"Most people don’t notice I’m polite, which is sort of the point. I
don’t look polite. I am big and droopy and need a haircut. No soul would
associate me with watercress sandwiches. Still, every year or so someone
takes me aside and says, you actually are weirdly polite, aren’t you?
And I always thrill. They noticed."
An excellent article! I highly recommend politeness.
"Sometimes I’ll get a call or email from someone five years after the
last contact and I’ll think, oh right, I hated that person. But they
would never have known, of course. Let’s see if I still hate them. Very
often I find that I don’t. Or that I hated them for a dumb reason. Or
that they were having a bad day. Or much more likely, that I had been
having a bad day."
