My wife commented earlier that very often whenever I visit her while she is cutting hair that after I leave the customers say your husband is very courteous. My first name is Curtis which is suppose to mean courteous but I always think that's an odd thing for them to say becuase I don't notice myself being more polite than I am typically. I guess it's just some of the stuff my parents drilled into me when i was a kid.
So let's discuss the basics as you see them. Add to the list or discuss a rule.
_________________________________________________________________
Always answer a direct question from an elder with a Sir or Ma'am.
Ladies / kids always exit the elevator before guys. Rule varies for couples.
When entering a building, if a person is exiting at the same time, step back and allow them to exit before entering.
Always say Thank You.
Look into the persons eyes that you are addressing
.
Stand at least arms length away from someone when talking to them.
Always open the door for a lady.
Always use a firm grip when shaking hands but don't try to crush.

My wife's doctor is a close talker and I think he screws with me becuase he can tell I hate that. Whenever we run into him he starts talking at the proper distance and slowly keeps moving closer. During which I slowly keep move back from him so I'm not looking up his nose. We've moved in whole circles during converstations. Drives me nuts.
