Have you ever walked up to a mall entrance (or even worse a slow to come elevator) and have someone walk in just in front of you who lets the door close behind them just before you get to the door (or worse, let it close on your with a hand full of bags)? It is a little frustrating to deal with the door closing on you and even more frustrating to miss the elevator and have to wait 15 minutes for it to come (if you have never had to wait 15 minutes for an elevator I can give you some buildings to visit).
If you are walking through a door, just take a quick look behind you to see if anyone is behind you. You do not have to hold the door for them and let them go through first, just take a few extra seconds and hold the door until they get to it. If someone holds the door for you, do not forget to say "Thank you."
There are many little things people can do everyday to make life just a little bit easier on themselves and others. Using your turn signal is just one of them. Aside from your horn and your finger it is the only other way we can communicate with other drivers. I am trying to compile a list of other little things and keep it here
I first came up with the idea for this after living in an east coast city known for bad drivers. I was constantly annoyed at people cutting infront of me from the left and the right while not using their turn signals. I had several close calls and got very annoyed and frustrated with other drivers which transferred into the rest of my life. I began to notice other things that though small in and of themselves contributed to my overall level of aggravation. I began to think about whether there would be less stress in my life if people just did the "little things."
So far I have only managed to convince two people to start using their turn signals. Hopefully I will convince more, but I really created this blog to collect my list and take suggestions that anyone else may have.
