The level of disrespect I keep seeing employed against others is just amazing, and not in a good way. Just last week, while visiting with Mom, we were at the store and a man started banging his hands on the conveyor belt because she wasn't moving fast enough for him. I wanted to confront him... but I didn't... because I had to maintain my own sense of decorum since I was with Mom.<\/p>\n<p>So, in the spirit and memory of last Tuesday, I share 9 quick lessons of decorum; add your own as you see fit:<\/p>\n<p><strong>1.<\/strong>  Put yourself in someone else's shoes before you say something stupid.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2.<\/strong>  Think about how you look when you decide to act or say something stupid in public.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3.<\/strong>  If you won't say it in front of your parents or kids what makes you think we want to hear your filthy mouth in public places?<\/p>\n<p><strong>4.<\/strong>  Don't think you're better than someone else because of your money, how you're dressed... actually, just don't think you're better than others.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5.<\/strong>  Why are you yelling? Unless you cut off your toes, please stop.<\/p>\n<p><strong>6.<\/strong>  Drunk in public; that's a good time?<\/p>\n<p><strong>7.<\/strong>  Children repeat what they see & hear, not what you tell them. If you want to set a good example, be a good example.<\/p>\n<p><strong>8.<\/strong>  Please... thank you... try it, you'll like it and others will too.<\/p>\n<p><strong>9.<\/strong>  If you bump into someone and say \"why don't you watch where you're going\", why weren't you watching where you were going?<\/p>\n<p>There you are, short and sweet.  Hopefully this is only the start of a conversation; what would you like to add to this?<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today&#8217;s post is going to be relatively short.
