[QUOTE="alank2, post: 1480069, member: 108"] Hi, It depends on the person. It seems like when I first moved to Oklahoma around 13 years ago, it was a nicer place where more people would be polite and hold doors for others, etc. It could be that I was coming from Illinois where no one was ever polite, ever. I have noticed a decline in politeness here in the last years. However, it depends on the person. One day I held the door for an older woman at the post office and ushered her to go first and she was absolutely surprised. She even commented that it was rare for people to be polite these days. Today, at Taco Bueno, I was utterly surprised when an older woman held the door for me! No offense to older folks, but so many of them have an attitude that the world needs to bend for them and serve them. I gave her a "thank you; I appreciate it" and she deserved more praise for being polite. Thanks, Alan [/QUOTE]
