...giving your seat to a pregnant woman, speaking with at least two word sentences, driving manners, holding the elevator...just general courtesy...what happened to it?

What happened to you Joe? LOL

LOL, I saw that too.

Its called the modern age of equality

I'm normally quite courteous (I'm not sure I can spell it though) but tonight my patience was tested. I was queuing (I don't think I can spell that either) at the checkout when they decided to open another and shouted 'next please!' I stepped forward to be elbowed in the nuts by some chav who was queuing (?) at the other till. The reason I stepped forward to be served was that the person in front of the chav was collecting her change so she was about to be served anyway.
After she nearly destroyed any future hope I had of becoming a father, I limped back to the till I first queued at and was served super quickly and collected my change and made my way to the exit. I was slightly ahead of the chav and took great delight in letting the door swing back in her face. I looked back to her mouthing something at me but remained in total ignorance as I don't speak chav.

I have to admit I did feel a pang of guilt at nearly knocking her front teeth out with the door but comforted myself with the thought that her looks may have been improved.

I try not to get into that stuff, the ladies are really over the top sometimes

women are physicos!!!

Mostly true, lol

Sorry to hear that mikehunt. How about etiquette concerning chamberpots. Men, if there are five pots, and I'm standing behind the 3rd, and the rest are free, don't use the one next to me, cause that's weird, aight!

What does it mean in the real world?

I think many people are too wrapped up in their own lives these days to be concerned with others. It's really very sad that people can't be civil to one another on even a basic level. I hate it when people just walk through a door and then drop it behind them.

a simple act of courtesy will lighten up another persons feeling.but sometimes when you show some courtesy, other people dont even know how to reciprocate what you have done even with a simple smile or thank you.
