Chapter 12
Page 87 Paragraph 4
Quote:
"I'm always saying "Glad to've met you" to somebody I'm not at all glad I met. If you want to stay alive, you have to say that stuff, though."

Saying "Glad to have met you" because it is the polite thing to do. Your parents teach you that kind of stuff when you're little, hopefully. It's like saying thank you to your friends mom for making dinner for you, you just say it because it is the polite thing to do, if you want to be remembered as a good polite person, and want to stay on their good side. If you told someone to their face that you don't like them, they might not be very nice to you later on in life if you ever meet them again. Manners will get you far in life if you use them correctly.
