So I'm following this lovely older couple into the grocery store. I actually slowed my pace so as not to pass them and seem obnoxious/rude.
We arrive at the door way and the woman walks in and the gentleman (truly) steps aside and graciously has me go ahead of him. "Ladies first".
I was so stunned, yet appreciative.
This kind of behavior only seems natural to "older" gentlemen. Do young men learn this polite manner these days? I don't think so.
Sad.
Sad that it took me by surprise.
