eh, manners relate to your upbringing, but I kind of agree...however I wouldn't like to be thought of as a slob by any means...

Yeah but if you cross your legs on the wrong side or drink out of a can you aren't necessarily a slob. Just seems like, as centaur said, there are definitely more important things to be worried about.

That's true. I certainly don't think manners, graciousness, etc... are the most important things in the world. Actually, in regards to fraternity/sorority, I feel that manners should take a back-seat to philanthropy and social welfare...I just feel like manners help promote ideals of certain fraternities/sororities that they wish to convey...

I cross my legs all the time when I sit. How is this going to cause a medical issue?

I believe the pressure points cause varicose veins. Because of this, it is thought to be better to cross your ankles rather than at the knees. However this will just cause varicose veins in a different place.

Well yeah, common decency manners. Like it's really not very kind to burp in some stranger's face, yell obscenities down Main Street, throw up on someone at the bar...etc., all of which I've seen done before. Saying please and thank you (and in the south yes m'am and no ma'am...if you don't people WILL think you're rude), or making polite conversation, sending thank you notes, being respectful in general, that sort of thing...anyone should do all of that. I think there's manners that any decent and polite member of the population should have...and then there's ridiculous manners.

Psh. The only way I drink tea is ice cold in a glass...there's no need to hold out that pinky.

As for skirts...why not just close the legs instead of crossing them? Or, if you're like me...avoid them anyway since you'll constantly forget anyway.

You don't drink tea out of a glass so small it can only fit a bee or something of similar size, with your pinky stuck out for no apparent reason? Man, you're missing out...

I guess it will just have to be unhealthy, because I have a habit of crossing my legs.
