Things That The General Public Apparently Does Not Know, But Should.
1. Complaining is not attractive, or becoming, or endearing. In fact, it's annoying. So don't complain about every single little thing.
2. Smile. It's good for you, and you will automatically feel less grouchy.
3. Being rude does absolutely no good, and will get you nowhere in life.
4. If you are a parent, then PARENT your children. Do NOT let them go out in public and boss you around. You are the adult, they are the kid. You both need to learn your place.
5. Don't take out your daily frustrations on innocent cashiers or waitresses, or other public personel. They have a rough life too.
6. Sitting in a restaurant yakking on your phone is obnoxious. If you have someone eating with you, then it is even worse.
7. When you are texting in the movie theater, people can still see the light and hear the annoying clicking noises.
8. Regardless of what you may have been told, the world does not revolve simply because you exist.
9. If you make a mess, regardless of how big or where you are (ie- in a store, a restaurant, or a public bathroom), clean. it. up.
10. If someone is coming out of a door behind you, hold it for them. It's polite.
11. 'Please' 'Thank You' and a smile go a lot farther than you realize.
12. No, I really do not want to buy your thingamajig, especially not over the phone.
13. If a place is closing, don't go in at the last minute. The people working there want to go home and be with their families, too.
14. Don't be reckless with other people's hearts; don't let other people be reckless with yours.
15. Wearing smaller clothing does not make you appear smaller. And having orange and/or alligator skin is not attractive, either.
16. Pretty much everyone can see when you have food in your mouth, so the don't need to hear it, too.
17. Updating your facebook status every 22 seconds isn't admirable. Honestly, no one really cares if you are eating a bagel and walking your dog.
18. Complaining that you are fat while not doing anything at all about it is annoying. Especially if you weigh twenty-two pounds.
19. Smiles, hugs, and compliments- they are the best gifts to both give and receive, and totally and completely free.
20. Making decisions ignorantly will make you look rather ridiculous. Make sure you know what you're talking about before you speak, or form an opinion.
21. Second-hand information is not always accurate, so don't make assumptions about anything.
22. Don't ask me if you look fat in those jeans unless you are prepared to possibly hear 'yes' if the need be.
23. Standing in the very middle of a crowded hallway to have a conversation is not a good idea.
24. Turn signals were placed on your car for a reason. With that said, speed limit signs were also placed where they are for a reason. It's okay to reach those limits.
25. Don't be afraid to be fabulous, but don't hog the spotlight either. Help other people to be fabulous, too.
