I've been in this really down sort of mood lately, where everything seems to get on my nerves. Especially people.
Aren't parents supposed to teach their children manners?
When someone holds a door open for you, you say thank you. When you ask someone to do something, you say please. When you bump into someone, you say sorry (or excuse me, but not in the rudest way possible, because that just defeats the whole point of even saying it!!)
I don't think that's too hard to ask of anybody. I mean, no one HAD to do anything for you. They didn't have to waste their time being nice. The least you could do is say Thanks.

I understand what you mean and find myself asking the same questions you have asked.
