Emily Post pretty much set the bar for manners, and last week when I quoted one of her echoes of traditional etiquette [1], most of you agreed with her and like it when a man walks on the curbside.
Below is one example of what Emily calls "Today's Rudest Behaviors" in her book Etiquette [2]. Now I must admit to being guilty of this from time to time, but I agree with Emily, it's not the most charming way to behave in public.
"Using four-letter words and other obscenities in public without any reservations — especially in the presence of children."
Do you watch your mouth amongst strangers or do you have a potty mouth like me?
