. Take you time to greet people and hold the door open for them

. Say Thank you when someone holds the door open for you or rings you up at the cash register

. Say sorry when you get in the way of someone

. Drive the speed limit and don't drive right behind the person in front of you

. Warn others if you see them about to back up in to each other instead of just watching.

. Stop watching things happen and take action and stop them if it is safe to do so. Stay away from crimes you see happening, let the law handle that.

. If you see someone drop money pick it up and hand it back to them, even if you want to keep it.

. How much you give for tips when you go out? Give the waiter $5.00 instead of $2.00

. Try and do everthing with respect to put a smile on people face's who are hurting deep down inside.

. Help set events up or put things away

. When at work, put items back where they belong.

. Treat everone at you work with the same kindness if they mean, nasty, this do it, it might put a smile on their face.



. Feel free to add anything if I missed one.

I'm not clear on the point you are making d24.

My response was to the OP - the things listed are things that I do naturally as part of my every day.

How 'bout UNCOMMON Courtesy ... ?

And what's with " ... Stay away from crimes you see happening, let the law handle that. ... "?

That's not courtesy - that's self-preservation ...

Common courtesy should be an every day thing, rather than just something done during one month.

I was doing just fine on this list, until I saw drive the speed limit.... That's just something I can't do, and I really don't see how it relates to courtesy.

What parking meters do YOU have? The ones here take silver coins only .. :tongue:




As to the OP's suggestion, nice idea and hopefully people do some of those every single day. It's not that hard to be nice. flowerforyou
