This is a new segment of the blog. The idea came from the thought that Miss Manners is too nice. Plus, I believe there are some points she missed. So, here we go....
- If someone sends you an invitation to an event...RESPOND to it, and I don't care if it's an online invite or a mailed paper invite. It's called an RSVP(Répondez s'il vous plaît), which is French and therefore probably not strong enough to make a point in our pig-headed American brains. Maybe we need something a little clearer here in the States like, "Please let me know if you're freakin' comin' because only d-bags don't respond.....". If you've ever planned an event, wedding, party or get-together you KNOW what I mean.
- Never rely on the auto-flush toilet to take care of your business, hang around for a sec and make sure one flush was enough. While I recognize and appreciate the usefulness of the auto-flush feature as a sanitizing measure it still strikes me as one of those "improvements" that gets us one step closer to being fat, lazy pigs. If you've seen Wall-e you can see where I'm going. Traditionally, if you wanted to avoid nasties on the toilet flusher, you picked up your foot and flushed. This brings me to make two points:
- It's very unpleasant for the rest of us to walk in on a stall and see what's left of your bodily functions.
- Auto-flush or manual (oh, the humanity!) the best way to avoid nasties in the bathroom is to WASH YOUR NASTY HANDS!
