Or more simply put, Manners,
If you initiate an enquiry by private / direct message, have the manners to complete, rather than ignore further messages to your inbox.

He he - nice one Steve

Number of enquiries I get that are answered then the reply isn’t even acknowledged

I’m sure there are many others in a similar position

Manners maketh the man eh ,,,,

 

[Fosbery Holster]

The number of forum members who ask for help/advice on multiple various topics, inevitably another member comes in with the information needed, then……..nothing, no reply no thanks no follow up, it does make me wonder if these people were taught any manners.

Manners cost nothing !

I could get fed up carting Keith's bits & bobs back & to from the man cave, to give further details, but I'll stick at it.

I was once tasked with keeping the Grandchildren alive for a couple of hours.

Nothing I really wanted to do, but apparently I have a 'duty of care' to the little feckers.

One of them asked for some fruit to go on their meal.

"What fruit would you like?

"Blueberries!"



"What's the magic word?'

"Abracadabra!"...






Little shite...

It seems a common fact these days with many people. It occurs on here from time to time. Usually, I may add from newbies on the site. They enquire about booking stalking, then nothing................................................ in the USA they call them tyre Kickers.

Hopefully you showed them a card trick !

No, but I was glad to see them 'disappear' at the end of my 'shift'...

Fwiw my two kids (now 19 and 17) are polite to a fault, sometime I wish they would get their elbows out and not be so. But they are always invited back and peo0le comment on how nice they are.

When their friends visit, the contrast is sometimes quite spark, but if they want something and don't ask nicely they'll do t get until they do.

 

[Morkai]

Depends how you were brought up.

I was in the kebab house the other week, loads of kids came in, about 12 or 13 yr olds.

"Chips!"

*receive chips, walk out, say nothing*

I asked the chap who runs it if they're all like this, no please, no thank you. He said, the kids from the good families around here have manners, the kods from the rough ones ones don't.

I have an almost awkward feeling in public when observing people who omit please, thank you and other common courtesies towards people that are serving or helping you.

I am (I hope) polite to everyone with whom I interact.

If you are not 'polite' to those who serve you food and drink, not only are you rude, you are asking for trouble...

Maybe they are a bit simple (or simply don't care).

 

[FrenchieBoy]

I was brought up in such a way that good manners were always drilled in to me, and if my parents found out that I hadn't been polite I would cop one round the ear. Nowadays I do a bit of busking to top up my pension and always make a point of saying "thank you" whenever someone gives me a "tip", after all it costs nothing more than a second or so of my time but it really can make all the difference! Fortunately my two step sons were brought up to be polite and they are now teaching their young children to be polite also!
The same applies to anyone who messages people on a forum, it's nothing short of good manners to reply with at least a "Thank you"!

 

[Klenchblaize]

Threads like this and "why can't I vote using my FAC as a means of ID" really boil my foooking urine!

Modern way I am afraid. So called professionals do it. You apply for a professional job go through the process and if you don't get it ... nothing. Self obsessed arseholes IMO.

I like to give the unsuccessful candidates feedback on our choice, if I can't directly, I get the recruitment team to pass on the information.

I have to say it does hack me off a bit when someone PMs with a request for help or information, and you reply in some considerable detail, and there's not even a "thanks" or a "" in reply.
Thankfully it doesn't happen very often, but it shouldn't happen at all.

Old thread, I know. Seems some still can't be bothered with basic courtesy though
