    My father absolutely hated being called "driver" by people on the bus because he felt that the way they said it equated him to some kind of chauffeur.

    I always try to be as well mannered as I can be because I think it's a decent thing to do and that everyone should do their utmost to be polite and be appreciative of kind gestures that people do for them and it does grate on my nerves when people don't act politely. I always give up my seat on the bus for older people but don't often get thanked for it. The other day I'd given up my seat and was standing and the bus braked. The woman behind me didn't bother to hold on properly and so knocked straight into me, causing me to lose my grip and be knocked over by her. I didn't even get a word of apology.

    You don't ever have to thank me and I hate to hear apologies. You probably didn't do anything that bad; I already forgave you / it didn't matter to me that it happened, and most importantly I'll probably screw up down the road anyway so it all evens out.

    I consider it just my personal social contract and a lot of people catch on fast enough when I only acknowledges thank yous with a 'yeah'

    In public, I'm polite to a fault.

    Those are excellent manners!

    I have excellent manners, I always hold open doors and give up my seat. I do all sorts of things, and I've received crap all appreciation for it. I don't do it for thank yous, but it would be nice. I agree though, old people are the worst at not being polite. They think we're rude bastards? I say they're hypocrites. Oh, and they're old too.

    They see me rolling. They hating, patrolling.

    I'm politer than the average bear.
    You hold my heart in your manly hands I wanna feel the throb of your handsome gland. I wanna hold you tight like a newborn kitten, against my flesh like a cashmere mitten. Tickly tick, I'm makin' skin bump heaven and all the way down it's lookin' cleanly shaven. Prickety pricks, it's stubble on stubble I better slow down or I'm in real trouble. Want you, touch you, feel you, taste you! Knick knack whacky whack 'till I see the man stew. spin you around let me see that hole! I'm a tunnelin' in a like a short hair mole. Once I'm inside I'm gonna leave a trace, half in there and half on that face! One finger, two finger, there fingers gone! Mano a mano I love you John!
