The whole time I was in Chicago, I felt like I was the only one who said excuse me, please, thank you, and have a nice day, or smiled at the cashier or picked up something that an old lady dropped, and I did it because I’m from the boonies and that’s just what you do, goddammit. You smile and wave at strangers because it makes you both feel good, and you mind your damn manners because it’s the right thing to do. I wonder when everything turned ass backwards.
