my mum and dad brought me up to respect my elders ... keep the doors open for those behind me, say please and thank you etc etc .. and I still do that today .. I don't expect a thank you back ... it would be nice ...but I very rarely get one.

Best was a couple of week ago .. I always say thank you when I get off the bus ... always wait for the driver to open the door and then i'll say thanks ... anyway im stood there waiting for him to open the door and driver says not even a thank you from you ... and I said when you open the door you'll get a thank you and not before .. anyway he opened the door and I said now you get your thank you as its the end of the journey ... oh and this driver was younger than me...
