261. Common courtesy.

I hold the door for other people and others have held the door for me. Men, women, it doesn't matter. But then again, I live in a small city where people tend to be pretty polite. Meet a stranger's eye on the street and exchange good mornings. Bump into each other in the grocery store, usually both parties apologize. And I wish I had a dollar for every time I have seen total strangers stop and help get a car unstuck from deep snow. I am unaware of them first checking to see if they were helping a woman or a man (often can't tell if person is inside of their stuck car).

The only time I really feel I was treated special for being female was when I was very pregnant and people were often very helpful. I was grateful, not insulted.

I see nothing wrong with being courteous to each other. Hell it might even help make the world a better place.
