Those are the exact values with which I was raised.
So many things irritate me about men today.
If I had sat down at the table with a hat on, my mother would have slapped me silly.
If I had asked for the salt and didn't say "please" and "thank you" I would have gotten a tongue lashing.
If I had preceded a woman into a door without holding it open for her first, I would have gotten a thirty minute lecture on manners, and that's what it's all about - manners!
At the same time, if I had ever told my dad that his cigarette smoke from his roll ur owns was bothering me, he'd have told me to go sit outside and shutup.
It's a live and let live world, and it all comes back to manners.
Were we reared by the same parents? Sounds like it.
Put your feet on the sofa or furniture, BAM!
"So many things irritate me about men today",..So many things about almost everybody irritates the heck out of me today. I'm afraid I'm going to get in a fight for telling someone to shut up on their cell phone. Besides the ones driving 20 mph in the fast lane on the highway while on the phone. Do people ever use their rear view mirrors?
Good manners never hurt anyone.
