I think people who do not give up a seat to an elderly person or pregnant woman, are impolite. I think that people who criticize others in a public forum, without thought as to the potential onaas devarim, are impolite. I think that anyone who does something AVOIDABLE that causes discomfort or upset to someone else, is impolite, as well as thoughtless, and inconsiderate. I especially think it is impolite to refuse to own up to one’s offense and say “sorry” and mean it, when one becomes apprised of having been impolite. Yes, we should try to be mevater, but sometimes we should NOT. Please try to be more polite. Thank you.
