Yes... the air is humid, but I have grown accustomed to it (as have most of us).

Being so hateful can't possibly be good for you...

Of course, the accents aren't severe to you because you've been around it all of your life so you get used to it and adopt it. If you take someone from the north and send them to the south for the weekend it will be very severe because they aren't used to hearing the English language violated in that manner.

I don't like anyone to read a newspaper before myself if I have bought it. I consider it bad manners on their part.

I always open doors for both men and women alike and become extremely annoyed if they don't say thank you. Especially women as I have always equated this with being a gentleman and I have been told that chivalry is a dying art. No fricking wonder really.

the second and third is just being polite and having manners. I wouldn't really call it a quirk either.

Part of chivalry being a dying art is on the other side of the coin. They don't have manners to appreciate when someone is being chivalrous and part of that is maybe because they don't see it often.
