Love the list. I'm going to print it off and take it with me.
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".
And You have to call people back, when you are the listing agent - not you someone else
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
Something I am personally working on: not interrupting others during a meeting.
I dont bad mouth my spouse in public ever. My mom's not the public, right?
I love these especially the self righteous attitude of sum poeple.
I'm guilty of the "not a problem" and wasn't aware it sounded demeaning, will make a mental note to self. Thanks for the list.
It's ok to act as a child sometimes
