Cy Soto Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Is it really that difficult to integrate the words, "Please", "Thanks You" & "I Apologize" into one's vocabulary? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
two shoes Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Cy, I have my 2 y/o daughter saying please and thank you on her own, but we started pretty young... She'll throw in a "please NOW!" every once in a while... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cy Soto Posted December 30, 2011 Author Share Posted December 30, 2011 She'll throw in a "please NOW!" every once in a while... That's really funny!! It's also refreshing to learn that children are many times better educated in the art of Social Interactions than some adults... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Round_Gun_Shooter Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Man your hitting a nerve with this one Cy. Ran into a club officer today at one of the clubs I am a member of. Rudest SOB I have ever met in my life. I had guests so no issue was made but I am still fuming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoops! Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 (edited) It's not that I don't know how to integrate the words into my vocabulary, I just don't feel the need to since I'm better than everyone else. Just kidding of course, I hate that with a passion. Although, it does seem to help to ignore them. Edited December 31, 2011 by Whoops! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punkin Chunker Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Yeah -- arrogant people. The ones that put themselves above being considerate -- whether it's 'please' and 'thank you', or 'hey, there's someone else in the world'. Got a relative that fits for being rude and arrogant -- 15 y.o. boy. Can't tell the difference between what he gets because he's entitled to it, and what he gets because relatives are generous -- expects to get what he wants and seems to prefer to skip the tedium of doing something to benefit others (once told me, "help out" wasn't in his vocabulary). Never a 'please', or a 'thank you'. Do something decent for him, and his whole attitude is that he just got one over on you, and got something from you out of his own cleverness.

LPatterson Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Unfortunately the problem starts at home because children are essentially wild animals at birth and only become human with training. The problem is compounded at school where they can become a pack. Since it is no longer appropriate to control/discipline children at school it becomes worse. Even in the wild a pack will control the actions of its members or chase a rouge off on its own. If we allow children in the family other than our own to do things they shouldn't then we are just as guilty. I'd take that 15 y.o. aside and explain the facts of life to him. And if the parents object then you know where it started and the next action is a really tough decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
