Why good manners is a deal breaker
It’s a constant source of frustration for me, that people are bad mannered. I really don’t care what walk of life you came from, or what your sense of entitlement is, good manners are the basics in life and it is just a sign of respect for the people that are around you.
While I don’t expect all people to be at the level of a “Swiss Finishing School”, good manners is a sign that people are considerate of the those around, respect that they are in company and whether they like the person or not, know that good manners is more about them then the people who they surround themsleves with.
My basics: I would be mortified if my brother’s didn’t open the door for their wives or friends, or didn’t walk a lady to a taxi. It is these simple things that are confusing men and women today as to what is right and what is wrong.
How can you tell if you should or shouldn’t open the door? The right answer is you should. Full stop. No question. If the person is rude enough to ask you not to, then step away, and politely apologize, to ensure that you don’t cause a drama.
