Thank you for making this vid, my friend. Everything you said is right. I thought I was the only one left who cared about the simple "thank yous" and "bless yous." I don't know why people are the way they are, and may never know for sure. All I can say is as long as we keep doing the right thing, all will be fine.
What I really hate is my school I'm in 8th grade & I moved 3 years ago & when Eva I'm about 2 go on the bus these girls cut infront of me & 2day I was waiting to go out of the classroom & she was way up in my personal space I need my space! But seriously she was pushing me omg
I don't mean to ramble on, But an example is Last March in 2010, I was walking home from the busstop with eight bags of groceries in my hand, four in each hand. Well, as I was going through the crosswalk at a traffic circle/roundabout: this stupid p!@ce of Sh!t F@cktard called me a "Faggot..." and his girlfriend walked right by me in the opposite direction. So these days, I don't go anywhere unless I get a ride or take a taxi somewhere!!!!
I live in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. I don't know if it's just my. But I find Edmontonians to very rude and pushy and ungrateful. Often times, worse than rude. I've been yelled at, sworn at, told to F@#K OFF!!! from passing cars, called nasty/obscene names over the years. I don't know if it's the part of town that I'm in, the way of walk makes me look like a homo and down on his luck. Anyway, I don't even walk places much anymore because of all this.
I'm a nice person to people and I don't enjoy it when I get some of these people who decide to be rude. Last night I shared my opinion on something and of course the other side got rude with me. Isn't it just stupid?
One more thing(Sorry for so many comments, but this really bothers me). I do exactly what you suggested. When someone is rude I'm even politer that usual. Extra polite. With a wide smile. That makes rude people confused :) and sorry for their behavior. Ok, I'm done.
But back to the subject, I understand your rant about rudness. People cutting in lines, pushy people, people who don't know how to say hello, people who don't apologize...I see it every day. I thought I was the only one bothered by this. Learn to ignore such people or they will drive you mad. I'm still coping with it :) Good luck!
Today I was on the middle of zebra crossing on a bike when a man in a car(who was probably looking somewhere else) suddenly jumped on brake. While I was passing he yelled at me "F*** your mother you dumbass!!!". I'm still shocked. He was wrong and instead of apologizing he cursed my mother?? That's what I call extremly rude. That's why I typed "rude people" in youtube and came to this video. I don't understand such behaviour. I don't understand people sometimes or most times

We can't change the world but we can change ourselves. We can be the ones who smile and say our thankyous. And hopefully it will catch on. We have to make the world a friendlier place, and there are too many rude people, I totally agree. Great rant :D
You are so right! I think one of the root causes of the selfishness that you describe is that the world has pretty much abandoned a real sense of community. While individualism is a good thing, there needs to be a balance. As Donne said: No man is an island. We are part of each other. We indeed are our brother's keeper. It isn't all about me. It is about us.
I think it would be interesting to try and trace the cause of the decline in the way people treat others.
I've been told I have a cheery disposition anyhow cause I'm always smiling and being "polite", but thats just because thats me and its a habit. I even smile at the "haters", though those smiles might be a tad bit on the sarcastic side, but they dont need to know that
I call them "haters" or they've been jaded by other haters and don't want to take a chance of being dissed. I do it in any case and know I've done the right thing. If they're haters they're miserable anyway.
The thing is though, unfortunatley, if your to nice to people (especially macho mother fuckers) they tend to think your gay! It's bullshit, that sometimes here in OZ, you have to be half something your not just to 'fit in'.
i like this video. it was so ridiculously true. so guess what? i have officially decided that i'm gonna be nice to people! HAH! look at that! you're changing the world already! wah hoo.
We live in a microwave society where people want things now now now, instead of being patient and waiting for it.
Also, if everyone was so kind as you'd like them to be, than the world wouldn't be a better place? It would be Havok, kind people, everwhere you look, no one is different. Where would the individuality be? The world is full of billions of people, all of which are different; I for one wouldn't like to be the same as billions of other people around me.
I love going down to Hervey bay for summer, everyone is so relaxed and happy.
But then i come back to Sydney and everything is so inpersonal.
Every weekend when i go jogging on the beach in the mornming, it makes me smile when someone says "good morning" to me. Two simple words can mean so much.
hey steve! this is the 1st time ive seen ur videos im goin to go watch sum more now hehe.
i just wana say ur vids are awesome! ur definatly doing a great job!
ps hehe im from the south coast of nsw, i think there is a massive difernece between where im from & sydney the environement & the ppl. the ppl up there are so rushed and do seem a lil rude sometimes so i agree with everything your trying to say. 1 nice gesture, smile or gday makes a hell of a diference..well it does here anyway
HEy there Steve just wanted to drop by and tell you that, as always, I enjoyed dis video. Also, my mother was impressed that someone "young" would talk about this. Good job
and everywhere we went just walking down the street people were so poliet and saying G'day to us. It was so refreshing, you don't get anything like that where I live. If anyone was even to smile at somebody they didn't know they would be considered weird.
I agree with you there. But I live in a country town so naturally most folk say g'day or give a nod of a head...some even strike up a conversation! it's those kinds of people that put smiles on faces even when they're having the most rotten day =)
sometimes in the city, people are very unaproachable. A simple greetings/salutation is returned with a sneer. Alot of city people are just wound up too tight, probably due to all the hussle and bussle of city life.
Hey Steve, That was a great point you made here... Hopefully it'll sink in with all of us viewers and we'll think about it more often and do something about it more often... Just going an extra inch will, over time, get us much farther along than we can imagine...
STEVE!!! Hey- i have only just discovered i was not subbed to you!!!!!!!! What a great video-i totally agree-i have talked about this before too- i ALWAYS say hi to people and smile. You are right -if everyone could just do this simple gesture i am sure the world would be a better place. Good for you fellow smiler!!!!! Love Megan xxxxxxxxxx
Hey man I live in a country town. Only one I know that has but everyone I know says "Please" "Thankyou"... Well... Except the "Popular" Kids! But their bastards anyway! :P Good issue though mate!
Great Rant!! I make sure to be polite and thankful all throughout the day cuz I agree with everything you said about making others' day much better by just a simple G'day or thank you. If we all did our part in just that small way, it does make a difference. Thanks, you're so awesome by the way!! I love your vids!
Even though I never say that, I'll say just for you.
I live in NYC, and when I go to Manhattan, since I live really close, it's crazy. Everybody is stuck in their own heads, and they seem to have no problem crashing into you. Eh, that's life.
You are completely right!! I just wanted to say that even before this rant I have been waveing to everyone and I say Hi to alost everyone alllll the time. My mom tells me i'm to nice to people. but I just keep waveing to people!! :D
I try to make it a point to be nice, respectful to elders, patiently wait in line, let someone go before me if they're in a hurry or have less to do than me, wait for the green light on a crossing, nod to the driver that lets me pass, say good day and thank you...(but apperently that makes me a kiss-ass, backbone-less, easy to walk over idiot to some people O_o )
i totally agree with you Steve! the thing here is that people are rude and when you finally leave the city and then come back it feels like what you said! about another pressure or weight getting put on your shoulders! i feel like that when i come home from camping! GOOD DAY STEVE JESSICA
Scary you are saying that people in Australia are becoming rude; I always thought Australians are the nicest people ever. If they are getting rude we're all screwed! lol I am a flight attendant and I have noticed more and more that people don't say 'please' and 'thank you' anymore let alone have any eye contact. :( I agree with you and I wish people could be nice again. It's such a small thing (to smile, say 'thank you' or 'hello') but has a big impact.
yeah whenever i ring my friends i always say "good evening" out of habit (my parents were big on courtesy), and the next day they're always telling me about how their parents were saying how polite i am. lol. why can't many more people do that?
i completely understand and agree! i moved from a small town to a suburb of a very large city...not only a big change, but even BIGGER attitudes from people. they were just rude, selfish, and hateful; always saying "i want" or "i need" and always "right now"
Yeah, I've noticed this too. I never realised that most people weren't just nice and polite and kind, until I started going to highschool because I lived in the countriside, and was home-educated until then. The only other people I saw, generally, were the people in the little town near us where everybody knew everybody else. Life was so simple then.
Saying thank you is totally worth it in the long run. Or just giving someone a genuine smile as you pass them by. Do these things even if they mean total embarrassment. So many times I've yelled "Thanks!" to someone across a crowded room and had the rest of the people stare at me. But it's worth it. The smallest gestures are the ones that change the courses of people's lives. It's up to us whether they are changed for the better, or for the worse.
Here in Argentina, not everyone is educate. The woman that serves lunch on the cafeteria of my college sometimes says "Hola como estas...." like a large salutation. I think that's funny but not every employee of the cafateria is that gentle.I, personally, try to be polite with people in general, even when I don't really know them.Ok, my english isn't enough to express myself well. sorry if I'm ununderstandable.
I completely agree. it's like that (or maybe even worse) here in America.
and I know sometimes it can be a hard thing to do and sometimes you're just not in a very good mood (trust me, i've been rude to others when I really should've done otherwise), but, if only on your good days, it's good to show some respect not only to yourself, but those around you by simply being kind to others. it's a great feeling when you can say I helped someone today.
I agree with you. Sadly though its the same all over the world. Funny thing is no one really notices it until you visit a small town. Have a good day. Stay safe.
I really like your values. I 100% agree! It really feels like we're becomming un-Australian. I'm going to continue smiling and showing common curtosy.. even if noone else does. I'm subscribing to you entirely on this video :) Really well said! xox Abby.
I have it pretty good. I work in the suburbs, only a short work from home so I don't have to deal with aggressive traffic every day. Most days at work, I deal with people that treat me with respect and friendliness and my home life is bliss. It's only the odd occasion that I have to drive in peak hour traffic or cop someone unpleasant at work that it hits me how lucky I am for the other 99% of the time. But yes, I agree that most people need to take a curtacy happy pill and try and get on
Darn, I forgot to mention; and I'm sure it's the same world-wide, but I'm 100% sure that all these people sitting around all had cell phones. I think I know ONE person in my life that doesn't have one...
My friend was at a Starbucks the other day and there was this man frantically looking for his blackberry work phone; lots of confidential information in it, you know? There were like 8 people relaxing on couches didn't even look up; the employees didn't even offer to help find it. My friend turned to him and offered to call it, and the guy was ESTATIC.
Is it not sad that this man was not expecting help from anyone to begin with that when someone did offer help, he was SO thankful.
~THANK YOU~ for making this video. I always try to say hello to people when I take my dogs for a walk, but it's like they purposely turn their heads and look the other way, like they are avoiding contact with other people. It's so strange!
I completely feel you. that's exactly what i hate about living in Hong Kong. we might have a beautiful city - but we suck at doing the simplest things, like being nice to each other.
Ya know it's everywhere. You smile at someone to be polite and they turn their nose up at you and frown. You open the door for someone and they walk right through and not say a word to you. You might be lucky to get a little grunt from someone from time to time
For all the grumps out there: Get your smile on already!!!!!
Hey Steve, "Thank you"... for the videos and all i really enjoy them...
you did hit on one point it starts and stops with one person "me". it's how we decide to live and treat others. we can't change them but we can change ourselves and have an affect on others, friends, family and our kids.
I hate how we treat each other here in the States. After living in Europe for a year and seeing the difference in manners and social norms I'm more irked than ever about manners. Not that I'm miss manners or that people in other countries aren't rude but it's gotten to truely appalling levels here, IMO.
i think it's less about country v. country but more about bigger cities v. small towns, etc. big cities are a lot less intimate than small towns and several factors make it less likely to want to 'get to know' a stranger in a big city as opposed to a small town or even consider saying hi to a stranger, etc.
ili5950: I have lived in both big cities and small towns and people are still rude in either case. But I do agree that this is not about country vs country. That is just the example I used.
because people today are spoiled. they are used to getting what they want when they want it...It is what I call "Hooray for me and the heck with you" syndrome. they constantly complain even when they get their way they still want more.
I totally understand! I live in a pretty rural "country" area and everyone is so lovely. But when i venture into the city people are so rude. And what happened to all the polite young men? They're such pigs now.
Well sorry to burst your bubble, but stress, demand, and unfortunatly rudness is part of life. It stinks but because teachers and bosses are very demanding and saying "G'day" will not take away that reserch paper that is sitting on the back of your bookbag. I do wish people would be nicer though, you have a good point.
I couldn't agree more. I live in a very 'rude' city. Not everyone here is rude but I think they out way the ones who are not. Because I grew up in a small town ( where we knew everybody) when someone sneezes I say bless you,or I smile and say good morning to people when they walk by.Here they just look at you like you are a nutter. I think everybody just needs to slow down and think about others, not just themselves or their families.
cotinueation..................................now i'm a guy that tries to be considerate, and i find that i have made it a habit to say "G'day", though i would say wussup or hey, no offence, but sometimes there are times when i feel weird cause i forget to say hey or thanks or whatever, because its become a part of me, but those who it hasnt become part of, which could be caused by many things, is the reason that we behave in such ways, all in part of the rechedly greedy world we live in today
its like, people just dont "have time" anymore for such things
but though all of us would probably agree with your side, i think also most of us are also the ones who forget to do such things, no offence to anyone, but just because of the fact that none of us "have the time"
but most of the time we just dont realize it, that we're being rude
Hey I live in the.. suburbs. Not quite the city but not the country either. I've come in contact with such rude people from the north and then really nice people who grew up in the small town this used to be. I think Its because stereotypically business people make a living out of stealing people's money and country people make a living actually working hard.
People living in tight spaces with a lot of people they don't know don't usually spend a lot of energy on other people. In the country, however, people are more spread out and most of the people we live near are people that we see more often, so we feel more comfortable around them.
You seem to be the last person anybody should be rude to, though. You're just so warm and laid back. That sucks.
Very nice, Steve. I couldn't agree with you more. I live in a highly populated area, where the rudeness can be astonishing. I try to be courteous, respectful, and friendly (almost enough to make me a boy scout) and try to ignore rude people. I've said 'hi' to people and had them just stare at me - makes you feel stupid. I commute on a train every day and know that the most courteous thing you can do on the train is to let people read, sleep, or think in peace. G'day, Steve.
I think a secret to life is to be detached from an outcome. Another secret is to change your perceptions and assumptions especially of others actions and reactions. If you don't expect it and aren't attached to it happening, you'll be happy when it did! (I'm also posting this to remind myself....)
Hey Steve, You are definitely right, I agree 100% even here in Romania some people are very rude and even more especially when they drive. At my grandma's country side if you go for a walk and you meet someone they say Hello or Gday even doing the fact that they don't know you at all and never saw you in they're entire lifetime but they say it. If some people would be like them i agree with you the world would be a much much much better place to live in.
People learn by example, so you're right; maybe if we all stared being less rude others might fallow. But I think the reason people associate rudeness with big cities is that there are more people, and therefore it's easier to notice. Where in small towns rudeness still exists, but because there is less people, there are fewer chances to witness it. Thank you for making this video because it is such a bigger problem than it used to be and it needs to be addressed.
G'Day You are so right I work in retail here Aust and people are becoming more rude hardly anyone says please or thankyou anymore when someone has manners it really shocks you because you are not used to hearing it, it is so so sad
Thank you for making a video about this. I've noticed more and more now that I'm back in a city that people are incredibly rude to each other. Yet we wonder why there's so much anger and violence.
You're not the only one this bothers. We've all just got to consciously try to be the best we can be around others and hope to be an example.
I live in the country, and though the racism and homophobia is a bit more commonplace, people do have more manners because it's so laid back. Not saying they balance out mind you.
I don't know that there are more people in America. Most European countries, such as Germany, are more densely populated than the U.S. I think people in cities just tend to be less considerate, in general. It's a hassle living in a city with the crowded subway cars and bumper-to-bumper highways. Still, no excuse for a total lack of manners. Good point. And, for the record, I do find a lot of courteous people in Dallas and Fort Worth.
Well, I usually say thank you and give recognition for the people who do nice things... The problem with here though is that people make fun of you or look down at you when you say hello on the streets. Just with those people who think they're all superior though
agreed, i live on a farm and every one in the area says thanks all of the time, we all ways say hi all the time. no one is rude around my place. even if you dont have the money to buy some thing at the genral store, they give it to you.
Pay it Forward- make it a better place for you and for me and the entire human race. Do 1 good deed for 3 people then them 3 people do one good deed for 3 other people and so on...
Isn't it that you've just graduated and this is your first job? I remember how pissed I was when I encountered a lot of rude people when I just graduated. It seemed like all the idealism I was taught in school was just fiction. I guess it's just natural, the way you feel. And I think that's just a teaser of the real thing.
Parts of the United States have no manners!In my region saying thank you, please, yes sir and yes mam are taught as soon as you can speak. My children know that if I hear a "what" and not sir or mam to an elder they are in deep trouble. You never want to do anything that would disappoint your parents(or whoever raised ya) dead or alive. The key phrase would be-- will this action honor my parents?
I hate it when people always blame America. Like saying that its only America thats mean. your right its all over the world. americas a big place, lotsa people. mabey thats why there are more rude ppl? cuz there are more ppl? i dont know. but i agree with you. its everywhere!
Why would you blame America? I mean we have our rudeness problems here but it's no worse than anywhere else. I don't know, I try to do my best to at least smile at everyone I make eye contact with even if I don't say hello. But it is a good idea. I can understand the video, the whole issue makes me want to rant sometimes too.
While most people will be gracious and friendly it only takes one rude jerk to ruin a good mood. in response to the country atmosphere, why do today what you can put off til tomorrow! haha
It's also because they weren't brought up that way. I see a lot of parents who let their toddlers run their life and do everything and anything they want. So when they grow up they remain the spoiled brats that they are.
I can't even get myself a cup of coffee anymore. No one opens the door for me, I open the door and they act like they expect it, no one says thank you anymore. It's because of the rude people that other people don't want to say hi to anyone.
You are so right and it's good that you're getting out that message.
This year at our school we had a foreign exchange student from the Czech Republic, and she was talking about how amazing it was that here, that when you walk through the hallways, people smile at you and say hello, and people hold doors open for you and she was surprised to see those things.
I am always happy when I do something nice for someone, and everyone would be a lot happier if they just acted more polite.
G'day Steve! I am from Boston and I cant tell you that I have run into more than my share of rude people..They can absolutely ruin your day with their rudeness. I promise If I ever see you I'll say Hello with a big smile and even ask how you are doing? It was nice to see a video from you again! Take care.
Thank you for making this vid, my friend. Everything you said is right. I thought I was the only one left who cared about the simple "thank yous" and "bless yous." I don't know why people are the way they are, and may never know for sure. All I can say is as long as we keep doing the right thing, all will be fine.

I call them "haters" or they've been jaded by other haters and don't want to take a chance of being dissed. I do it in any case and know I've done the right thing. If they're haters they're miserable anyway.

The thing is though, unfortunatley, if your to nice to people (especially macho mother fuckers) they tend to think your gay! It's bullshit, that sometimes here in OZ, you have to be half something your not just to 'fit in'.

We live in a microwave society where people want things now now now, instead of being patient and waiting for it.
Also, if everyone was so kind as you'd like them to be, than the world wouldn't be a better place? It would be Havok, kind people, everwhere you look, no one is different. Where would the individuality be? The world is full of billions of people, all of which are different; I for one wouldn't like to be the same as billions of other people around me.

I love going down to Hervey bay for summer, everyone is so relaxed and happy.
But then i come back to Sydney and everything is so inpersonal.
Every weekend when i go jogging on the beach in the mornming, it makes me smile when someone says "good morning" to me. Two simple words can mean so much.

Yeah, I've noticed this too. I never realised that most people weren't just nice and polite and kind, until I started going to highschool because I lived in the countriside, and was home-educated until then. The only other people I saw, generally, were the people in the little town near us where everybody knew everybody else. Life was so simple then.
BellaStarlit 3 years ago
Saying thank you is totally worth it in the long run. Or just giving someone a genuine smile as you pass them by. Do these things even if they mean total embarrassment. So many times I've yelled "Thanks!" to someone across a crowded room and had the rest of the people stare at me. But it's worth it. The smallest gestures are the ones that change the courses of people's lives. It's up to us whether they are changed for the better, or for the worse.
Thanks, Steve!

Hola! Wow, that's a nice catharsis...
Here in Argentina, not everyone is educate. The woman that serves lunch on the cafeteria of my college sometimes says "Hola como estas...." like a large salutation. I think that's funny but not every employee of the cafateria is that gentle.I, personally, try to be polite with people in general, even when I don't really know them.Ok, my english isn't enough to express myself well. sorry if I'm ununderstandable.

I completely agree. it's like that (or maybe even worse) here in America.
and I know sometimes it can be a hard thing to do and sometimes you're just not in a very good mood (trust me, i've been rude to others when I really should've done otherwise), but, if only on your good days, it's good to show some respect not only to yourself, but those around you by simply being kind to others. it's a great feeling when you can say I helped someone today.

My friend was at a Starbucks the other day and there was this man frantically looking for his blackberry work phone; lots of confidential information in it, you know? There were like 8 people relaxing on couches didn't even look up; the employees didn't even offer to help find it. My friend turned to him and offered to call it, and the guy was ESTATIC.
Is it not sad that this man was not expecting help from anyone to begin with that when someone did offer help, he was SO thankful.

I hate how we treat each other here in the States. After living in Europe for a year and seeing the difference in manners and social norms I'm more irked than ever about manners.

missdivinestalls 3 years ago
i think it's less about country v. country but more about bigger cities v. small towns, etc. big cities are a lot less intimate than small towns and several factors make it less likely to want to 'get to know' a stranger in a big city as opposed to a small town or even consider saying hi to a stranger, etc.

Well sorry to burst your bubble, but stress, demand, and unfortunatly rudness is part of life.

I do wish people would be nicer though, you have a good point.
Stariscute25 3 years ago
I couldn't agree more. I live in a very 'rude' city. Not everyone here is rude but I think they out way the ones who are not. Because I grew up in a small town ( where we knew everybody) when someone sneezes I say bless you,or I smile and say good morning to people when they walk by.Here they just look at you like you are a nutter. I think everybody just needs to slow down and think about others, not just themselves or their families.

Hey I live in the.. suburbs. Not quite the city but not the country either. I've come in contact with such rude people from the north and then really nice people who grew up in the small town this used to be. I think Its because stereotypically business people make a living out of stealing people's money and country people make a living actually working hard.
cottonkandynb 3 years ago
I agree, but I think it's human nature.
People living in tight spaces with a lot of people they don't know don't usually spend a lot of energy on other people. In the country, however, people are more spread out and most of the people we live near are people that we see more often, so we feel more comfortable around them.
You seem to be the last person anybody should be rude to, though. You're just so warm and laid back. That sucks.

Very nice, Steve. I couldn't agree with you more. I live in a highly populated area, where the rudeness can be astonishing. I try to be courteous, respectful, and friendly (almost enough to make me a boy scout) and try to ignore rude people. I've said 'hi' to people and had them just stare at me - makes you feel stupid. I commute on a train every day and know that the most courteous thing you can do on the train is to let people read, sleep, or think in peace. G'day, Steve.

Hey Steve, You are definitely right, I agree 100% even here in Romania some people are very rude and even more especially when they drive. At my grandma's country side if you go for a walk and you meet someone they say Hello or Gday even doing the fact that they don't know you at all and never saw you in they're entire lifetime but they say it. If some people would be like them i agree with you the world would be a much much much better place to live in.
Keep up the good work. Cheers
macika99 3 years ago
People learn by example, so you're right; maybe if we all stared being less rude others might fallow. But I think the reason people associate rudeness with big cities is that there are more people, and therefore it's easier to notice. Where in small towns rudeness still exists, but because there is less people, there are fewer chances to witness it. Thank you for making this video because it is such a bigger problem than it used to be and it needs to be addressed.

Thank you for making a video about this. I've noticed more and more now that I'm back in a city that people are incredibly rude to each other. Yet we wonder why there's so much anger and violence.

I don't know that there are more people in America. Most European countries, such as Germany, are more densely populated than the U.S. I think people in cities just tend to be less considerate, in general. It's a hassle living in a city with the crowded subway cars and bumper-to-bumper highways. Still, no excuse for a total lack of manners. Good point. And, for the record, I do find a lot of courteous people in Dallas and Fort Worth.

Parts of the United States have no manners!In my region saying thank you, please, yes sir and yes mam are taught as soon as you can speak. My children know that if I hear a "what" and not sir or mam to an elder they are in deep trouble. You never want to do anything that would disappoint your parents(or whoever raised ya) dead or alive. The key phrase would be-- will this action honor my parents?

It is because people are selfish.
It's also because they weren't brought up that way. I see a lot of parents who let their toddlers run their life and do everything and anything they want. So when they grow up they remain the spoiled brats that they are.
I can't even get myself a cup of coffee anymore. No one opens the door for me, I open the door and they act like they expect it, no one says thank you anymore. It's because of the rude people that other people don't want to say hi to anyone.

You are so right and it's good that you're getting out that message.
This year at our school we had a foreign exchange student from the Czech Republic, and she was talking about how amazing it was that here, that when you walk through the hallways, people smile at you and say hello, and people hold doors open for you and she was surprised to see those things.
I am always happy when I do something nice for someone, and everyone would be a lot happier if they just acted more polite.
