Manners are important! People annoy me to no end when they are so inconsiderate.
I thank my lucky stars every night that I went to college where manners were cherished. We still wore white gloves twice a year and have guidelines for appropriate dress. It also wasn't that long ago that Saturday night dinner was formal. I only wish they hadn't changed that...
Yes, I am a weirdo and people joke that my college is a "finishing school."
