Does nobody say please or thank you anymore?

Please is an excellent word for a thoughtful person to use. You are asking another person to go out of their way to do something that benefits you. There should be some humility in that. Please indicates an understanding that this is the case.
Even if it is "Please pass the salt" - it is an effort that the other person has no compelling reason to do when they are busy doing something else (eating) - they receive no benefit - thus please is not only thoughtful thing to say - but the proper thing to say. I find it amazing that someone would have a problem saying please when you are asking a favor of another.

 

here in california if you yell at the wrong person for not saying thank you. then they will turn around and crack you in your jaw. knock you out and run out of the parking lot real fast and get away with it.

but maybe some of you only have the guts to yell at a old lady and not that big gangster guy.

 

Over here the hoods are usually way more polite than the rest of the people.

 

nope, it's already implied when I ask for something

just another pointless word, like all of the rest of them

 

Take a vow of silence.

 

I've actually been thinking about it a lot recently. I definitely have a lot to share with the world that I think everyone needs to understand but noone ever wants to hear it. I've never made a difference by talking but I've done plenty by doing

 

Try doing it for like, an hour a day and then work it up from there. Carry a chalkboard or something around with you. It'll be fun.

 

That would be against the entire point of me being silent. I can easily communicate all of my needs through signing. I don't know sign language but everything I need to be able to sign can be understood by most

 

Give you thumbs and middle fingers exercise.

 

nah, anyone I talk hang out with I don't need to give the middle finger to and I don't care enough about random people that hate me on the streets to give it there either

 

Please and ty are pointless. I can show my graditude through emotions quite easily.. A smile speaks volumes in comparison to a grunted thanks.

 

I say please and thank you often. In comparison, my best friend married a man who does not say thank you for anything and it annoys me. I was brought up being taught that please and thank you are polite, even if you are the only one that notices you saying them. When I have children, I will teach them to say please and thank you.
