Courtesy, manners and tradition

[Edwina's Secretary]

And, it is polite to utter a thank you, or a smile of recognition.

I can only control what I do ..not the other guy...

I'd like to expand...I hold the door because that is what I was taught to do. Of course a "thank you" is nice and expected. But I do not know if the person's mother just died, they just got fired, they are puzzling out the solution to world peace and are distracted.

So if someone doesn't thank me...I will not let that make me behave in a way that is not polite. Kind of ruins the whole thing, doesn't it?
