I was newly on the walker so this attitude particularly bothered me that day. The older gentlemen looked at me then looked at the person who had given “the look” and shrugged his shoulders and gave me a little wink. He was probably in his nineties so there was nothing flirtatious in the wink at all. Just a moment of understanding of people thinking we’re in the way. A moment of compassion in this world is not something I would normally think of as good manners but it really can be.

Amen. This really opens peoples eyes too. They cant imagine buying a card and a stamp and writing by hand something so special to that person.

How about being punctual? Yes, everyone has an occasion that they are a bit late. However, habitually late people are simply telling others, “my time is more important than yours.” Being on time is courteous and a show o good manners! I have truly enjoyed reading all of the comments!

I work so hard to instill good manners in my children and it pays off when they put them to use without reminders! I think social media – and technology in general – has caused us to falter with manners because we can be kind of “anonymous” when communicating with others, especially if we don’t really know them in person. But that makes it that much nicer when people DO display good manners! When my kids were little and I used a stroller, there were numerous times I struggled to get through a door in a public place. Many times, someone went through it ahead of me and didn’t even notice and let the door slam in my face. But many, many more times, people would go out of their way to hold a door for me. I always thanked them profusely and I always pay attention for chances to do the same for others. Really, good manners are about making others more comfortable, so if I’m ever in doubt about what to do, I consider what would make someone’s day easier or more pleasant. There’s always time for kindness!
