35 Things People Need To Stop Doing

We often think in terms of what we need to start doing~we need start dieting, we need to start leaving earlier for work, we need to start spending more time with the kids~and so on and so forth. But I'm coming at you from an opposite point of view today. Could it be there's something that you need to stop doing? The following list will hopefully help get your wheels turning (should they need to turn in this area)...

35 Things People Need To Stop Doing:

1. Paying with credit cards.
2. Frowning.
3. Not saying :"Thank you."
4. Discounting their worth.
5. Being pessimistic.
6. Criticizing/complaining.
7. Coming sick to work.
8. Running stop signs.
9. Burning bridges.
10. Not voting.
11. Having a self-righteous attitude.
12. Not washing their hands after going to the bathroom.
13. Fighting.
14. Quitting before the job is done.
15. Showing up late.
16. Not paying their taxes.
17. Using deodorant only every other day.

21. Gaining weight.
22. Burning the candle on both ends.
23. Bad-mouthing their spouse in front of others.
24. Ignoring the needy.
25. Gambling with the rent money.
26. Not working when they're on the clock.
27. Promising they'll do something and then not do it.

29. Acting like a child when they're an adult.
30. Buying things they can't afford.

Great list. Definitely worth spreading around.

Ammendment I'd like to see:

Not saying "Uh huh", "You bet", "Sure" or worse; "Not a problem" when someone says "Thank You"
The most correct response is: "You are welcome".

Saying Never and Always.

BTW-since you mentioned living by your means and no credit cards I take it you are familiar with www.daveramsey.com ?

A great list for anyone.

And I totally agree with AHudson's comment.

"No problem" may seem like a modern or cool answer, but to me it is very demeaning and condescending.

Let's raise the standard of manners and respect for one another
