How important is politeness in your opinion?

Fan Of Arabian Horses

Hi friends!

How are you? I mean, I really hope you feel fine, do you? Beside of my wish all the best to you I have a question. How important is that little expression of kindness for you? For instance when you call someone you just know a bit. Today I called a provider of some service for the company I currently (and hope I?ll do it for a long time) work for and asked him the initial question. The man at the other side of the line obviously didn't know how to handle my inquisitiveness and confidentially babbled commonly about the fine weather.

So I?d like to learn how important it is for you to be friendly at the phone or in an e-mail?

It doesn't hurt to be friendly. If the person on the other end is a jerk about it, it's his or her problem, not yours.

I mean unless you're sitting at a bar or something and you break up a five-person conversation by blurting out, "What's up, peops?"... I see no problem with being friendly... or if you holler out a salutation at a wedding, while the vows are being done (which obviously nobody does... well I suppose there are cases, but those are few and far between).

So

I am fine. How are you?

Right now I'm taking a break from work. That's what y'all represent for me. It is why I love you so much.

I mean I love you all figuratively (didn't want to scare anyone with that fastball).

Hi T (Tom, I guess)!

I?m fine too, particular recently. Thanks for asking!

Well there is no problem with kindness. I just wondered what the matter was with my counterpart on Tuesday. Now I think that I?ve been able to figure out what made him that carefully hearing some kind words from me. I don?t want to tell the whole story but let me shortly explain: It had to do with money. He feared that I would have required some fortune from him for free Wink

so that he decided to pay attention on what I would tell him next. Funny, isn?t it? Okay, that?s life!! Rolling Eyes

How often have you experienced that people who expected you to require some fortune from them for free became anxious when you came across them friendly?

Do you feel good? Very Happy

I could use $5 for a Big Mac and two Snack Wraps at Micky D's (McDonald's).

...gimme (give me) extra sauce on all aforementioned items, please.
