    Default Manners

    Imagine this. It's pouring it down with rain and there's Zeldy and some old woman at the bus stop. The bus comes so I stand into the rain and allow the old woman (with a huge umbrella) to get on first, and she didn't even look me in the eye or say thank you or ANYTHING. I just stood and got all my hair wet to not even get a smile or a "thanks". This often happens and eventually I'll lose patience and just push passed them and take a seat.

    Would you say you have good manners? Does it annoy when people don't?

    I always try to say thanks to the bus driver when I get off too, but my St Helens accent comes through and I end up saying "taahhhh!". ;_;

    I say "Cheers, Drive!" to the driver. And I chat up my college bus driver, because she's brilliant.

    And I hate old people people with no manners. There's no need to be such a moron. Incidentally, EoFF has had a sudden increase in old people.

    I tend to think I have excellent manners. I let old ladies go first. I stand up for other people in the bus. I open doors for people. I help the people I live with without asking for anything. I do what I can.

    I was raised by video games and have no manners, nor time to waste on people who feel socially obligated to say please, thank you, yes sir. What a bore.

    I'm very polite. I stand and wait my turn and hold doors open for people. And I say thank you, depending on who you ask I say it too much. But I've come to find that old people and teenagers are rude no matter what. I can't get either group to hold the door for me and they never say thank you when I do it. Little kids and adults are pretty polite though. I know I'm being general as there are nice teenagers and although very, very, very rare nice old people.

    correct. I always hold the door open and I often have chats with old people at the bus stop, I once even walked to the post box to deliver this woman's mail, so I hate that generalization xD

    That's what bugs me when they don't even smile or acknowledge you when you do do something good. I often hear old women tutting and moaning about the teenager who hadn't let them on before them so it bugs me when I don't even get a smile.

    I'll tackle old people to get first in the bus line! I'll kick and bite to get the best seat! I punch the bus driver in the face and shut every door extra fast if someone else is coming! If a lady has trouble crossing the street, I'll pull her hair and snatch her crutch! That's how I do it!

    I'm generally polite, but I can't stand old people half the time, especially at a bus stop.

    Send those old bastards into space.

    EDIT: I have no say in what the link says, firefox automatically renames it that. For the record.

    despite not being polite at home, i frequently hold doors for other people when im out and about, & i'm polite to strangers. (not usually to friends, cause thats the way i am xD)
    old people are all hypocrites who dont realise that teenagers hate them cause they're all mardy & constantly complaining
    I made one myself for a change! Although you can probably tell that..

    Im always polite to everyone i see through the day, if anyone is rude to me though ill get my own back some way
    And old people annoy me when they dont say thanks or please, theyre all just to stereo-typical about teenagers

    If I was like Cloud I don't think I would have taken that test.
    Changed to stop Jessweeee♪ from going insane. Is that better?
