Mind your manners!

Why don't people say please or thank you anymore these days?

It really frustrates me.

I have coursemates who skip classes all the time (when I say skip, they probably only attend 35% of their classes!).

Even better, most of my coursemates actually come 30 minutes - an hour after a class have started.... and a class typically lasts only 1 hour 40 minutes.

Of course, it isn't a problem when they're skipping the class. The only problem comes when they do not know how to do the assignment or do not know where to look for information for the assignment.

And who do they ask when they are lost?

Me.

Yes, always the easy target.

Why? Because I actually take the effort to make it in time before a 9am class starts and I sit in for the 3 hour classes even if the lecture bores the hell out of my guts.

And I DO mind when people don't turn up to classes and then proceed to ask me a million questions.

What's worse though, are coursemates messaging me on Facebook asking obvious questions they should know the answer to if they have attended the class, and then after giving them what they want, they just disappear.

They don't say thank you.

That is just disgusting.

I am not rude enough to pretend I didn't get their messages, so these days I just say I don't know, I'm sorry, I can't help you.
