“Are you kidding? That never happened.”

I suppose you meant that as an idiomatic intensifier to make a point, but if not, let me ask; are you kidding? Happened all the time.

It was considered the polite thing to do, back when people were civil and social and not its-all-about-me-me-me.

The rest of your post has no relevance to the point I was making.

When people were ready to light up, they'd offer a cig to others but didn't ask for permission to smoke.

I wasn't addressing your irrelevant point.
