I let people such as women (without the company of a man), elderly, and children go ahead of me in line. When I do this most look at me as if I just pissed myself. They don't understand why I would do anything like that.
I just understand that a society runs smoother if it is based on manners.
A lot of people don't realize that sadly, and worse of all, some people get their kicks being rude, or they're just mad at the world and they're just lashing out. Also, some people jump to conclusions that when you try to be nice, that you've got some kind of underlying motive. And some people when they're being nice, they do. But the thing is that many people will quickly jump to the conclusion that someone's kindness is attached to an underlying motive even when with that person they're kindness is genuine.
Is politeness and courtesy almost dead?

I asked an old guy in a walker if he needed a hand going up a few steps, he looked at me like I was going to mug him.
