“Life is not so short but that there is always time for courtesy.”

There is something about etiquette that should be somewhat automatic.

For instance, you don't just go into someone's wallet and take their money, regardless if they owe it to you or not.

You are polite, and maybe subtly remind them of the money they owe you, and then they will give it to you themselves.

Or, what if, say, you accidentally eat something that wasn't meant for you, and are caught.

Earlier that day, your dad had given you money to buy a ticket, and expected $10 in change.

But instead, you inadvertently eat those chocolates that weren't meant for you, and your mother freaks out and demands you pay for more, and without your permission, digs in your purse and takes the money that you owed your dad, out of your wallet for herself.

Some things, you just don't do.

One of them, is to take money out of someone else's wallet regardless of the situation.

Also, has anyone noticed how disrespectful it is to be late?

To just walk in right in the middle of when someone is talking?

Well, it is extremely rude. Not to mention embarrassing for yourself, what with a bunch of beady eyes all shifting in your direction because of all the noise you make entering the premises.

You can almost hear their thoughts in the thick silence:

'Late again, as usual.'

'Do they just not care?'

'Such a disturbance.'

Probably the absolute worst thing about being late, is when it's not your fault.

How about those last few times you were two minutes late for work, and your boss yells at you for not being on time, and threatens to deduct the time from your paycheck.

You try to tell him "My mother made me late," because really, it is the truth, and there was nothing you could do about it whatsoever.

Of course, as anyone would, he says, "Oh, blaming it on the mother, are we?"

Or, "Take it like an adult, and stop making excuses for your actions."

That's a fun one.

Some people are just terrible at prioritizing, and have never grasped the concept of pacing themselves. It is really the most irritating thing, and you would think after a few situations of embarrassment would be enough to be on time.

Some people just lack in dignity.
