Pretty consistent with the manners I would say, especially around kids and elders. They pick up everything and anything. I’ve no problem with my tone or language usage, I’ve a problem with laughing. Sometimes I laugh at the most awkward situations and that leaves people a bit baffled and I think it goes under bad manners as well … I don’t do it on purpose though. I don’t use profanity as such but saying WTF is not profanity in my book .. actually F is used so much, I’m immune to it. One of my friends can’t take the word at all, she gets all worked up. :hinna:
No I can’t stay calm and well mannered under all situations but I try my best. You would have to do a lot before I blow up on you unless I’m married to you or share genes
I don’t swear… or do I? hehe you’ll never know - the best galis are in punjabi, rest of the languages can’t match that league haha
I consider myself well mannered.
I’m polite. I don’t raise my voice, ever. I watch my tone.
I think I’m pretty respectful towards everyone - ab azmana mat
I have typed ‘wtf’ a few times, but don’t speak it out loudly. I hate saying it. Don’t have a problem with punjabi gaalis though But not infront of kids and elders and not the maa behn type. And not without reason (not that it is justified).
One thing I really cannot stand is when girls call adress each other with ‘beech’ and such words. Such a turn off.
How consistent are you with your manners?
**Very inconsistent.
**
For instance:
Do you watch your language usage, tone etc while talking to others? Do you use profanity, and when?
**I act very different in different settings. I only use profanity when talking to my husband or sisters. **
Can you stay calm and well-mannered under all sort of situations?
**No, I have a bad habit of getting up and leave when I don’t like what’s going on. I don’t excuse myself either. Sometimes this is a very subconscious act. **
Do you swear at people? No, that’s one thing I refuse to do.
Do you consider yourself to be well-mannered? If yes, why? No, not at all. I am one of those parhi likhi jahil.
What is your definition of a well-mannered/ill-mannered person?
**Hell if I know! I don’t pay much attention unless it’s very obvious like someone scratching their privates in public or something like that. **
To make the topic more general: and what about eating manners etc?
**I eat chawal with my bare hands. I don’t care who is watching. There is no fun in eating Biryani with utensils. **
