Are you considerate? Do you think of other people besides yourself?
Consideration -- Careful thought or a fact or a motive taken into account in deciding or judging something. In this case, consideration of others around you, whether you are in a vehicle, walking, shopping, eating out, or whatever. And its NOT just CONSIDERING an issue, fact, or moment in time...it is acting upon it in a respectful manner.
If you smoke, are you a considerate smoker? Do you smoke "downwind" of others? Do you smoke far away from buildings/doorways? Do you put your ashes/butts in proper containers or just throw them on the ground?
Do you just leave your shopping cart in the middle of the isle as to not let any others past?
Do you tailgate or stop in an unsafe/illegal distance from others on the roads?
Do you stop on, over, or past the legal/safe stopping point when driving.....blocking pedestrian walkways?
Do you stop at all, or just "blow through" red lights and stop signs?
Do you talk, yell, or kick the seat in front of you at a movie theater?
Do you stand, blocking doorways and hallways so others cant get by?
Do you shove your way into or out of elevators?
Do you not ever look where you are walking?
Do you get pissed at your waiter or waitress just because its busy?
Do you ignore your neighbor because they may interfere with your day?
When trying to get someones attention, do you yell "hey you", whistle at them like a dog, or snap your fingers?
Do you talk to someone who is already talking to another, whether it be in person or on the phone?
******THESE ARE JUST A FEW EXAMPLES*********
Consideration is pretty much just sub-basic manners. Stuff you were born knowing.
Whether you are taught these things or not, they are instinctive. Most people nowadays just refuse to use the most basic of all manners......consideration.
