How Well Mannered Are You?

I usually stand up on a bus and give my own seat to older people. Also, I use the respectful words like 'po' and 'opo' (Tagalog words) as a sign of respect.

You pretty much covered it all except for those few who think everyone wants to know what they have to say and can't talk in a reasonable tone of voice when in public, the ones who talk so loud you can hear them for a block.

I think that I'm pretty well mannered. My parents made us say please and thank you and taught us by example how to be well mannered. I'm doing the same with my kids. The forget sometimes but they are on 5,3 and 1. But they say please and thank you a lot more than most kids I've seen. I also have made sure they covered their mouths. They have done it from a very young age. There is a major lack of manners and respect these days. Sad.

I try to have good manners. I still open doors for people and say please and thank you. Like you I am annoyed by all the people that are constantly talking on their cell phones. I also hate it when I buy something at a store and the person does not thank me. That really annoys me.

Acting with manners is a good thing and it make people love each other, and make the communication between people more reasonable and less hateness. For me I am acting in a lot manners that make some people think I am a fool, but sometimes when there are a situation from some people who act with no respect to their self or for me I will act as they do so they know I am not that much foolish. I teach my kids how to act in a good manner with other people and that is so good to them to grow up, so they will respect their self before respect other people.
