Default The Rules of Etiquette

I want to discuss the perhaps considered 'old fashioned' rules of etiquette. Are there any particular rules you like to follow? Do you think etiquette is still relevant in modern society? Is it considered to PC now to behave an expected way, even if it makes someone else happy? To a varying degree there has to be some rules, for example not making a scene in front of your friend in a shop. I may have done that recently and regretted it.

My second thought is the following. I think this comes under the same topic. I was fantasizing today how I would love to be able to experience having a man open a door for me, pull my seat out at a restaurant and offer a space on the bus. I think it's such a cool courtesy that I believe men would benefit from too. Because, if a man was to do something like that for me, I would thank him, ask him about his day and perhaps consider him worth meeting again.

A great website for you to learn more about the rules of etiquette is:
