Gracious starts from clearing plates?

Towards this topic, many may ask how much time will it spend one to clear his or her plates? Few seconds? It doesn't matter at all. Please do not talk about graciousness on clearing plates until normal daily gestures of life that people should act graciously is put into consideration first.

Look, I am not a bad guy here, but I am just helping out those who shut up and "swallowed" all bad gesture done to them, and intending to keep in them for life to speak up.

Example:
  • Standing at the mouth of the escalator regardless of up and down chit-chatting.
  • Stop directly at the mouth of the escalator thinking which direction is the right one to take.
  • Refuse to move in to the back of the bus even though there is space behind resulting the passengers waiting for the bus could not board.
  • When a bus arrives at the stop, the GREAT SINGAPORE SALES starts. I mean the pushing and squeezing.
  • Walking along a crowded area and suddenly stop to think of places to go resulting in a major halt causing a jam behind.
  • Blocking a narrow pathway with your entire family so that you own something in your life.
Well, stated are just a few examples. Dare to tell me you never been annoyed by this?

I can't blame on the teenagers, as most of these were caused mostly by young parents and elderly. Some will even say, you can pardon the elderly. Me and my gf witness an elderly who had missed his stop due to his own mistake and when he had gave up his seat, of course it will be taken by anyone. So after he missed the stop, he immediately ask a little boy to get up from his seat and let him have it IMPOLITELY.

Another incident is when I was on my way to Jurong Point. This was better than the first elderly. A seat was let out to this elder women and immediately she sat down in the MRT, she start to peel orange. Gracious? Wow.... So should we pardon everything we see?
