Wegmans, oh Wegmans

Just because Wegmans is crowded doesn't mean you can't be civilized. Trying saying "Excuse me" when you move your cart into the aisle. Even if you think it's the other person's fault. One woman made a 360 degree turn in the smallest aisle in the store, and never said excuse me. Evidently, she had astro-projected herself into a virtual, empty version of the store. Not. And why not say hello to the checkout clerk. Whoever it is also belongs to the human race. Just. Be. Civilized. Say "Excuse me." If you practice it, you'll feel better. And you'll be a better human being.

We are not playing jeapordy; the question comes first.

By the way, requests must come with a question mark. For example, if you need a pen, the correct way to phrase that is: "Do you have a pen I could borrow, please?

On the other hand, the statement "I don't have a pen" is just fact. It's not a request. Until you know how to ask politely, you are unlikely to get a pen, or anything else.

Be civilized: say hello to your neighbors.

Is there some valid reason why you don't acknowledge your neighbors when you see them walking (and waving at you) in your neighborhood? It's the only civilized thing to do.
