The young liftman in a City office who threw a
passenger out of his lift the other morning and was
fined for the offence was undoubtedly in the wrong. It
was a question of 'please'. The passenger, entering the
lift said 'Top'.The liftman demanded 'Top, please', and
his demand being refused, the liftman hurled the
passenger out of the lift. While it is true that there
is no law that compels us to say 'Please', there is a
social practice much older and much more sacred
than any law which enjoins us to be civil. And the first
requirement of civility is that we should acknowledge a
service. 'Please' and 'Thank you' are the small change
with which we pay our way as social beings. They are
the little courtesies by which we keep the machine of
life oiled and running sweetly. They put our interaction
upon the basis of a friendly co-operation and easy
give and take instead of on the basis of superiors
dictating to inferiors. It is a very vulgar mind that
would wish to command when he can have the service
for asking and have it with willingness and good
feeling instead of resentment. If bad manners are
infectious, so also are good manners.
