I have noticed over the last few years that no one has manners anymore. The words 'please' and 'thank you' seem to have been erased from the dictionary. People don't feel like they need to 'ask' anymore. I don't know if it's because the world has a greater sense of "entitlement" now or what. I have actually heard people say that they don't need to say it every time. UM if you are asking for something then yes you SHOULD say it every time. The world DOES not owe you anything. It's called being polite. If you skip the please,it's called being bossy.
I see this alot on Facebook too. " I need a ride..who is going to take me?" or "I need a babysitter on Friday, any takers?". Um you are putting this on Facebook for all of your 500 friends to see. Most of them have no interest in what you need, and those who do, you should call them and ask them POLITELY. Any takers? WHAT IS THAT? It's not an auction and I seriously doubt that when people read this they are raising their hands saying "OH ME ME PICK ME!!!!". So do yourselves a favor and learn to ask as well as appreciate the help because chances are that people might be willing to actually help your ass out if you ask. PLEASE.
