Do you still value the words please and thankyou?

Question

i only ever hear ppl say it in work situations.

Answer 1

OH Please!!!
Oh course I do ,Thank you very much!!! lol

Answer 2

Yes

Answer 3

Yes, we say them all the time. It's important to say them often to everyone...especially to those in your own home. Don't you think your loved ones deserve courtesy?

I don't know why adults don't think it's necessary to use those words when speaking to children. How else will children learn? And children deserve respect, too.

So thank you for posting this question. Please continue to share you ideas with Yahoo! Answers as it helps people think about all sorts of things.

Thank you again!

Answer 4

I am the polite police~I drive everyone crazy.It costs you nothing to be polite and everything to be rude. There is an incredible lack of common courtesy and it's a shame.

Answer 5

Yes but the quality of the politeness is lacking a lot these days.

Answer 6

Of course, those are the two very valuable words of kindness which we all learn and teach our kids as part of good manners and right conduct.

Answer 7

They were embedded into my brain by my Mother and are still two of the most important phrases in the English language.

Answer 8

I do.

I had to laugh when I read this, my brother always gets worked up when he talks about the show "Wheel of Fortune" (like who watches that anyway...) and how people shout the letters out without asking or saying please.

Answer 9

Yes. I believe it is right to use the words.

Answer 10

very much so. i worked in retail for eight years so i just conditioned myself to saying those things to be polite. i still do it all the time and i think it's a good thing to be courteous.

Answer 11

I say please and thank you every day. I think that it's important to be polite. I also say things like "Excuse me" when I sneeze or bump into someone, and "Yes ma'am/No sir" to my elders. Manners are a lost art today.
