Rant alert - manners!

I normally come away with "Ladies first but for you I shall make an exception"
That give's them something to think about as they are going to their car.

shocking
i always say thank you!

reminds of the time i skipped a queue - i was 7 and had been sent to the post office for the first time to buy a stamp for my mum. i had never been in a post office or bank or any such place before and i happily skipped to the counter and asked for a stamp, ignoring the queue of OAPs. One of them shouted at me - but i had no idea what he was talking about. happy days

I am afraid its a sign of the times, people just dont communicate or respect each other. Every time I play golf, I say good morning to the following group the first time I see them and also the group in front, as we all pass each other on adjoining fairways. Today was the first time neither group responded, I cant understand it. I think they must all be deaf, perhaps I should learn sign language.

Get the same all the time, i call it the FU Society.

Get it with driving all the time, my right of way.. FU i'm just going to pull out in front of you/ pull around an obstruction/etc anyway.

Open a door for someone, they just wander though like you are a doorman.

You look like a doorman:rofl:

I have just done my daily pop to Sainsury's to buy something for lunch

I get to the main entrance which isnt the largest, just about to walk through and see lady leaving with shopping trolley. So I do what gentlemen do and take one pace backwards to outside of the door and stand aside - nothing, not a smile, not a thank you nor kiss my ass. Worse still, I went to walk back in and exactly the same thing happened again!

Both women were, at least, middle aged - look out Monday cos I am coming through!

:rant:

One of the female directors where I used to work was notoriously bad for this.

The main door to the office had a bit of "sanp" in it when released.............

One Monday morning I decided to teach her a lesson and not hold the door open for her (she was 5 or so paces behind me walking in), Lucky for her she walked a bit slow and it swung shut when she was one step away.

Cue me in the boss' office for a dressing down. I responded with "If she said thank you when I held the door for her on numerous occasion previously then it wouldn't have happened".

After that I got a curt and mumbeled "Thank you".
