I guess I could call this common courtesy and manners. The other night I was relaxing after class enjoying my CSI Miami. I hear this guy talking loud outside so I go and look. The guy is standing at my back door of my apartment yelling back and forth to my neighbor above me. When I open the blinds and look at him, he looks at me and says "What? I'm talking to the people on the balcony". I'm wondering if they really wanted to talk to him, why wasn't he invited into their home instead of being allowed to disturb my show. It just proves to me that the neighbors or their guest have no respect for my privacy.
This is just one of many examples that I see every day, to prove to me that people have forgotten what their parents taught them. I was always raised to say "Yes, ma'am, No ma'am, Yes sir, No sir" to show proper respect. Even to this day, I'm 41 years old and if I said "Yea" to my mother I would have to pick up my teeth off the floor. Another example, when I date I've had females get mad at me for opening the car door for them. I've heard them say things like "I'm not handicap" or "I know how to open my own door". They don't realize that this is a sign from a true gentleman showing them proper respect. My final example, is when women try to be as rude and crude as us, men. I dated a woman that thought that just because she felt comfortable around me, it was ok to belch and have flatulence around me. I know that most men think that is cute because it is something that we do. The only thing is that we do it around other men, not women. I don't want any female to feel that comfortable around me. I have more respect for myself and for the lady I date to go to another room to express those bodily functions. Anyway, as I've said before, it make me worry about the future of our country when we don't have manners and don't even pretend that it matters to us.
