Saying "Excuse Me" - Do's & Don'ts
> You Do
Say, "Excuse me," when you have to interrupt someone, like the librarian at your school who may be reading a book (that's what librarians do), to ask where the old National Geographic magazines are located.
> You Don't
Just stand around and wait fifteen minutes, hoping the librarian will finally notice you standing there.
> Why
It is perfectly all right to ask a question. "Excuse me" was invented for moments like this - when you need to get some one's attention.
