  2. In order for people to be able to coexist in peace, everyone needs to be able to be polite towards each other. This is in my view the responsibility of parenting to ensure that the next generation is capable of performing within the confines of social etiquette, in other words, being polite.

  4. It’s hard. It really is. Once you start speaking your mind, remembering to actually tell people things nicely is an active challenge.

    But it’s worth it. It is worth your time to challenge yourself and to think before you speak. To consider how your actions might impact another person…instead of freaking bringing up the fact that one time literally a decade ago when I kind of sort of broke your son’s heart, Helen. He’s forgiven me for that. We’re still friends. Why can’t you just let it go?

    See. Not like that.

  5. So many people are polite. Some on purpose others on accident. The ones on the accident are to be feared. They don’t know that they’re being nice. It’s a habit for them.

  6. He looked at her and tried to see past the polite smile she often used when prompted to come out from behind her mother’s skirts. Her long dark hair, often restricted in a bun, now hung well below her shoulder blades, fanning out behind her like waves, shifting slightly every time the wind blew. Her eyes – large and brown and unflinching as ever – met his gaze without hesitation, and he realized that she was every bit as strong as her brothers, with nerves of steel and something like fire, and he leaned in to kiss her.

  7. I think you should be especially polite to people that you are just meeting, but I also think that you should be polite to people you know very well. Even your siblings, however hard that may be.

  9. she was quiet and so they thought she was polite. like those always go hand in hand. the truth was she was mean. she didn’t say much out loud to them but she sure would mutter nasty words under her breath to me. in line she’d pinch and have her hands back in her pockets in a second.

  13. To be polite, one must hold their tongue. They must stand their ground, yet not utter a sound. They must appease every single one of their colleagues, even if perhaps they are wrong. One must hold their fork and knife in the correct hands, at the correct angle, at the correct time. But courtesy isn’t always required, and some bastards should just be stabbed in the eye by tines.

  19. She cleared her throat. “Excuse me?”
    He barely looked up, “Yes?”
    “Andy…”
    At the sound of her voice saying his name, his eyes shot up to hers and his expression shifted. “Oh my God.”
    “I know I shouldn’t just barge in here… that’s not very Midwest of me.”

  20. I am politely rude, if I speak then I am discreet but not always in the mood. I want to feel good and like I am worth it.

  21. i can’t write words
    they come out in jumbles
    too long too verbose
    overdosed on inconsequence
    trying to get a point across
    the anti human humanity future
    a creativity seems to be the last bastion of humanity
    pour me pour another
    polite passe passing grades
    strike me asunder
    when will it be right again
    how can i just write again?

  22. How to politely decline this offer? She knew he, too, was only being polite by offering for her hand. It just did not feel right to accept, even if tradition and custom kind of forced her to. She sighed. “Can I sleep over this?”
