rude people make me disgusted... do they?

Question

these also include those without table manners.

Answer 1

Yes! They disgust me too, I hate it when people can't say please or thank you...especially thank you after someone holds a door open for them...or they push past a disabled person and almost knock them over....or people that burp openly at a nice dinner and do not say excuse me...this just continues to remind me to continually teach the children I babysit good manners and when I have children they will be taught good manners also...

Answer 2

Table manners vary from country to country. Good /polite manners are a sign of respect for one self as well as those around them, Even MacDonald's' provide serviettes ( napkins) What is and isn't permissible table talk is also manners where ever you are. simple consideration. Would your grandmother appreciate your behaviour? Do you kiss your mother with that mouth?

Answer 3

Hello Marim,
I agree with you totally. It is really sad that the world has gotten to a point where so few people bother with basic good manners anymore. It makes it so that those who do demonstrate good manner really stand out. I had a young man walk in front of me the other day and he actually said "Excuse me". I almost fainted!
People are rude in the way they drive and in almost every aspect of their interaction with others. Human beings just seem to no longer be interested in extending common courtesies to each other anymore. I for one refuse to lower my standards just because of the poor behavior of the masses. I will continue to display good manners to others whether they reciprocate or not.
As far as table manners, I am afraid that I have to lay the blame of that on the shoulders of the adults who are attempting to raise children these days. Mothers and fathers were typically responsible for teaching good table manners to their children and they in fact, have no idea themselves on how to go about it. It goes back to the fact that no one taught them how to do it. Perhaps basic table manners should be taught in schools so that young people, if they ever find themselves in a situation where good table manner are called for they would at least have a basic understanding of what is involved.
I was raised to not touch my food until everyone at the table was served. I never touch food or drink until a napkin in on my lap......I am virtually inundated with archaic manners that no one else seems to remember anymore. I was raised in a world where the gentlemen at the table stood up when a lady rose to leave the table, and they again rose when she returned. I am used to having a gentlemen hold my chair for me, help me with my coat.....all these things that just do not happen anymore.
People's table manners literally make me ill. When dining in casual restaurants all I can do is carefully keep my eyes on my own plate and not look at anyone else. Children are especially offensive but I have to admit that I see grown men wearing baseball hats while sitting at the table eating. Wearing a hat indoors is bad enough but wearing one while one is sitting at the table eating is sickening. What kind of an example does this set for children? How can we hope to instill any kind of basic manners in our young people when the adults that they emulate behave in this manner?
To many it may seem like a small thing but I think that it has ramifications. When we treat each other with courtesy it flows over into other aspects of our lives. It leads to the extension of kindness to one another that just does not exist anymore.
I am not an elderly person I was just raised in an atmosphere that unfortunately does not exist anymore.
There is no reason that good manner should exist only among the wealthy, it is something that is easily available to those in all economic stratum. It does not take wealth to teach children good manners. I raised my children with a basic understanding of good manners, knowing that there would undoubtedly come a time in their lives when it would be required. Having done so did not require the economic priviledge that I was accustomed to. Parents owe it to their children to teach them the basic necessities of good manners. The whole world does not consist of McDonalds, plastic cutlery and fast food. To send a child out into the world with no education in gracious behavior is to sadly shirk ones parental responsibilities.
In a nutshell, I agree with you wholeheartedly!

LOL I don't know if they disgust me as much as they "shock" me. It seems like I have always had manners, so I thought you were born with the ability to be aware of other feelings, personal space, mindful of your MOUTH, etc.
