Feet on the Kitchen Table

much2say @much2say (57760) • Los Angeles, California 19 Aug 24

I don't recall my parents ever teaching me this, but I know not to put my feet on the kitchen table. Besides it being bad manners, it's just gross. One year, we went to Thanksgiving at my sister in law's house. After the table...

I was thinking about this on my hour long drive home today from my Oncologist's office. Have you noticed that sometimes we treat strangers with better manners than we do our mates? I know most of us like to get comfy when we're...

So we went to look for stone for the countertop on Thursday and while we were waiting to see the guy (he was with other people when we came) another couple walked in to the yard. The guy told us to go into the office and told the...

What would you do?

Jenaisle @Jenaisle (16568) • Philippines 30 Apr 23

So, this man was seated on a bus while a full-term pregnant woman stands before him. You are also standing and you pity the woman because the man doesn't seem to consider giving her his seat. You're a woman too and you know how it...

Saying 'Thank you'

Fleur @Fleura (34996) • United Kingdom 2 Feb 22

A post by @Janet357 brought this to mind. Once, several years ago, I had a friend visit. We were going to go for a day out, but as we set out, after we'd only gone a couple of miles the brake pads broke and fell off his car!...
