Manners

I'm probably weird but I think manners are important and I'm youngish (30)

I actually find most young people, like older children and teenagers even, are really polite, like if we move out of the way when we are walking the dog they will thank us

One thing I find really rude is when I give way to another driver when I'm driving and they don't signal to say thank you. How hard is it?? A few days ago I actually reversed to make life easier for an older lady (when it was actually my priority!!) and she just drove past??? My Dad called it ignorance but I think that's giving her a liberty as ignorant would suggest she was unaware … I think she was well aware and decided to be an incredibly rude misery guts

@Sandy_123 yeah I agree. I don't get annoyed at stuff on the road to be honest, I just find it funny really but it would be nice if they said thank you. If only you could reverse time by 20 seconds and then not give way to them and make them reverse instead 😂

Yes you're right that most people do say thanks

I guess the ones who don't just stand out and we remember them more

@OverlyAnxious

Have you seen the YouTube video where a lorry driver is made to reverse about 500 yards on a single track road by an old lady in a Yaris or something

In fairness the lady technically does have priority, but she'd have had to reverse about 15 yards to save the lorry going back 500 completely blindly

In the end, after offering to reverse her car for her in case she doesn't know how, I think he gets the old lady act as banksman to guide him back 😂

Yesterday there was a couple in Tesco wearing just their underwear, each with dressing gowns over the top, both of which were not tied together at the front

They weren't doing anything actively to affect other people in the shop, so I don't really know why I'm moaning about it here 😆

It's just, my Granddad would put a suit and hat on if he went out shopping with my Granny… if it was Sunday he would maybe leave the hat at home and go without a tie

I'm not saying it was better then but how times have changed!!

Most people here say thank you when getting off the bus, and wait for people to get off before pushing on. But there are always a couple who don't. Or who bark their destination at the driver like he/she is a machine and not a person.

I usually let other people get on or off the bus before me even if I've been waiting longer, especially if they are older or have mobility issues. But again, there's always that one person who thinks they should just barge to the front and push on first…

Finally, there are the people who play their music or videos out loud on the bus so everyone has to listen. For some reason the people who do this always have the worst taste in music. :/

It's not always younger people doing these things either. The bus barging is normally older people, and the other day I had a middle aged guy sitting behind me playing some comedy video at full volume :/

@JessieJ I don't like to stereotype based on stuff like age and I might be biased in my head (like reverse confirmation bias or something) but I think I've found the same, I have found lots of young people are really polite in public

@Amaya_Ringo I don't use public transport but when it comes to a building like a shop I was always of the mindset that you let people in before you come out. This is because if the weather is bad outside (too cold, raining or too hot) the people coming in should be allowed to get out of the weather, whereas if the person coming out is delayed by 10 seconds they aren't going to get wet or anything

I appreciate this maybe isn't the case on public transport because I guess the vehicle would run out of space 😆
