I’d have shut the door on her with an extra hard shove
Or jammed it shut with my foot as she tried to open it

Haha! Rhian, I just rolled my eyes at her and stood there, watching her as I let the door slowly close, then walked off. I think there was something amiss with her…she didn’t break eye contact with me 
Just had a thought though about making that funny face kids do, when they shove their face up at the window and it looks squashed up. I could have done that while jamming the door…then run away!

Have you ever forgot to say thank you to someone who holds the door open for you?
I have…i then have heard.
Thank you.
Ignorant b…h…
I’m always saying thank you - especially when its kids who make the effort hold the door open. However, when someone shoves by me, I have been known to say something sarcastic like "I think excuse me are the words you are looking for! I wouldn’t swear at anyone though. if they have no manners, then they are all the poorer for it!

I hope not because ‘having good manners’ is all about putting other people before yourself and having consideration for others and if we lose that we lose a civilised society.

But too much would lead to the collapse of capitalism.
In our everyday interractions with others I agree, but what about in other instances?
Sadly it does all too frequently seem that as a nation we put the least-deserving and frequently the inconsiderate too before ourselves for example.
If (as in some ways) we try to change this we are pilloried and if we don’t we are ridiculed and “taken for a ride” it would appear.
Do such things still count as “manners”?
well all I can remember is as a kid ‘good manners’ were drilled into us each day - drip drip drip training and there were very few failures at the end of each week - what was that saying “manners maketh the man”?
