Manners

People have them, people should have them, people say they have; people don't always have them.

I hate it when people don't have manners.

The other day I went to the post office to collect a package, it was raining outside, there was a huge queue inside, a woman opened the door to come in, she had a pram with her child in it, and was having difficulty opening the door and pushing the pram inside, everyone looked, no one cared.
So I went to hold the door open for her so she could come in. Everyone looked, and the woman said thank you, and told her son to say thank you to the nice lady. I told her it was fine.
But seriously, why didn't anyone else want to do anything?

I think it is human nature to want to feel superior, that we are better than others, but this bothers me. A lot!

I was in a pub with friends and they were all eating. Someone who worked there (not a waitress cause it's a pub), came over to clear away empty plates and glasses. I moved out the way, helped hand her a couple of glasses and said thank you. Other people just completely ignored her, as if she was a nobody. They didn't look at her, they didn't stop what they were doing to let her pick up things, didn't say thank you; just sat there talking.
I'm sorry but I find this HORRIBLE. The woman is simply doing her job, she is not a nobody, she is not worth less than others. A simple thank you and a smile I'm sure she would appreciate, is that so hard?

We are all people, yes we want to be the best, but it doesn't mean that others are worth less than us. It's what we want, we don't want to admit it, but it is.
Can't we care for others, realise that we are all people, and deserve respect. A thank you, a smile, a helping hand, is that really so hard?
