Good manners sometimes means simply putting up with other people's bad manners.
there are few things i hate in this world on the same level as children. one word is just so vile, so vulgar, so puke-worthy that it brings a giant pulsating vein to my forehead. i hate the word 'please.'
tell me this, 'may i lick your dirty boots' vs 'may i lick your dirty boots please?' does it really sound that much better? i think not. i concede the latter sounds a pinch more erotic.
