Couth is a word that I use a lot. If you don’t know what it means, why don’t you edumacate yourself a little bit and look it up. I’ll even save you some time, here’s a link: couth.
Anycouthy, now that we are all on the same page I will continue with my rant. So my best friend Bright Star and I were talking about the annoying things that people do (an often occurrence), and I was reminded of this move, and as it is LITERALLY one of my biggest pet peeves I thought that I would share:
Ready? Now pay attention…
If someone holds a door open for you, you must say “thank you” or even a quick “thanks” will suffice. Hell, just nod your head and smile, or (to make it REALLY simple for everyone) just move your lips in a general upward direction, thus indicating the hint of happiness. Now (and this is important) you have to make sure that said door holder can see you smile or else it does not count, in which case you must produce an audible “thank you”. DO NOT simply walk through the door and continue on your merry way. I (or whomever else is holding that door open for you) IS NOT A SERVANT. Unless you want to drop a couple bucks into the hand that is not busy holding a door for your lazy, entitled ass, then you must thank the door holder.
That is all for now, please continue on your merry way and don’t blame me if your ass gets kicked later due to the fact that you did not heed my warning. I can only hold your hand (or door as the case may be) for so long before you need obtain a little couth of your own.
