Am I considered well mannered?

[kyrax12]

I am trying to be more polite so whenever I always try to use Ma'am and Sir when addressing people.

I conditioned myself to smile whenever I make eye contact with people.

That's not necessarily well-mannered and at times it's creepy.

 

[SandEagle]

you're being fake and rude.

Well I live in the U.S and we are encouraged to give a quick smile.

I think it's better to be natural than artificially polite. If extra politeness is natural, fine, otherwise, do what feels right.

The proper response when someone asks you what you are looking at is to say: "that's what I am trying to figure out."

That is pretty funny right there, considering the source.

 

[Vapid Cabal]

I think it is rude and unnecessary to conform to make others "happy".

So it is rude to smile for the sake of giving people an honest driven gesture ? Wow how mentality has changed.
