That was a toughy for me too.
Sometimes I regift, sometimes I run to the dollar store, (if I know them then we'll go to an actual store ), sometimes I'll stuff money. Just depends on the situation, time and level of aquintance or how well I want to be aquinted.

 

Hey; your fly is down.
Hey Everyone!! Craz3d's Fly is Down. Look!

 

I hear that!

4 out of 10.

I used to be pretty passive. In recent years I've managed to be a bit more "assertive". Some might think I'm being rude. I wouldn't have to be that way if people didn't have to be idiots.

That person next to you in the dr.'s office that has diarea of the mouth..... you know damn well that if you say politely that you aren't interested in talking that this is going to turn out to be some crazy wack job who is going to make one hell of a scene. I'm going to ignore them like they aren't even there.

That pregnant woman getting on the bus.. you know that if you politely get up and offer your seat she's going to say "shoot, what took yo azz so long to get out my seat!?". You may not realize at the moment but this is probably her sixth or seventh kid and she's been living off welfare all her life. She is poised to perpetuate the dependantcy. Let some other sucker give up their seat.

I'll be more polite when more people figure out how to get their heads out of their......

 

^^^^^^
Amen brotha

 

I got 8 of 10.

Don't ask me how.

I'm not known for being polite.

 

Hell I can't even find the kind of answers on that quiz I need.

Someone is cursing at your sons soccer game what do you do.... Buy the guy a beer and cuss with him.

 

The questions were kind of lame.
Offering a pregnant lady your seat on a crowded bus?

What is the world coming to?
I cannot sit in any situation 'bus, shuttle, waiting room etc...' if a lady is standing, much less pregnant and standing.

There have been times a female has declined the seat, for whatever reason I don't know, maybe womens lib or something.

If that happens we both stand and the seat stays empty.

The only thing I'm concerned with is the chance my 73 year old father would walk into the situation, see me sitting and a lady standing
and beat the Hell out of me.

I also have to open doors. (It surprises me the people who dont know how to re-act to this, both men and/or sometimes women.) I wont hold the door for a man, but if he's with a lady then I'll hold the door for her. But courtesouy says, he should then hold the door for me after all the ladies are thru, then him follow me in. 1 out of 15 times maybe, the guys knows how to be an actual gentleman, much less a distinquished gentlemen. Ussually they just nod and say thank you as they walk thru with the ladies.
I'm not holding the door for you, it was for your lady. Can anything say "Hey, I'm a pansie" any more than walking thru a door with the woman? Maybe wearing it on your shirt!!!!
Incase your wondering, with a group: First guy to the door opens it for everybody, ladies go in a as group, then the gentlemen, reassemble with partner once inside, then last guy holds it for the first guy.

I can't sit at a table until all the woman have seated either.

 

I am with Raoul and PSS-Mag…

I got a 6 out of 10 but would have been nice to have some more common answers. This one below is an example:

Question:
”You're in a mostly full mall parking garage and need to return something quickly. You:”

My answer:
”Take a handicapped space, but only after scouring the entire garage for a regular space.”

But it kind of depends. Most places anymore, at least around here, with handicapped parking have extremely more then needed. You could have a parking lot with say 50 spaces and 15 are handicapped. If I need to go in quickly I will use the one farthest from the store. That would be 30% and I am sorry but 30% of America is not “really” handicapped.

You know what absolutely cracks me up is shopping at Market Basket, a grocery store. You see people who must weigh at least 300lbs and 5’ tall, so we are talking one HUGE load. They have handicapped parking AND use those electric shopping carts.

If I were a doctor I would give them a special parking decal which forced them to park in the last space, way out in no man land, from the store and NO electric cart for shopping. I would do that because I care and want to see them get better. It won’t hurt them to walk off a few pounds so they can go in and load up with 25lbs of Twinkies and Cup Cakes…

Mainly because I know it is extremely easy for just about anyone to get a handicapped parking sticker I don’t feel bad at all the rare times I am FORCED to take one. Now if there is only a few I never take one, but at Market Basket and Wal-Mart who it appears sets aside 25% of their up front parking for handicapped I don’t give a crap what anyone thinks and I am quick as hell to not get a ticket either…

The threat of a good beating from dad would keep a mojority of us polite. Previous generations seem to have learned the civility thing pretty well. Times they are a changing. There are different lessons to be learned and less time is spent on civility.

This quiz is pretty vague. With a 4, it's saying that I am pretty much an a-hole all the time. That's just not true. In fact I think I'm very polite. I say please and thank you. I will hold the door for anyone who happends to be coming in behind me. I treat people with respect, when the show me they deserve some. I generally treat people the way that I want to be treated.

It's give and take out there. I'm not going to do all the giving. That's just not fair. There are people out there who will walk all over you if given the chance. I assess the situation and react accordingly. I think that being a bit less that polite is warranted in situations that require you to let someone know that you aren't going to be taken advantage of.

Thank you for reading my post.
