SubscribePlease, Thank You, and also Sir and Ma’am.
Kindness can get you a long way. Lately I've noticed that people are becoming very impolite. It's been rather bothersome and a source of frustration as of late. You see, I'm from the south. We have this thing called Southern Hospitality of which I'm very accustomed to. Seriously, you should read about us. I promise you we're not all inbred hicks walking around barefoot.
I try to make it a point to say "Thank You" whenever someone does something for me. Even if it's something they were supposed to do, it never hurts to display gratitude. It's my little way of showing that I recognize that someone did something for me. Waitress fills my drink: I say "Thank You." Guy at the drive-thru window hands me my order: I say "Thank You." My wife fixes dinner; Once again I say "Thank You." It's just a respect thing. You should try it sometime. I bet you'll notice a little better out of the person you said it to as a side-effect.
i totally agree and see it everyday! just a smile and a thank you can make all the difference in the world in someone’s day- i know it helps mine (;
