Lost Rules

There are many things we tend to leave behind as we age - age in this case is at any age of reason. We leave them behind for one reason or another, primarily through neglect or not passing them along to the ones we are responsible for teaching - as a parent, teacher, counselor, etc. Here are some that are so simple you may wonder why no one seems to pay attention to them anymore. I believe they are "Lost Rules." See what you think. Feel free to add to them and/or make a copy for selected distribution. They certainly will not harm anyone:
Lost Rules
If you break it, fix it
If you don't know, ask
If you open it, close it
If you lose it, replace it
If you turn it on, turn it off
If you unlock it, lock it back
If you move it, put it back
If you turn it on, turn it off
If you throw it down, pick it up
If you drive it, check the oil and gas
If you ask for something, say please
If it isn't yours, keep your hands off of it
If you get what you ask for, say thank you
If it doesn't concern you, don't mess with it
If someone gives you a smile, give them one back
Remember that courtesy is always acceptable - everywhere
