About Us

Hello and welcome to our nice collection of everyday questions and answers.

Everyday-Courtesy.com is a side project of the employees of IdeeOle, an innovation management software company (Website, Xing).

In our daily work with customers during office hours, when discussing new features, and at social events, we are often confronted with situations where we need to politely state our point of view or make a request without being rude.

The project began with a paper-based collection of work-related questions and answers to these situations and quickly expanded to general social situations.

In the summer of 2020, we decided to publish our best practices online on this website.

If you are interested in contributing to this collection, please feel free to contact us.
