One thing I really miss about my life before the 1970s when the so-called Youth Rebellion and Sexual Revolution took over, is the widespread use of manners and etiquette. Today's young people probably think it's laughable; but there used to be many books available about proper and polite behavior, that saved many a social relationship.
In this case, one should cover one's mouth momentarily with a handkerchief to dispose of the stray ort.
Yes, we sure were a more polite society. I remember entering my library profession in the 1970’s and seeing older books on etiquette, manners, etc.
They say things come full circle. Observing our culture today makes me think we may be at the end of the filth era and ready for civility.
Thanks for sharing.
