COULD CIVILITY BE MAKING A RETURN? By Yvonne


A friend suggested that I should talk about people with manners for a change. He’s right.


  •   Today, a woman stopped texting just in time to avoid crashing into me
  •   “Watch out for the people,” a parent yelled as her kid sped down the street on his scooter.
  •   A man held a door for me.
  •    A woman put her toddler on her lap so that an older person could sit.
  •   A teenager offered me his seat on a train.
  •    I received a handwritten thank you note from a newlywed couple.
  •    A recruiter returned an email.
  •    Another recruiter returned a phone call!
  •    A perfect stranger paid me a compliment.
Have you seen any good manners? Please share, we can never have to many. Thanks!

Indeed. I haven't had the urge to kill as many strangers as I normally do in my day to day activities, so perhaps the tide IS turning to a more civil place.

Very nice, a man held the elevator for me and another woman to enter first! Keep hope alive.
