Have manners completely disappeared?

<p>I was brought up to respect elders and particularly women and many simple things i cannot do because of this ie look through my wifes handbag for her keys. Things have changed and if you try to walk on the outside of a female person going down the street many appreciate it, i mean really appreciate it but others think you are stupid and still others take it as an insult. So good manners are important but so is the response to them as well.</p><p>I can tell a story about last time i was in Hong Kong. I was entering the Marco Polo hotel from a side entrance and a young Chinese lady and i got to this door at about the same time. I tried to open the door for her and she forcibly took control of the door from me ( I let her, i was about twice her size). Well anyway another young lady was approaching and i did hold the door open fer her, she gave me a dirty looked warily sidled around me and the door to get herself inside. No sooner was she in, than another pushed through and then another and i would guess about 10 minutes and many girls later, i gave up and left the door and entered through another door.</p><p>Rgds Ian </p>
