Here are some of the grouses that a couple of my comrades have been raving about. With this doing a jig around my crazed mind, thought of throwing this open to you me lovelies so that I could get some responses about this ‘thing’ called courtesy.
• Some people choose impoliteness because just because they cannot be bothered (being nice). But the same individuals get way cranky if courtesies aren’t thrown their way. Weird huh?!
• When one buys a gift for another, isn’t it a done thing to go across to the person and give it to the friend? The whole gesture is totally shallow when an individual calls a friend/relative and says “I have bought something for you but cannot come across and give it because of xyz – so can you come across and collect it.” Seriously, why bother to buy it in the first place! Sick huh?
• There are many who discard a present because it does not meet with their expectation and then hand it over to some sad sucker. Sometimes it lands up with the very person who gave it to you in the first place!
• Respect I believe must be earned. Don’t you? As a done deal - a younger person is expected to be polite to an older one. But there are times when the older person doesn’t deserve this – especially when they do not practice what they preach!
I have seen so many cases (as you too me lovelies I am sure), where a senior walks in late to a show and expects a youngster to get up and give him/her a seat.
Or, when a kid is expected to be polite to everyone because (s)he is a child. How about politeness working both ways I wonder.
On the other side of the coin, when a youngster is plain rude or just ignores an older person, the kid deserves some talking to, don’t you think? Hmmm….
• Heard this the other day that (a few) people do not like being greeted with a good morning, good afternoon, good evening, good night, because they wonder what is so good about the day/noon/evening/night! Hmfp! It is just an expression of good will and a nice way to brighten up the day/evening/night.
Sad people. I guess bitterness is at the core of their being that nothing good is reflective in their lives! Perhaps they would like to prefix it with a ‘bad morning’ and so on?! ‘Good’ bye to you I say….
• Have you ever been treated meanly for no fault of yours? All I can say is don’t waste your time and energy and get upset. Go on with life and live it the way you wanna and let the other party go on with his/hers. Easier said than done? Yeah kinda agree with you here.
• Have you come across people misusing another’s hard earned funds just because of a common surname! Big brother is watching you know. Share the moolah dope otherwise the pound that you claim to have ‘earned’ may bring laughter to the bank but a great deal of scoffs in public-private. Sharing and courtesy go hand-in-hand.
So, me dahlings let me know if you have been the victim of another’s rudeness…
