On Being Polite

My husband requested that this week’s podcast be about politeness. Apparently people who park sideways in parking lots are starting to get on his nerves. Anyway, my dad always says; if you want to slide through life, try being polite. And he is right. Being polite does grease the wheels of interpersonal relations. It doesn’t take much effort. Just do your best to make sure that your behavior doesn’t negatively affect someone else. So … when you park your car at the mall in the next few weeks. Make sure you don’t take up more then your fair share of space. Other people need to park too. And it’s rude to prevent them from doing so just because you were too busy to straighten out your car. Just saying. Oh - and PS - my husband thanks you.
