When Knitting Was a Manly Art

Be Nice to Each Other

I work in the food industry. Luckily, as a cook, I don’t have to deal with customers unless I want to. But I’ve witnessed a few examples of people who *really* need to remember the title phrase. Be Nice to Each Other.

Recently a contributor on Metafilter added a link to a blog in England which published The Manners Manifesto.

Easy things, like Smile and say Please and Thank You. Unfortunately too many people have forgotten how to be civil to each other. I need to remember some of the items myself.

I hear you, Jerry. A friend of mine passed along such a fabulous phrase to me regarding this very thing:

Manners are free.

And I have been known to say this to random people who are being unbearably rude.
