This morning I woke up remembering certain things about manners, I mean as in basic manners in life. Because I still can't accept people who came in / out of your house without greeting the elderlies inside the freaking house. They can just walk in or walk pass by them without saying hi. Where are your manners? and please pay respect to them. You don't do it at home, it doesn't mean other peoples' place you can repeat the same thing all over and over again. What's worst is, I've heard people like this will go straight to somewhere and just hide there or do own stuffs like own house like that. FUCK THAT man. I have googled *Basic Manners* and it shows 10 basic manners for KIDS and i saw this greeting people are under the kids categories. Feel ashamed? I doubt that.

Here are the 10 BASIC MANNERS FOR KIDS
1. Waiting their turn and not interrupting other people when they are speaking. No one can be heard if there are too many voices at once. Gently tell them to wait until someone is done speaking, and then ask their question. Be sure and give your child your full attention when you are done speaking so as to reinforce the positive behavior of waiting his/her turn. While children are patiently waiting, hold their hand or put your arm around them to let them know you are aware of their presence.

2. No name calling. Even if it's in "fun," name calling hurts. Instead of labels, ask children to explain what the behavior is that bothers them.

3. Always greet someone when they come over to your house. Depending on your level of formality, you can teach your child to shake hands with adults who come over, but it's not necessary to shake hands with other children. However, your child should always say, "hello" or "hi" when someone visits so that the guest feels welcome.

4. Say, "Please" and "Thank you" often. It shows respect and appreciation. In addition, if they are thanked, then say, "You're welcome".

5. Clean up after yourself. Whether at home or at a friend's house, always pick up after yourself. It's their mess, so they need to clean it up. If children leave a mess, then remind them that they need to clean up before the next activity can begin, and stick to it.

6. Good sportsmanship. After playing a game (sports, cards, board game), no matter the outcome, be pleasant. If your child wins, tell him/her to not gloat or show off, but to be kind. If they lose, don't sulk or get mad, but be a good sport and tell the other child(ren) "good game" or speak well of them.

7. Take compliments courteously. If someone praises your children, teach them to be gracious and say, "thank you" and avoid putting themselves down or pointing out flaws.

8. Opening doors for others. When going into buildings, allow elders to go first and open the door for them. When preceding others into a building, don't let the door slam in the face of those behind, but hold the door until the person behind can grab it. Also teach your children that if someone holds the door for them, then remember to say "thank you."

9. Exiting/Entering etiquette. Elevators: allow those in the elevator to exit first before entering the elevator. Same with buildings or rooms - if someone is exiting the building or room through the same door you are entering, let them exit first.

10. Respect differences. When people do things differently from your family because of diversity in culture, race, or religion, then teach your child respect. Point out how interesting it is or how different families do different things. Families have their own traditions or rituals, and it is important and has meaning for that family.

Another one is the 10 basic manners than men should . LOL !!

Beside your looking and the way you dress, people often make judgment calls by how you speak and how you act. Below are 10 things that men should know about when going out with women. Feel free to add more information by leaving comments.

Car rides: If you are riding together with a woman (in a taxi or your own car), always open her door for her. If she looks uncomfortable or tells you it’s not neccessary, tell her that you are used to it and that you enjoy doing it. Do not be dramatic or make it a big deal, it will make the woman think that you are trying to impress her.

In the lift: Always let the woman get off the lift first, gently hold the lift doors open and offer her to get off. Never walk out the lift and leave the woman behind.

In the restaurant: When approaching to table, ask the woman which side she prefers to be seated, or offer her the side that provides the better view of the restaurant, then gently pull out the chair for her. Never rest your head on your hand with elbow on the table, it is not polite and you will give the woman a feeling that you’re bored (even if you are not). Ask the woman if she would like a dessert after the meal, if she does, order yourself one as well (no matter how much you hate sweet) so that she won’t be having it alone.

Ordering: In bars/ restaurants, it’s nice to ask the woman what she wants, then make the order for her before saying yours to the waiter. Never make choices for her! And don’t try to convince her to drink more.

Splitting bills: As soon as I moved here to Canada, I noticed that it is very common in North American culture that people like to split bills, but when you ask a woman out for a date, never split the bill. Because YOU are the one who invite her out, you should pay for lunch/dinner, movie, drinks or other entertainment.

Fragrance: It is nice to wear perfume when you go out, but don’t overuse it. Spray once on neck and both wrists will be enough.

Smokers: Always light others’ cigerattes first before lighting yours.

In the mall: If you go shopping with a woman, always offer to carry their bags. But please, please, DO NOT carry their purses, it’s just simply not what a man should do, don’t ask me why, I don’t enjoy seeing men carrying their girlfriends’ purses.

Drinking: Remember to give her a toast and say “cheers” before drinking, look into her eyes until you had the first sip. Drink at the same pase as the woman, do not drink way faster than the woman and order another drink while she’s still having the first drink. Try to finish the drink at the same time then ask her if she wants another one, don’t force her.

I kinda get this from other peoples blog! read up!! haha. have a nice day people
