A Conversation for Modern Etiquette
On The Buses..
Gwennie Posted Apr 13, 2003
Having my long hair grabbed by the person behind me on the bus was one of my pet hates when I was at school! 
A few years ago, when my daughter started secondary school and had to travel by bus, I informed her that she should always give up her seat to the elderly, pregnant women and those with young children. She obediently did this only to regularly remain un-thanked/ignored by those who took her place. 
My daughter has asked me why people are so rude and ignorant and why she should bother to be polite... 
I've told her that she should continue to be polite and not sink to the same level as those who are rude and ignorant but somehow I don't feel this argument is strong enough...
As for the insensitive morons who are rude enough to smoke on my daughter's bus, when it is clearly banned...
