Manners

Do you have good manners? I hope so. I really hate people with bad manners!

For example, right now I am so angry about the lazy people who park on the road near my office. Not just on one side, but on BOTH sides so it is almost impossible to drive down that road. Why do they do it? Because they are too lazy to use the carpark of the liquor shop they want to go to. Hey, just drive 5 meters around the corner, won't you!!!!! Not only is it bad manners, it is outright dangerous - I've seen so many near-accidents that I have lost count how many. I wish the police would come and give all the bad mannered parkers traffic tickets ....

Another thing I HATE is when I see sportsmen spitting. (I rarely see women athletes spit - maybe just marathon runners sometimes.) I think it is really disgusting so I was happy to see an article about this subject on the BBC website today. It seems some people are campaigning to make footballers stop spitting. Yay! --> http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/manchester/4594052.stm

Sadly there was another article about manners in the BBC today, too. -->

Are our manners so bad these days? According to the article modern Brits have bad manners but Americans are better behaved. True??? I wonder about Australians? The article says that Japanese people have very good manners. Hah hah! Not any more!

Is complaining bad mannered? Maybe I am bad too ....
