Malaysian seems to have lost any sense of common courtesy. More often than not you find yourself being pushed around in the overcrowded bus. You may have been rudely served at the fast food joint, or ignored, or dissed at (because you wear ciplak slippers and shabby clothes). You may have once or twice expected your fellow colleague or friend to help you with files or just to open the door for you, only to have the fella rushing off quickly even before you get to the door. You may have found yourself in situations where you were 'fingered' on the road just because you were on the fast lane for a tad bit trying to overtake a Kancil. You may have even been shouted at at the general hospitals or govt offices because you didn't get the forms right (for fark's sake, it can be quite complicated). And so, any act of courtesy or indication you're a slight gentleman is greatly appreciated! Just the other day, a friend of mine actually told me to sit down while he got coffee for us (alamak, some men nowadays like to toss some money to women and ask women to order stuff while the men sit back and smoke or read newspapers). After the whole coffee session, he even walked me to the parking lot, I can almost count the number of guys who's actually done that for me- less than 10 maybe. Some would even go to great lengths to check if you've safely reached home. HAH and so, guys if you wanna score points, just practice common courtesy and be a great gentleman. It's so rare these days. Women love that immediately when they spot a gentleman :)

Did you post this for me? LOL
I have had too many friends that will sit down there and wait for the stuffs to be served.
I always have good impression to those guys who left only after I entered the home safely. If I drive home after the dates, i's always thoughtful to even receive just a phone call asking "Are you home yet?" :)
Small gesture counts.
eh, i thought all guys should know that?!
Courtesy comes with a price nowdays too.
I agree with this post. Where did the common courtesy go?
By the way, thank you for visiting my blog.
(:
hahaha i guess they either have none of it, or they quit after getting bored of how people reacted to their act of kindness ...
i tried opening doors for the ladies, or at least holdig them open while waiting for the to get in, blardy hell, they used the other door, while i am standing like a fool, sometimes i even spot a smile ... or they walk in and try to stay as far away as possible from me ... why ar? i got BO ar? damn my 200 bucks bottle of perfume must have expired thus emitting a bad case of BO-like smell ...
or when i see someone trying to get out, with thier hands full, i would quicken my pace and go open the door for them, and stand there while waiting for them to get out, they used their back push open the other door, ignoring you ...
was in the LRT, and saw this lady in her 40s, a milf la ... wih files, with 2 bags, offered her my seat, i got up and offered her the seat, she looked at me, surprised, and look the other way ... i was like ... i just sat back down and cussed her 9 9 ...
was queuing up in 7-11 for a pack of ciggarettes ... this chicks came in to the store in a rush, so i offered her my place, she bought her pack of ciggarete and left off ...
all i wanted was just a word of thanks or at least a fake fading smile would do ...
this are some of the shits you get in KL for being kind, nevertheless i still try to be kind whenever possible ... but please dont go saying that there is not much gentlemens in KL...
