Mind your manners

Probably bin dun...

How are your manners? Do you say please & thank you? Do you hold doors open for people? Do you address people correctly? Do you give up your seat on the bus/metro for older people/ pregnant women and... well, all that other bollocks we're told we should do?

OR

Are good manners something antiquated/ pointless/ dead? Do you even bother? Are you at a point now where people have treat you like shit for so long, you can't be fucked to be nice to people anymore?

These days (I feel fucking old) it seems that no one ever does any of the stuff mentioned up top, especially from younger folks. I was always told to say please & thank you, told to speak properly, not swear & respect people in general - even if they are complete bastards.

The internet is one place in particular where good manners & common courtesy are virtually non-existent. Sure, in the requests forums you get pleases & thanks left right & centre which is fine. We're nice people on GFF. But a lot of other places it seems more like, 'I DEMAND THIS NOW' sort of thing without a word of thanks.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
