Don't make me come back there!!!

      When did manners go out of style? When did 'style' ever dictate manners? This is a sad turn of society when people do not have the aplomb to carry themselves with the grace of common courtesy and decency.
       Seriously. I understand we are part of a casual culture. But there are still times in this world that dressing in your best or better clothes, speaking in proper English, and using basic manners are necessary. Here's just a few of my biggest peeves:
1.) Looking for a job: My mother would have skinned me ALIVE if she had seen me applying for a job (and it didn't matter where to or for what - poop scooper or CFO) dressed (or not dressed) in the way people present themselves today. Untucked shirts. Jeans. SHORTS and FLIP FLOPS. Seriously? Put on a tie, pull your pants up to your waist with a belt. Girls, no boobs, butts or bellies and wear panty hose. Hell, wear panties.
2.) Yea, uh huh, yep. Please drop these words from your vocabulary when you are addressing anyone of whom you owe respect; would like to receive a salary from; assistance from; a judgement in your favor; a gift, instruction or who has lived longer than you. Use: Yes Sir, No Sir, Yes Ma'am and No Ma'am. Practice. These words also apply when you are on the Service end of Customer Service. Again Practice. This is NOT just a Southern thing, it is a MANNERS thing. AS in POLITE.
3.) I don't really give a warthogs hind end where you came from, who your daddy was or wasn't or what your mama made you do when you were small. I am not the cause of those things and do not deserve the effect. What I do care about is where you are now and how you plan to impact my day with your attitude. Adjust accordingly.
4.) If and when you are EVER required to present yourself in a Court of LAW; at a Job Interview; at an Interview for ANYTHING (prep school, college, grad school, for an apartment, whatever); To Attend a SOCIAL EVENT (as in a wedding; a funeral; a baby shower, wedding shower;)Opera, Theatre, please dress appropriately. If you would put it on specifically to wear to WAL-MART, do not wear it to the above mentioned functions. If you could be mistaken as a gardener, a sleep walker, a sports fan, a kardashian or a pimp you are not dressed appropriately for the above mentioned functions.  Wrinkles may add character to a face, but they do not add character to your clothes. Adjust accordingly.
5.) We have all had bad things happen in our lives. Granted. But each of us has to make a living, pay our bills,keep going and stop bitching. So do that. Do not victimize the entire world or hold your office hostage with your bad attitude because someone isn't nice to you or didn't say hello to you this morning. Put on your bigkid underroos and get on with it. In the real world you don't get a trophy for showing up; and mommy doesn't clean up what you don't finish. You get a paycheck and get to keep your job if you do it. If you don't - buhbye!!!
6.) Say Thank You, when someone has condescended to shop in your store and bothered to purchase something. They didn't have to. They are not an interruption to your day. They just help provide you with a little job security. Show your appreciation.
         I'm sure there are more, but that's all I can come up with right now. Feel free to add your own in the comments.
Maybe we need ADULT COTILLION Classes... hmmmm...
