    Yes, we🇸🇬 need campaigns to remind us how to behave
    "Campaigns . aren't abt stating te obvious, but abt reinforcing social norms. A simple, repeated message can act as a gentle nudge.. True graciousness must be supported by #social #culture. When commuters model considerate behaviour, it encourages others.. shapes a self-sustaining #norm where #courtesy becomes natural iso instructed. In tis sense, campaigns remind the mind, while culture shapes the heart"

  5. 先ずは己から示せ! Покажіть це спочатку самі!
    礼儀や敬意を求める以前に己自身が示し、模範と成るべき。
    Якщо ви хочете, щоб люди віталися з вами і поводилися чемно, ви повинні це показати.

    У цьому світі є багато людей, які зневажливо дивляться на інших і поводяться зарозуміло.

  7. A quotation from Kerry Greenwood

       “Conversation is a minefield until you learn the conventions, Jane dear.”
       “I’ll never learn all the rules,” muttered Jane.
       “Yes, you will,” said Phryne. “Then you can bend them.”

    Kerry Greenwood (b. 1954) Australian author and lawyer
    Phryne Fisher No. 13, The Castlemaine Murders, ch. 4 (2003)

  11. Someone was getting mean here to someone else, so I tried to appeal to the better angels of their nature.

    It seems she blocked me. Oh well! At least I tried.

  12. Open request to the users of Mastodon: if you use an acronym, please spell it out the first time you use it in each post. You know what the acronym means, but Mastodon is huge and there are people all over the world who may be reading your post. Telling us that some alphabet soup did something means nothing if it just comes out as alphabet soup!

    It's standard practice in journalism and writing to fully write out the words of an acronym the first time it's used. Please think of your readers.

    Thanks!

  13. A quotation from Judith Martin

       DEAR MISS MANNERS: When does a gentleman offer his arm to a lady as they are walking down the street together?
     
       GENTLE READER: Strictly speaking, only when he can be practical assistance to her. That is, when the way is steep, dark, crowded, or puddle-y. However, it is rather a cozy juxtaposition, less compromising than walking hand in hand, and rather enjoyable for people who are fond of each other, so Miss Manners allows some leeway in interpreting what is of practical assistance. One wouldn’t want a lady to feel unloved walking down the street, any more than one would want her to fall off the curb.

    Judith Martin (b. 1938) American author, journalist, etiquette expert [a.k.a. Miss Manners]
    “Miss Manners,” syndicated column (1979-04-19)

  19. A quotation from Judith Martin

    When someone has tried to please you, it is rude, as well as disheartening, to respond by announcing that the effort was a failure.

  25. A quotation from Martin, Judith:

    «
    The pejorative term “political correctness” was adapted to express disapproval of the enlargement of etiquette to cover all people, in spite of this being a principle to which all Americans claim to subscribe.

  27. Are drivers in #Singapore inconsiderate? Yes say observers
    "biggest pet peeves incl #drivers recklessly cutting lanes & queues, inattentive cruis'g, & a lack of basic #courtesy – not giving way, not conveying gratitude when others give way, & not apologising for inconsiderate actions.. Observers said the #baddriving habits stem fr a culture of “always rushing” tt many Singaporeans follow.. always rushing, always competing… mindset & behavioural culture need to be changed"

  30. A quotation from Holmes, Oliver Wendell, Sr.:

    «««««
    Don’t flatter yourselves that friendship authorizes you to say disagreeable things to your intimates. On the contrary, the nearer you come into relation with a person, the more necessary do tact and courtesy become.

  31. A quotation from Russell, Bertrand:

    «««««
    But although tact is a virtue, it is very closely allied to certain vices; the line between tact and hypocrisy is a very narrow one. I think the distinction comes in the motive: when it is kindliness that makes us wish to please, our tact is the right sort; when it is fear of offending, or desire to obtain some advantage by flattery...

  32. I'm not a "Mask Holdout!" Geez-Louise! I'm a Thoughtful Human being.

    The inconvenience of wearing a #KN95 is minimal for not having to deal with #COVID19 symptoms, which while not often deadly anymore, or can be far worse than flu or cold symptoms.

    Best part: I haven't had the flu or a cold since 2019. I will always wear a mask in cold season, just like the east Asians have been doing for decades: courtesy and self-protection.

    If you have a problem with masks, don't force your issues upon me!
