I'm polite because it is what I expect from others. How can I expect it, if I don't practice it? (again, we are talking about real life here, not shit on the boards.)
Believe it or not. I'm A all the way. I too am uber polite. I will hold the door for people, always say god bless you, and I don't even ask if I can smoke during the meal, I wait till everyone's finished. Hell, I won't even smoke at a resteraunt if there's little kids around most of the time. I too hate most people, but the reason I do these little things is because I'd love to get the same treatment in return. These are all easy things to do, and they really require such little effort.
Kid, do get mad when people aren't polite back? In my building, I usually hold the door for people, until I noticed no one was saying thank you anymore, so I remembered those people and have started pulling the door shut behind me when I see them approaching.
So you feel an obligation towards others?
I just wanna see the difference between "courtesy" and "acting courtieous"
1 B. Move to the right to allow him/her to pass.
2 A. Hold the door and allow them to exit before you enter (But it depends on who or what it is)
3 B. Light up. (I'm in the smoking section for a reason)
4 A. Punch it and give it everything your car has got?
5 B. Mind your business.
i just be nice cause i want people to be nice right back. even if it doesn't happen most of the time, atleast i know i was the better person.

Not really. I'm not looking for a thank you, but it's nice to get one.

:-o I'm angrier in real life than Kid.

And blacker too.
Quote:Common courtesy, Do you have it? do you exercise it?
My common courtesy can beat up your common courtesy.
Are the people in question black or white?
Quote:And blacker too.
:rofl: obvious, but still funny.
...and he takes it as a compliment.
:rofl:
How do I do that?
I always thought it was funny when people questioned how black I am. To answer:
I'm black enough to be discriminated against, but white enough to get a corporate job.
If my blackness is not sufficient for someone, that's their problem.
Afrika is like a piece of undercooked chick, not raw but not quite done either.
I'm polite because I feel guilty if I'm not. I could give a shit about the people I am polite too.

There we go, someone finally said what I was trying to get straight in my head.
I'm polite because it's the way I was raised. And since I do it for me, sometimes when I have a bad day & feel the need to dick someone over.... it's still for me.
