It's a good thing. I'm all for honesty, clarity in communication, respect and all that good stuff, but I abhor all these arbitrary social norms that serve absolutely no purpose. One that really gets under my skin is being told "thank you" at a store or restaurant. One time a worker told me thank you from all the way across the McDonalds; just yelled it across the room like no person would ever do outside of work. It's not normal human behavior. I didn't do anything to benefit them. They're not saying thank you, they're performing an arbitrary action so they'll continue to be allowed to work to survive. It's done out of fear of starvation and homelessness. Stop making people wear stupid "professional" clothing too. It's useless. You have to be all careful and not get your pretty little useless clothes dirty. "OMG is that a wrinkle? Please someone help me do this basic task because I can't get my little outfit dirty". I say stop trying to make people act like robots. The life is already being sucked out of the everything in every way the parasites can manage to find. Why make it worse?
