Manners Much?

What happened to manners?

Is it just me or have manners taken a nose dive in our society?  One
of my biggest pet peeves is rudeness, and I am noticing more and more
of it all the time.  When it comes to manners, I don't play around.

I can forgive the children for bad manners because they are still
learning, but when it's adults there is no excuse.

- Elevator Bullies
         Where in the HELL are you going that is so important that
you have to push your way in before I can even step out?  I mean we
are in THE MALL so it can't be a life or death situation.  I also
can't stand those people who see a line for the elevator and try to
sneak in along the side of the line and try to board before those
people in the clearly defined line.  There are also gym bullies who
barely let the people from class #1 leave the room before they are
trying to push  in and secure their spot for class #2.

-Body Bubble Invaders
    I have a body bubble, don't invade it. If you do, say excuse me.
When you pass by someone closely, have to reach in front of someone,
or need to get around someone, say excuse me.  Duh!

- Dead Beat Parents
   If you want to be a lazy parent, do it at home. When in public,
act like you are controlling your kids ( or I will).   If your big azz
12 year old kid is in the toddler play area  running wild, playing
rough, and knocks into my toddler, it's on!  Get your old azz kids out
of the  kiddie play area.
  Control your child. Hitting, pushing, or bad words will not be
tolerated at any age. You may think you can mess with my kids, but you
don't want to mess with their crazy momma.  ;). It's amazing how many
parents choose not to discipline their kids in public, even when they
hurt another child.

-Please, May I, and Thank You
  It will take you a long way.  Instead of "Gimme a number 3 with
cheese.", try " May I please have a number three with cheese?".  I
don't even answer my kids if they ask for something without
please or may I and they have to say thank you every single time.

Sorry RudeButt McDisrespectful, I can't hear you without the please
and thank you.

Not sure if you know this, but when standing in a long line (bathroom,
tickets,etc.). Saving a spot in line for more than one person may
start a riot behind you.


Yes, I'm judging!  I think manners ( and common sense)  are nonnegotiable.

Do you love it? Yes thank you, I do!
