No
matter where you are, out of town or out of the country, I’ve seen that some
people show an extreme lack of mannerism out in public and it’s not so pretty. Here
are some 5 manners that you should display (well, at least I think you should)
when out in public.
1.Say ‘Bless You’ After Someone Sneezes
It’s happened before that I am
in a store shopping away and someone next to me sneezes, and out of manners I
say bless you just to be completely ignored. Excuse me? I mean, even if you’re
not a person to be accustomed to being told a simple ‘Bless You’, you can still
manage a ‘Thank You’ in return. Also, it’s happened that I sneeze in the middle
of a store with so much people around me and nobody even looks my way. Aw,
c’mon people!
2.Say ‘Please’ and ‘Thank You’
When someone opens the door for
you, gives you your change, picks up something you dropped on the floor because
they’re closer to the item, always
say thank you. Always say please as well, especially if asking something from
the employees. You’d be surprised at how many customers yell at the employees
demanding items at stores/restaurants daily that a simple please can go a long
way.
3.Hold Doors Open For People
It’s a good tendency to have,
more of a extra points kind of manner. What people don’t realize sometimes is
that someone may be having a bad day or feel unappreciated and the single fact
that you held the door for them may make their day or even week, so always try
to do this, even for the people behind you.
4.Direct People with ‘Sir’ and ‘Ma’am’
Again, the employees: they go
through so much customers being rude to them; it’s a nice change to hear
someone call them respectively and in a calm manner. A small thing as calling
someone ‘sir’ with a smile can make someone’s day.
5.Be Nice To Everyone
This is a no-brainer but there
are people out there in grocery stores spitting foul mouth things at whomever
crosses in front of them and it just blows some people’s mood out the window,
so always be nice! Smiles and charm, people, smiles and charm.
