Klaus' lessons in manners

Dear Mr Klaus,
Is it ever wrong to point out when people forget to say please or thank you? - Confused in Kentucky

Dear Confused.
Yes. It's very wrong. Allow me to provide an example:
According to WSB-TV Atlanta, a gentleman was holding the door open for a stranger. This stranger did not say thanks, so the gentleman told the stranger to say thank you. The stranger took offense at this, and shot the gentleman.

Don't let this be you. Some people don't like being reminded to say thanks. However, this stranger is a special case. Ask him to do something nice and he'll do something mean. This probably means that when the news interviewed the gentleman, and the gentleman told the stranger to turn himself in, this stranger is probably going to go out and burn down an orphanage.
