Comments on: Respect For Simple Etiquette http://blessed1.wordpress.com/2007/02/19/respect-for-simple-etiquette/ an uplifting blog in a crazy world Sat, 19 Dec 2009 19:58:07 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: blessed1 http://blessed1.wordpress.com/2007/02/19/respect-for-simple-etiquette/#comment-1871 blessed1 Fri, 12 Sep 2008 05:39:49 +0000 http://blessed1.wordpress.com/2007/02/19/respect-for-simple-etiquette/#comment-1871 Tim, Thanks wholeheartedly from a mom who once pushed one of those strollers. Now I can see not letting a woman of your own age, in your twenties maybe?, sit down instead of you...after all you're raised in a different era. So not extending that courtesy to someone of your own age maybe is fine for a girl your own age. but to not give an elderly lady, 65+ in years, a seat when there's not one for her anywhere else??? I'm not responding to sound rude so don't take this the wrong way at all.... but please tell me you would at least think of helping someone who needs that chair/seat more than you...a little humility to the older generation is always a good thing.

But there is no way that I am going to give up my seat, just because someone is a woman. Just because someone is a woman does not mean she has more rights than me. If I am sitting down on a bus I am not giving up my seat to someone just because she is a woman. I have just as much of a right to sit down as woman do.

And you can be glad you kept your cool! :-) The day will come, maybe it's already here, when you'll be able to let a few rude-ies "overhear" you teaching your own how to be courteous and polite. And there's always the opportunity to make the courteous one feel really special. "Why thank you. That - (referring to their kindness) was CLASS!" When recognized and sincerely appreciated it has a way of multiplying - I think you're right though, we have a ways to go. Phil— You had a right to be angry!

I have noticed that men that work in the same building as me do it all the time! They don't say thank you if you hold the door open for them. Last I checked I am a girl and they are a guy so clearly I am stuck in a parallel universe as there is no other explanation as to why you are not holding the door open for me. I always make sure to say "your welcome" to anyone that does not say "thank you" when the door is held or some other common courtesy is performed. This happens all the time now a days it seems.

I live in central Texas and for the most part, people are fairly courteous. That's not to say we don't have our share of rude and inconsiderate people. I also notice that school-aged kids around here fall short when it comes to manners, courtesy and respect. We've heard it a million times, but it all comes down to parenting. Eventually, these kids will have children of their own and I cringe to think that these behaviors will perpetuate. Blessings, David. Amen, amen, amen!

I find Southern California to be horrible, whereas when I was in Canada, people were awesome! I always hold the door open and offer my seat! People are just so into themselves now!
