Basic etiquette

[Ed Anger]

You know what grinds my gears? When I hold the door open for a woman and she gets all angry at that. WELL FUCK YOU TOO BITCH.

Feminist cunts.

If there is another door, do you allow her to hold the door open for you?

She's unable to, after Ed punches her in the face.

If somebody opens the door for me, I tip my hat and give them a 'Thank you'. I don't launch into a screed about not needing the door held for me.

Unless it is a wetback holding the door open, then he gets all indignant.

I love Mexicans. They do wonderful work fixing my roof and picking my grapes.

I have do have poor social etiquette, I'm afraid.  For instance, I'm not allowed to answer the phone anymore since I kept shouting "who the hell is this", "how did you get this number", instead of "hello".  Then there was the brick thing last month...

I'm not bothered much by breaches of etiquette per se.

Of course not.  In your line of work, you have to be more concerned about coolant tank breaches.

Nothing wrong with that.

I don't drink the coolant.

I just figured he was used to animal-like behavior.

As most of you know, I was raised in a very lower-class, poor environment. I was taught basic etiquette like to say please, thank you, excuse me, etc. But I didn't learn a good bit of the other kind of stuff. Like, I was 25 before I knew that it was considered polite to say excuse me when you walk in front of someone. (I believe that's pretty much been amended to "whenever you have to invade someone's personal bubble" now, whether it's in front of, behind, or next to.)

So I'm curious. What are some of the most basic etiquette gaffes that you see regularly? I'm interested to know how many I make on a daily basis. 

I think a generous, thoughtful or considerate nature towards others will cover most of the bases of good manners.

The rest of it seems to be silly class based opportunities to look down upon others, so are best ignored anyway.

I do the same, though I had to learn that bit of nicety. Being a feminist doesn't mean that a person can't be gracious, too.

Women have gotten way too uppity lately.
