I'm always polite; so are my own children and the children I teach (at least with me). But I think generally speaking, society is becoming less polite.

Being polite
I always say 'Sorry' if I come into contact with strangers in the street, supermarket etc. If nothing else, it sets a good example to my kids and hopefully they don't have to watch me getting decked. I do the best I can to apologise if I do something stupid in my car (still looking for a little neon 'Sorry' sign to flash). Apparently, that makes me a doormat, but I am so far unbruised and unbroken..
i was raised that manners cost nothing and educated to use them, from no elbows on tables to please and thankyou.
but sadely there are more and more people who dont seem to have manners, some of this appears to be people just expecting stuff so dont see why they should thank anyone for doing whats expected.
it surprises me how shocked some people are when you are nice to them, shocks me more when people cant even say sorry or thank you like when you hold a door open or when driving and let some one out, now that reallly gets my goat.

Hmmmm ... your point about opening doors to people who then don`t say thankyou kinda brings me round to another point !!
If I do something for somebody ......such as opening a door ....and they fail to say anything ....I must admit I do say .....rather loudly.....
"You`re welcome, don`t mention it"
ops: Does that make me rude ....shouldn`t I just accept that they are morons ??
:giggle: :giggle: omg i do the same thing lol.
but some one once said dont do it for the thanks do it for being polite, or some shit like that lol

Me too. And it isn;t doing it for the thanks. It is a reminder to them that THEY are being impolite. I think half the problem is that people think there is so much bad manners they have given up expecting better or objecting when it's lacking.
I'm a bit of a stickler for manners - especially in the car - acknowledging being let out is mandatory as is holding doors for others and thanking those that hold them for me.
BUT, I don't stand there for 20 or 30 people to gfo through. I'll hold it for one or two, or a family. But then I make eye contact with the next lot and start to drop the door. They get the idea and pick it up from me. To be honest, I rarely have to do that. I think the majority of people respond in kind. Maybe manners are catching - like laughter.
One of my fave things is letting people out at junctions in Birmingham - they are so surprised they have been known to stall. LOL Naughty I know.
