\t\t\t\tDid you know that every year, March 21 is National Common Courtesy Day? Yup\u2014a full day devoted to reviving those little niceties that Mom drilled into your head. But, uh, just a teensy problem here…<\/p>\n
Well, hmmmm, I know that most of MY readers are far beyond that stuff. Saying excuse me? Not interrupting? Letting the pregnant woman on the train have your seat? Puh-lease\u2014you folks have got. It. Covered.<\/p>\n
So let\u2019s take it further.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m declaring an Uncommon<\/strong> Courtesy Day. You know\u2014the things you don\u2019t have to do, the ones no one would miss\u2014like running ahead to get the door for someone with a stroller; giving the only parking spot to the other driver, even though you saw it first; tipping when there isn\u2019t a tip jar; straightening unruly chairs before leaving the caf\u00e9; reloading the tp dispenser in a public restroom; properly re-shelving a book from the overloaded library cart. Easy peasy, right?<\/p>\n And if you\u2019re caught red-handed in the middle of an uncommon courtesy? If someone thanks you with a look of shock and surprise on her face, don\u2019t miss your opportunity\u2014tell her to pass it on. After all, it IS a holiday.<\/p>\n So what\u2019s your uncommon courtesy for the day?\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Did you know that every year, March 21 is National Common Courtesy Day?
