    Wiper chatter from *protected* windshields? Look in here >

    Is it that hard to say "thank you"?

    A truly on-going pet peeve of mine, the simple gesture of "thank you" at the appropriate time is absent from many people's vocabulary. Specifically, when I hold a door for someone. Ok, if its a very busy place and there are constant people in and out, the door is always being held...
