There's a certain irony to the lack of tact in this post suggesting better manners. I suspect the point would be better received were it more politely made.

So from then on, when I wanted something, I said "please and thank you."
I think this was my first social hack. I just wish it had worked better!
I swear at least once there was more instances of "pls" and thnx" (there seems to be a significant overlap between people who overuse the words and people who don't bother to type them properly, though that may be the linguistic snob in me talking) than all other words combined. It backfired by making the message difficult to read so I binned it and read the next.
