Manners Poll

[Randi]

I love it when people are holding the door for me - John did it all the time. I do too, if people aren't too far behind, as I'm always in a hurry.

What I really can't stand is when people jump a queue. It's unfortunately quite common in Denmark, especially by bus stops.

When I lived in England in 69, I wasn't really aware of the queue at bus stops, it seemed that people just stood around in no particular order, but I soon learned that there certainly was a queue!! British people are so much more polite - if you accidentially bump into them on a busy street, THEY say "I'm sorry".

I always say thank you & smile. I was raised to say please & thank you, and I am stunned by how many people have no manners whatsoever. I also raised my sons to be polite, and was often stopped by strangers commenting on how polite they were as children. They still hold doors, allow others through first, help with packages, help lift strollers- I'm so proud of them!
