Manners Poll

[Alysser]

I always say thank you or at least try to. I may have not said thank you once or twice and I feel ashamed when I don't. I rarley hold the door open for anyone unless they are close behind me because people never say "thank you" anymore.

[Jessika]

Of course I do! That's just... the rudest thing ever if you don't

[Tollers-n-Dobes]

I always say thank you. It'd be pretty rude of me if someone was holding a door or something for me, and I just walked right past them without thanking them..

[Chilli]

I always say thank you. =)
Thats what my mum taught me to do! ^__^

[Argranade]

I usualy dont say thank you..either cause im too shy or just forget..

But I do try.

[cali]

I do, but I have an extremly quiet voice so most dont hear me and assume I am being rude lol

[Danegirl2208]

yes i say thank you..always

[critter crazy]

I always say thank you!! half the time I am the one holding the door!

[Suki Wingy]

yes, and I alway hold doors open for people. Sometimes if I forget or if they're a bit too far behind me I walk away fast from the door so that it looks like they were too far behind me to hold it open.

[Kfamr]

I always open and hold doors for people and it's only curteous to thank the person. So, when the door is opened or held for me, I thank them.

[Almita]

A lot of people open doors for me or keep it open. From sweet elderly people who are so kind. I always say Thank you to them. I just think its rude that someone doesn't say anything like the door was open on its own.

[BitsyNaceyDog]

Justin and I have been married for 6 years and he still ALWAYS opens doors for me, including the car door. I always say thank you.

I hardly ever get the chance to open or hold the door for someone else because Justin always always opens the door for me. He does open/hold it for others too and they usually thank him.

[Cataholic]

At first, I was like, "What? Of course!"...then, I read a few posts.

My manners (or lack of them) reflect on ME, not others. So, while I try to exhibit good manners at all times, when someone else doesn't- I don't get rude back. I have held doors for people that have 'forgotten' to thank me. So what? I am holding the door for them because of my upbringing, my manners. Not so that I am thanked in return. Same with greetings on the phone. I almost always say, "how are you" or some other polite greeting. Some people don't ask me the same thing. That's okay. I have manners, I help make the world a nicer place. They don't. Their shortcoming. Not mine. And, to point it out is rude, the very thing I am trying NOT to be.

Just imagine what it would be like if no one ever held the door for you - and no one ever said thank you for anything.

I hold doors for people - and when they are held for me, I always say thank you.

I think we can be an example to people who were never raised to know what manners are.

of course!
