Are your kids polite? They probably are, because I think kids model their parents for the most part.

Another example of rudeness I noticed lately is how people say something to the effect of "Me and Sarah are going to the lake." I was taught that you always put the other person first. "Sarah and I are going to the lake."

Actually, if I understand the rule correctly, you take the other person out to test if the sentence is right. For example, you wouldn't say "Join I at 6 o clock" would you? So I think they are correct.

But like you I bristle at the "Me and Jennifer will give you the news at 6 o clock." The speaker of that sentence is implying that he/she is more important than Jennifer.

I'm with you there, Keith. Last week Pam and I was at a car show and we noticed that even the vendors were pretty rude. I ignored the first guy when as we were walking away he said outloud and in our direction "I guess nobody is buying anything today, they're just here to look." I should have fired off "If you had anything that wasn't crap, maybe I'd be interested." But I couldn't ingore the second guy. Pam was looking at some of the black&white Mustang prints from that Thom guy, and the person walked up to Pam and asked "Are you finding what you're looking for?" and Pam hesitated answering for a second and the guy said "I SAID, DID YOU FIND WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR?" in what sounded like a frustrated, irritated tone. This REALLY pissed me off, and I said to Pam "Forget it, quit looking." {she was looking for a Mach 1 print for me} and I turned to the guy and looked at him in his beady little eyes and said "WE DON'T BUY FROM A$$HOLES!"

I know I was in the wrong there, but nobody talks to my wife that way.

Manners are greatly lacking today. I don't know how many times I've answered calls at work that were started off with a string of cursing. Also, customers like to refer to me as "you people". I am only one person and I don't know why, but I find that highly offensive!

Really, people would get so much better results if they were friendlier. When someone tells me I will do this or I will do that, it makes me resist all the harder.

However, call me a goddess and I'll give you what I can!!

This "yes Ma'am, no Ma'am" stuff is blowing my mind.

Anyway...my point was that we laugh about being able to tell how close we are to our destination (NY) by the manners associated with the toll booth collectors. There are about 5 different collections on the way, and you can't get a nice word out of that last one!!

I believe she proved her intelligence when she stayed married to him after he boinked that beauty pagent contestant before he/she became president.

And,, about the time I start stereotyping groups,, like kids that are totally punk looking,, one will hold the door for me at a parts house or say "Excuse Me".. If they think they were in my way..

But,, I do say "Thanks You",, to clerks in stores and get no responds.. Can't believe they haven't been trained better.. Guess those businesses will have to start using "SHOCK COLLARS"..
