It happens everywhere I go.
No just when they ask for something.
No thank you when they get it.
Im fucking sick of it.
But for whatever reason, people forget it when they get older.
You know you do.
And by always, I mean EVERY SINGLE TIME anything involves another person helping you out.
It doesnt matter if youre having the, like, worst day ever.
It doesnt matter if what theyre doing is the job they get paid to do.
It doesnt matter if what theyre doing is easy.
It doesnt matter iftheyare being rude while they help you.
People dont need todeserveyou having manners.
You should just have them.
Youre not above being kind because youve opened your wallet.
Youre not above treating people with respect because things arent going your way.
Youre not above anybody.
Being a kind and courteous person can turn somebodys entire day around.
And that can lead to even more kindness and positive experiences down the line for someone else.
It spreads like the only virus you want to catch.
Saying hey and thank youis really all about empathywhen you break it all down.
Those simple words are the most basic form of expressing that important and powerful notion.
So like, Im begging you, say these words as much as you might.
Theres nothing cool, or tough, or special about not saying them.
It doesnt cost you anything, and it might make a bigger difference than you realize.
