Do you take into consideration how people feel before doing something?

Sometimes when we like to do something, we must try to consider other people around us. We should learn to be considerate where others are concerned. I often encounter people in public places who don't care how others might feel when they smoke and blow the smoke towards a person. I hate cigarette and every time I smell it I have a handkerchief ready to cover my nose. There are lots of manners which should be avoided in public. Making a lot of noise too is one thing that is very annoying. Cellphones that are tuned to maximum is noise too. Being considerate in public places must be always practiced. Remember always that you're not alone in this world.

well, i consider myself pretty considerate of others. i dont like hurting, disrespecting, or annoying people as much i hate the feeling of being hurt, disrespected, or annoyed.

I always take the Golden Rule as my guiding principle in the process. :)

totally agree. I think smokers cannot possibly be considerate. I have never smoked but if I wanted to, knowing the distance the smell goes I would have to ask everyone in smelling distance if they minded me smoking before I tried. I have never seen anyone else do that. I also think lorry drivers are the least considerate drivers on the road. I am amazed how selfish they are. Pulling out to overtake and holding up dozens of other drivers whilst they crawl past the lorry they are overtaking at 0.001 mph faster.
