How things used to be

Same here. Or please and thank you. Common courtesy and manners are almost nonexistent nowadays.

Oh yeah we're damn short on common courtesy and people think it's been replaced with politically correct. It sure ain't the same.

This may already be mentioned but I don't have time to read all 13 pages right now.

You used to be able to discipline you child for acting up or ignoring your rules. Now it is a criminal offense to send them to their room without their cell phone!

Used to think that Benghazi happened because of a video

Used to be able to ride in the back of a pick-up truck and no one thought anything about it.

While sitting on the tailgate and jumping off in the parking lot. (Ok - I grew up in the country....not everyone has done that)

Used to sleep with just an attic fan and open windows for a restful nights sleep....ZZZZZZZ

Used to be able to swing under grandma's carport and only see 5 cars go down the road in an hour. Now its 500.

My mom taught me to say please and thank you and at 63 I still do that. My 34 year old daughter does as well. Common courtesy and manners make you appear far above the average joe running around these days. It takes so little from you to smile and say thank you and the dividends are so worth it.

I know, it literally takes nothing out of you and can easily cheer up someone else's day. I don't get it. And for real, if I stop long enough to hold the door open for you, at least have the courtesy to thank me. I tend to yell "you're welcome" when they don't. And fyi, I'm a chick but yes I still hold doors for people. It's not a chivalry thing, it's a courtesy thing.

Ha. Politically correct. Ridiculous.
