that’s rude.
10- When you pick up your phone in a movie that’s rude!
11- When you are in a meeting and your phone rings that’s rude!
12- When you pretend that you are busy and I can see you roaming around the office doing nothing.. that’s extra rude
13- When I smile at you and you don’t smile back,, guess what?? Am not after marrying you nor making best friends with you.. am just smiling at you so smile back!
14- When I’m at a mall and your shoulder hits mine and dislocates mine and you don’t say sorry that is EXTREMELY rude!
15- When I tell you a secret, and you don’t keep it!! Mmmmm 2ellit adab!
16- When you come for a meeting.. dress in a formal suit! NO cleavage!! Because I consider that rude and offensive!
That’s all I can think of right now….
If anything comes up to my mind I’ll let you know…
Peace,
