I judge peoples actions and treatment of others, I dont put myself as better or worse than any other imperfect human

LOL

toilet paper?

never heard that one,,,

You just did.

Bet you've heard of toilet seat etiquette

up or down?

I usually leave it down as a consideration to the females.
Perhaps I should start leaving it how it is after I finish to avoid being seen as a bourgeoisie

lol, honestly, never understood that fuss either, how much effort does it take to look first and put it up or down as needed?

no worries

Its a thin and subjective line , I know

and people who hold on to 'proper' customs and traditions have every right and shouldn't be disparaged or discouraged

holding to customs isnt what makes someone bougiese but looking down at those who dont choose to does

I shared a dinner with someone who was very rude about someone who hadnt used the 'right' fork to eat their salad and I wanted to barf

that type of better than thou attitude over things as simple and insignificant as cutlery, really baffle and sicken me


so, you were brought up to have enough cutlery in the house to have salad AND dinner forks,, whoop de doo,,,not everyone was but they are not any less than you because of it


so you know the right WINE for a specific meal, but not everyone grew up having those kinds of meals or any type of wine


younger people say no problem, spanish say de nada(literally its nothing) , and older generations say you are welcome, but does it really matter which one as long as they all have the same intent and meaning?



some things that are strictly etiquette are lovely to have , but they dont make anyone any better than anyone else




does this kind of bougiese irritate anyone else, or am I oversensitive?
