Seriously’s Remedial Manners & Etiquette Class: Thank You

To all you wonderful readers,

I would first like to thank you for reading my blog.

I love doing this.

I make absolutely no money for doing it…although, I hope this changes…like soon!

Anyhow, on of the reasons I write this blog, is of course, to entertain…but I do have an agenda.

Do you know what my agenda is?

[I laugh maniacally]

My agenda is to reignite the fire for manners and etiquette.

We thirst and hunger for manner-able children. We teach them manners and etiquette that society is slowly weeding out. Most adults would not know etiquette if it bit them on the butt.

To start, my agenda for this class is for the world to remember to say “Thank You.”

Thank You… Thank You… Thank YOU!!!!

You see, I wasn’t even going to suggest something difficult. Or, am I?

Is saying “Thank You” difficult for you? Well, I see that “allergy” daily. Just out and about in my town.

People seem to be allergic to manners and etiquette.

Look, let’s be frank. You are in the Seriously’s Remedial Manners & Etiquette Class or SRMEC because you may have a problem. So, class…

Let’s Practice:

Say “Thank You” 3 times. Why?

Now, let’s not question the teacher.

• Thank You
• Thank You
• Thank You

I would love for you to email me. Tell me how many times you say “Thank You”…

Say “Thank You”. Not “Thanks”…

Wikipedia says: The [act of] saying “thank you” is an expression of gratitude. For example, when receiving a present or favour from someone, it is polite (and often expected) to say “Thank You” as a communication of gratitude.

Gratitude, appreciation, or thankfulness is a positive emotion or attitude in acknowledgment of a benefit [from an act that is performed] that one has received or will receive.

Gratitude for an act that is performed or received. A wholesome act, of course.

Will You Participate In Seriously’s “Thank You” Challenge?

How many times can you say it in a 24 hour period after reading this post? Also, keep track of how many situations you are in where someone doesn’t say “Thank You”, and you knew they should have.

You will be surprised at how you’ll tune into many rude people you run into. The people that are allergic to saying “Thank You”.

Having Manners Doesn’t Hurt, Not Having Manners Does.

Did you notice, I said “Thank You” in my intro at the beginning of this post?

Forget Paris! Seriously McMillan IS your new BFF!

Truly…Thank You,

Seriously
