Manners
I was in a 7 Eleven yesterday and when I furnished purchasing a Power-C Vitamin water I said, “Thank you mam” to the cashier. She looked shocked and said, “Don’t call me mam I am not that old.” First - she was old. Second - if she wasn’t she looked like she was and a good ol’ southern mam should have been welcomed in between the drags on her Camel cigarette. What happened to manners. Young people are so crude and rough that a yes sir and no sir are dismissed without a thought. Frankly, I would like to grab some of these kids by their piercings wherever that may be and jerk it out and say, “Hey, you little brat I pay taxes that you don’t pay but while you are in school today wasting your life at least acknowledge the fact that your existence and possible good fortune in this country is being provided by the adults who continue to work their butts off to pay for your benefits.” I don’t think mam, or sir is to much to ask, is it?AH

I hear ya! I’m not even that old and I want to smack the taste out of all these kids mouths.. The parents dont even have any respect these days. which is why kids dont.. I look up to the parents that still know how to control their kids and the kids say to them yes sir no sir yes ma’am no ma’am hard to find.. but ill tell you what, my kids will be like that too as long as im around!

Thats funny, not saying thank you, yes sir, its the first sign of “I can do it on my own” one figure solute to the parents and from there its a slippery slope. Heck some dont have it at all, and never did. Now I can see not doing the yes sir, no sir… but give me a break; thank you and your welcome, someone needs the big hand in the sky to just reach down and slap the shit out of them.
