Comments on: Some Of Many Situations To Practice Courtesy http://www.insight-foresight.com/2008/08/practice-courtesy/ Those with insight should have the foresight to act or react with wisdom Tue, 20 Sep 2011 21:07:48 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 By: gracefulpillar http://www.insight-foresight.com/2008/08/practice-courtesy/comment-page-1/#comment-98 gracefulpillar Mon, 04 May 2009 17:39:34 +0000 http://blog.ninthball.com/?p=41#comment-98 ...another example of when to show courtesy is in the church! I find it amazing when someone develops an attitude when people are being ushered to the row they are sitting. These people enter the church and decide to sit at the isle seat of a row of 8 chairs and develop an attitude of inconvenience when the remaining 7 seats are being filled. The courteous attitude should be to move over to the extreme seat to allow others to be seated without them trying not to fall or step on on you and apologising while trying to reach their seat!! …another example of when to show courtesy is in the church!

It's very annoying to unexpectedly walk smack into someone when you're trying to get off the elevator; or have to fight your way out because everyone else is rushing to get on.... not sure if it qualifies to be on this list, but it’s been happening more frequently lately…figured i’d throw it in there:

It all comes down to using wisdom in applying these principles.. I have to admit that I am quite terrible at introductions and have been called out on several occasions by friends. A pet peeve of mine is when something of mine is taken without permission, especially when it happens repeatedly (like with my sis). Its due to a lack of consideration most of the times.

Maybe because i usually do not want people to feel obliged to offer me a portion of their food... The holding the door example is probably the most common. People should be mindful though of WHEN it is appropriate to hold the door open. It's really annoying to have someone hold the door open when you're miles away, making you hurry your steps unnecessarily to keep them from waiting.
