What are some things that you consider to be common courtesy that aren't all that common?
3 examples to start you off.
-
Like on the highway, I stay on the right side of a sidewalk, using the left side only to pass, so I get annoyed when someone decides to use the left side, or worse walk down the middle of the sidewalk.
-
Most sidewalks are designed so that two people in opposite directions can walk comfortably. So if my husband and I are walking side by side and we see someone approaching from the opposite direction, I will step in front of or behind my husband to make room. Quite a few couples refuse to do this.

This one is a story. Last night, I was in the elevator, about to take the dog out. Just before we reach the lobby, I always go towards the door so that I can leave quickly to allow others on. My dog likes to be right up to the door. When we reached the lobby and the doors open, there was a little old lady that was standing so close that her nose must have been touching the door and she freaked when she saw my dog so close to her. I told her that if she stood back to allow people off, maybe she wouldn't piss herself.
So, what are yours?
