    Question bad manners

    what do you consider bad manners as opposed to good ones?

    Belching with your mouth open and farting. I was always taught not to do that. My hubby does it every day several times (already 12 years of this...). It's become a kind of running joke now.
    One has to laugh before being happy, because otherwise one risks to die before having laughed.

    Claiming that you care about people you don't really give a damn about is also extreme bad manners, although there are more accurate names for that particular sort of behaviour.

    Oh, but hre does it with his mouth wide open and his farts must be the vilest ever. Thankfully he never embarrasses me in public.

    I'm sure he does it purely to piss me off in the meantime. It's OK, I've put up with it for about 10 years now (10 years married in September and 2 years before that). I'm sure I can handle it.

    Of course it is!

    Hypocrisy is one hell of an example of extreme bad manners.

    On the other hand, who can dialogue with an idiot without being a hypocrite?

    telling me I have bad manners.
    I sang of leaves, of leaves of gold, and leaves of gold there grew.
