I'm just wondering, since there seems to be a LOT of people on this site around my age............
It's been a subject on my mind for some time.
Was anybody else taught manners and etiquette by any of your teachers when growing up?
I don't mean like MIss Manners high society manners and etiquette, I'm talking about POLITE SOCIETY and PUBLIC manners and etiquette???
My grandma not only taught me how to behave and speak in public, many of my teachers did as well, even though it was not school curriculum.
Don't talk back to adults. You can speak to them, but no "sass mouth".
Don't walk behind adults, walk in front where they can see you, unless otherwise told.
Don't eat with your mouth open.
Don't scrape the utensils on your teeth.
Don't slouch, stand up straight.
Say "yes ma'am, no ma'am" and "yes sir, no sir" when answering adults.
Walk on the right side of the sidewalk.
Enter the RIGHT door. The right door is to enter, the left door is for exiting.
People coming OUT of a building have the right of way over people going IN.
ALWAYS look where you are going, and say "excuse me" if you bump somebody.
If you trip and fall, get up, dust yourself off, and keep on going.
Walk single file, not side by side, as other people have to use the sidewalk or the hallway.
If someone else falls, immediately ask if they need help. Only help if they want it, never force yourself onto anyone.
If you see someone struggling, offer to help them out the best you can.
Treat your friends like gold, because they are hard to find and easy to lose.
Respect the older people, as they have lived through it and learned from it. The best you can do is listen and learn something.
Don't belch or fart at the table, or when comany is over.
Learned lots of stuff during my schools years from different teachers and my granny. This is just some of it.
I ask, because nobody seems to know how to walk on a fucking sidewalk anymore, or pull their fucking shopping cart over to the side and not block the fucking isle. They don't even know which fucking door to use to go in and out of a fucking building, EVEN WHEN THEY ARE MARKED "ENTER" and "EXIT". Mind you, I know most of them are fucktard illiterates, but still.
So, I'm just wondering, especially if you are here in the South like I am.......did you learn manners and etiquette this way? Or was it just me?
