Till the roof comes off, till the lights go out...
I was reading a Facebook status today about how gentlemen pull out chairs for girls, and it got me thinking:
Not only have I never pulled out a chair for a boy or girl, but I have not even seen it happen. I mean, maybe I have and I just can't remember it, but it certainly doesn't happen very often. Yet in movies and TV, it happens all of the time. Maybe I'm just an ******* and never got the memo, but I really don't see it as very commonplace. I mean, holding a door for someone makes sense because they are right behind you and it doesn't require much extra effort, it just makes it so they don't get hit in the face; but I'm certain anyone is capable of pulling their chair out on their own...It's not even really an inconvenience. I'm more inconvenienced by pushing my chair back in...but I digress.
What customs do you hear about every day but have never/rarely actually seen? Discuss and such.
