10 POLITE THINGS PEOPLE DON'T SEEM TO DO ANYMORE
No matter your age, we are taught to be polite and respect
each other since young and you might have noticed that people's manners just
aren't what they used to be. As kids, we wouldn't have dared call someone older

mothers drilled in us the habit of saying please and thank you. We would be punished if we fail to display
good behavior in public, but things have change.

2.

company, rather than your phone.

you.
