3.18.25: Less Polite People
People are less polite than they used to be. Maybe it was COVID, or maybe it's the fact that we now predominantly communicate behind screens, but basic courtesy feels like it’s fading. People interrupt more, ignore messages, or skip simple things like saying “please” or “thank you.” It’s like the human element is slipping away. Sure, life’s hectic and everyone’s dealing with something—but kindness doesn’t cost anything. Holding a door, acknowledging someone, or just being considerate can make a difference. I miss when politeness wasn’t rare. Feels like we could all use a reminder to slow down and be decent.
