no one has any. dont know how to say thank you and excuse you. just push you out the way. maybe manners are going extinct because of the internet, you know social media. no real contact so no one knows how to act anymore. or maybe people just dont give a fuck. because when are you doing to see the person again? but manners are needed in a civilzed society.

The girl with the bad manners.
She sat there, plain as she was, and ate the entire table.
Literally. The meatloaf, the soup, the forks, even the porcelain gravy tureen.
All gone. Finished with a belch that woke the neighbors.
Rude.
Miriam
people dont have any.
they go down the toilet as soon as you get to know that person.
manners are the real extinct species of this world.
thank you and you’re welcome are as good as latin words these days; not used anymore.
sad but true.

People don’t have manners. Its extremely awkward with friends to have to feel like you’ve been borught up potentially ‘better’ than them, like when my girffriend was biting her toe nails while we were having a conversation, or when they dont return your calls or messages or voicemails, or when they simply dont let you walk ahead first, or don’t walk next to you when you’re walking down the street together,
or even the people in my apartment block stealing my mail, slamming their doors and not holding the door for me as if i’m some goddamn criminal. I pay the rent, i deserve courtesy.
Walk to the left on public pathways, and treat people how you’d expect to be treated. Ie, don’t be a dick.

Manners are atticates..The way one acts in front of others..Manners are very much required in every field of life. A mannered person is the one who gets success in every field of life and is always looked upon .

Today on the bus my buddy and a stranger got into an argument about manners. It was strange and very hypocritical. The man was calling my friend rude and accompanied it with a tirade of cuss words. Manners? Where?
Sheeda
Its manners that define us and separate us from the animals. If i went about behaving without manners would I be any different from the strays on the road

My mother was a woman who always enforced good manners. Whether it be at church or simply when there was company. But as soon as company left our home, my mother would let out disgusting amounts of gas. It was awful. I’m sure part of me has died in this house. It was just absolutely ridiculous.
Makana Queja
stupid. she thought to herself. Why should i waste my time. I have already been disowned. The moment papa found out about me and the driver i was finished. But the i will never be able to get over his face, the look of betrayal in his eyes.
Katherine
she sat down.
“sit up”
She sat up. the immediate reaction to years and years of scolding and painful corrections.
Carefully she placed her gloved hand on the table.
Katherine
something most people don’t have, not just young people old too my grandmother has the worst dinner manners it makes me sick to watch her eat with her mouth full
katie
Manners, manners, that was all living in this huge mausoleum had to say.”You must mind your manners” they would tell her…..and you know what??? She just couldn’t understand what the problem was. ….
Manners, What are they? Many people say that they are only for the rich, others say they are acquired with age but I, I think they are acquired by good parents and a great society.
Trevor Summers
some people have no idea about manners and that makes me sad. it isn’t a matter of what you were taught at home or in school or anywhere. it’s a matter of reaching inside and finding kindness, living the way man was meant to live, treating people with dignity and respect, not because it’s a rule, but because it’s the natural state of man. Love and Kindness. always.
Erica Cybulski
the mashed potatoes were smeared all over the top of the high chair and the feeling that this meal would never end with all the warbling being made by the toddler. She sighed as she wiped the wall down “you shouldn’t do this Joe, it’s not good manners”.
Banners, craning heads striving to see. All their manners were lost in the crowd as they clambered to see the one who now held the crown. They were ants beneath his feet. Really, they could struggle and claw like animals. Because now, with a new king on the the throne, they had no choice. Legent, as kind as a rabid dog but as intelligent as an alpha wolf. This was going to be a bad semester at King’s Cross.
Manners are really important to society because society depends on structure. If there were no manners, there would be no basic good or bad in society. People really need to be told what is right and not right, and manners help them acheive that. Manners are also enforced by religion, but not every agrees with religion, so it’s not as well received.
Meeti
“Thank you.”
It was the right thing to say in this situation, with the divorce papers sitting there. It was good manners to respond to his apology, even if Marcia had no intention of forgiving him. Her mother had taught her better than to ignore a perfectly well intended lie. “Thank You.”
Its weird you know manners
Who the hell invented manners?
Pintless
Someone telling us what to do, how, when just to keep others happy?
Bullshit
Be true to yourself and do what you think is right
Dont belive in manners
Believe in youself
Ale G
When you have manners you know how to behave around people and everyone notices it. If you lack manners then you aren’t well perceived or it’s less stressful to watch every movement you make,but it can cause problems in the end.
sammy
Manners are the important thing that so many people just don’t have or are never taught. Polite. Kind. Please and thank you. Simple. Or you can be rude and crass, and it’s very unattractive.
Jenn
manners are thought by parents at an early age. Its very important good manners are thought so children can become better human beings as they grow up. Manners include basic things such as treating other with respect, sharing, being kind and helping others. Society expects people to have manners in order to have a moral society. It contributes to well being amongst people and society at large.
sham
She didn’t have any. Joe regretted all of it. Seeing her across the room at Dale’s party, noticing her legs and her laugh, asking her what she was doing after…
He should have gone home to his wife.
She was chewing with her mouth open and this was a mistake
Lyndi
the illusion of respect conveyed by human beings who wish to be seen as pollite. quotations that are recycled by people partaking in cookie cutter conversations. bullshit.
Aero
Manners are important. I would in customers service and people who don’t have manners tend to ruin my day and the day of others. Manners need to be taught to children and even adults who were apparently raised without them. Seriously.
Katie
Manners aren’t seen very often in modern times. Everyone likes to think that they are too good and that they aren’t an important part of everyday life. When guys have manners, it is definitely a good thing. Our generation and the next are going to end up being horrible if the rest of humanity does not remember to use their dang manners!
Cassie
One’s manners define who they are. But sometimes, you have to screw the manners. Screw the pleases and thank you’s. You just have to climb over the table, splash the fancy suited guests with the overpriced wine and grab whatever it is you’re after. Because life is built on passion. Not pleases.
Manners are like dogs. we don’t know how to to keep them in line all the time, but at times, we definitely need them. Even in the worst of moments, our dogs can can keep us sane.
Gerardo Cervantes
Manners are something that do not seem to apply in modern society. Adolescents and children do not use them in favor of more fun behaviors. Old ladies want to teach them but don’t understand why they don’t want to learn.
Vincent Ruzzi
A kind word, an open door, a friendly smile. The few things we are told are right to do can have such an enormous impact on the individuals around us. They can start the mending process to a broken spirit, brighten a day once thought to only be spiraling downwards. We can be proper simply for the sake of such a thing, or we can do it for a bigger purpose. For sharing the lightness of our hearts or ignoring the heaviness to make someone else’s burden just a bit easier to bear.
Miriam
I’ve been reprimanded about my manners. Table manners, etc. I think manners are important. It was my friend Jessica whom said “you will be able to dine with poppers or royalty” in the words of her mother. Not sure whether my manners are great or not. I see I eat, I want I take. Politeness usually comes first but it really depends on how great the need is. Isn’t that like everybody? If there is a monopoly on want, manners seem to take the second seat in priority.
Kyra Soleil
Minding my manners, I carefully dabbed at the corners of my mouth with the fine linen napkin. My stomach was churning so fast, it was a miracle I could keep anything down. I glanced at Stephen. He smiled warmly at me. I felt encouraged so I looked down the table at his mother, the Matriarch of the family. She looked from Stephen to me and glowered. She mouthed the word “NO” at me and slightly shook her head as if to tell me Stephen would never be mine. The fight was on.
Manners are always required. Manners. Who made us think what is okay and what isn’t? Mind your manners mama said. Maybe it’s just because of the letter M. Mind your…I can only think of manners to be minding! but if i’m only minding my manners i cant be myself
Kat
“fuck it.” I mumble under my breath as I push past my sobbing mom and into the dining room where the rest of our family was seated.
“Sophie, sit down, darling.” my aunt says sweetly, politely, like an adult should act.
“No. I’m not sitting at this table full of ignorant twats.” I reply harshly.
The table was a mixture of gasps and eyes as big as saucers.
sunny
I wonder how it is that people got such different ideas about them. I cannot understand the social norms. I’m not a social person. I don’t really even want to think about set modes of behavior, I just want to enjoy cool things with other people.
Ben Coffman
whenever I read that word, I chuckle at the thought of all those years ago when the kids first heard the shut up, poop and manners joke. And after all this time, they still laugh whenever they re-tell it.
I have em, I know what they are, and I show people I have them.
dacid
I feel stifled by manners. Grinding through each day, making sure I say the right thing at every situation–you’d think it would have gotten less painful with so much practice. But every time I clip my nails and thank and apologize and dress up, I feel like screaming.
Zeffy Yeo
Manners are overrated. Manners are people trying to make other people think they aren’t really people because they don’t make mistakes. Manners are designed for perfection. Manners try to make us gods, but in our desire to transcend our humanity, we only exhibit it more. Manners are the because we are there. Without us there would be no manners. Rocks aren’t polite.
