can you add , please , to your command

Yes me too... I feel like saying... "what? are you the boss now? am i your slave?" Even when the person has no intention of making you feel like a slave, sometimes it makes us think that it's a little rude for them not to at least say please... cos like you, I am a person who would do something when asked for a favor.

I also find it impolite to hear a command without saying please... I can even praise my 2-year old son more than the adults because my baby knows how to add please when he wants something (and it's cute to hear it) And I get more annoyed that the one asking gets angry if they do not get what they want. In my personal opinion, it really should start within the family that parents should teach their children to say please and thank you as well. Because if these are not practiced at home, they will not learn to use them and practice them outside.

I totally agree! It was ingrained in me as a child to always say please, thank you, or your welcome. But when asked to do something thank you or please can be so easily added that it makes no sense not to just add it. People will respond so much better if you add those words after your request.

There is no harm in adding please, it might be courtesy, but it makes one feel good, my juniors and even some seniors always address me as Sir, thanks for sharing

I dislike commanding voice, even if it is my hubby; while i was working as a lecturer in 1968 my principal once talked as if he was commanding me, i told him on his face, Sir please talk in a decent manner..this i told in front of others there, he felt ashamed

Thank you is such a two simple words but it says a lot. This is the thing i am so particular with. One must be grateful always even for little things. If a person say thank you , i presumed then that this person lived a life full of values. It reflects the whole personality of a person.

I'm also bothered when someone asks me to do something without even saying please. I feel it's impolite of them to do so especially if these are requests which I'm not obligated to do. I do however don't mind if it's work-related like a set of instructions given by someone in a higher position than that of mine. Getting bothered with such might affect the quality of work I do.

A pleasant day to you, I can't explain why other people do not use the word "please" whenever they asked for a favor. Hence this should must be said automatically whenever a favor is being asked. I guess, some people should be given a tutorial on how to use it. As they usually forget. Same as you are, I am also annoyed whenever somebody told me to do something without using that word.

Please is a good word and anyone can ready if we are saying as request manner if we needs others help and using like command words then I think nobody will ready for it. I like to say please and sorry many times if I needs others help or some wrong happened due to me.

Yeah it is really important to say please. I am always like that with other people. I guess part of the culture or teachings that my parents thought to me. Saying please especially when asking favor to someone is really important.

Hi SIMPLYD, I totally agree with you...from the time I was able to understand and take lessons from my Mother and other adults, I have been taught to say Please and Thank You.. and if you forget that magic word, I really will remind you Its just a great part if mannerism... Thank God my 13 year old grandson gets so many people telling him how mannerable he is because he ALWAYS says "yes please and no thank you and Thank You"...I am really proud of him....

If you don't say "please" before you want me to do something, I'm probably not going to do it. When not saying "please", it sounds like you're demanding me to do somthing and I don't like to be demanded of doing anything. I even taught my grandson the magic word "please" if he wanted me to do anything for him.

Saying "please" is something that is taught at an early age. I remember back when we were still little our parents will always make us repeat our statements properly with "please" or "may I". Otherwise, we will be ignored. I also know that in school, we have GMRC and we were also being marked for good conducts and the like. In all those years of being in school, being polite must be instilled to us all those years. When one still fail to be courteous enough to use "please", that must mean that that person is hopelessly rude.

Please and Thank You should always be used when making a request. One thing that I find unforgivable online is the lack of the P&Qs used. We get asked things without a PLEASE and are seldom THANKED - Pure ignorance Thank you for this post

I'm so silly with this, when someone ask me a favor without saying the magic word "please" then you are sorry coz no matter how loud you are, I can't hear you!
