A wise man said once that the best way to deal with others was to give them a horizontal trait.
And what is that, you say? Well, for starters, it's when you don't make a distinction of any class when dealing with people. It means complying with more than just basic etiquette within your own cultural frame.
A stupid example would be when someone texts you and you get to see the message in time. If it's a question and you're not busy performing plastic surgery or operating a nuclear reactor, the correct thing would be to reply with an answer, whether it's affirmative or negative matters doesn't matter.
The reason i'm coming up with this example is that i've heard stories of people (mostly women) who react badly when they don't recieve a quick reply. Before i realised this, i wouldn't reply in conversations where i had nothing to say; for example, if someone texted me asking for a date of an event i hadn't heard of, i'd simply ignore it, presuming that whoever texted me knew that silence means no.
Ever since i realised people actually gets anxious about this, i put a little more effort, providing i've got the time to reply back.
Let's see how things go from now on.
