Social etiquettes we could use a re-fresh on

[timb2]

Hold the door open for women

 

[timb2]

Offer to carry heavy stuff for women.

Change a flat tire for women.

 

[Creeper]

I think being considerate of others in general is a lost behavior.

 

[nobody]

Have the ten different scratch-off tickets your going to buy, picked out before it's your turn at the counter.

And don't buy scratch offs and then scratch them off right there at the counter when people are waiting in line behind you to make purchases.

 

[DFWJC]

I'll start.

1. hold the door open for someone behind you.

Don’t judge anyone….ever…based soley their skin color, regardless

 

[DFWJC]

Dont cuss like a sailor around people you don't know.

 

[Xelda]

Use your blinker to let others know your intentions.

WHAT? You want to know ahead of time what I'm planning to do? Forget it!

 

[DFWJC]

Say “thank you” and “please”

 

[nobody]

WHAT? You want to know ahead of time what I'm planning to do? Forget it!

You rebel!

 

[Point-of-the-Star]

I've had my *** handed to me by more than one woman who didn't take kindly to my legitimate attempt to show some respect.

*** 'em ! I don't say that but will kill them with my chivalrous smile.

 

[SlammedZero]

Have the ten different scratch-off tickets your going to buy, picked out before it's your turn at the counter.

So much yes!!! I hate this and I swear I always get stuck behind these people.

 

[SlammedZero]

My #1 is the courtesy wave when you let somebody into traffic. I didn't owe you that spot in traffic, but, I was trying to be nice and polite. For you not to give me a 'Thank You' gesture just gets me so fired up. lol

I always, always, always give a thank you wave. Even if I have to roll my window down and stick out my arm so they can see it.

 

[timb2]

Knock on someone's office door before entering instead of just walking in

 

[Hardline]

Respect our elders.
Treat them with reverence.

 

[InTheZone]

don't talk while you eat
put your hand over your mouth when you sneeze or cough
give up your seat to an older person.
say THANK YOU

I actually don't like when people put their hands over their face when they sneeze or cough, all I think about at that point is "are you going to wash your hands before you touch everything?" I've always faced down and used my arm or elbow.

 

[InTheZone]

being able to have a civil conversation and disagree without insulting the person on the other end or having people think having a civil conversation will always lead to a shouting match.

edit: is this thread just making fun of certain individuals or do most people not do most of what's been posted so far?

 

[InTheZone]

Take your hat off indoors, especially at a dining facility.

sorry, but my hair is a complete ugly mess if I wear a hat and take it off lol

 

[Rack]

sorry, but my hair is a complete ugly mess if I wear a hat and take it off lol

Mine too but I'm more worried about being respectful than I am being presentable.

To each their own I guess, I just hated being in a DFAC in Afghanistan where there are signs posted all around saying "No headgear allowed in DFAC" yet people (contractors) would keep their hat on.

 

[JustChip]

Public toilets. I don't expect people to treat it like they're home, but don't be disgusting slobs either. It's not that difficult. A lot of man children out there.

The problem is many of those you speak of are treating it like their home.

 

[JustChip]

Use your blinker to let others know your intentions.

And how about putting it on BEFORE starting to turn or change lanes! I think I’ve figured out they’re changing lanes by the time they’re 1/2 way over - what’s the point of the signal at that point?
