Asking nicely


This is probably the nicest anti-smoking sign I've seen.  There's a (minor) spelling mistake, but I appreciate that anyone is trying to communicate with English speakers here, so I've got no problem with a mistake here or there.  What strikes me is the 'nice' qualification to request for cooperation - I think that sort of politeness and friendliness is something particularly Thai.  

Anyhow, I've never lived anywhere before where someone asking me to obey the rules was actually this nice about it.
