It's becoming more and more clear that good manners have gone out of style. From strangers letting doors close on mothers with young children, to professionals not extending a phone call by the promised date, it seems that any form of courtesy is now out of style.
Maybe it's the "do whatever feels good" mentality that we're drilling into our children these days. Either way, I'm sick and tired of people being rude.
The latest incident involved a professional. They were supposed to make contact "either way" by a certain date. Well, that date came and went with no attempt on their part to get a hold of me via phone, snail mail, or email. I find it even more offensive since this particular person is a professional, and doing what they say they are going to do is an integral part of their job.
I always make an effort to get back to people when I say I will or to hold a door open for the person behind me. Is it too much to expect the same from others?
