[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Actively judging people based on their appearance is the height of bad manners OP. Good manners can be listed by rote in a book and that can be helpful. But true class and good manners revolve around the golden rule. How does someone's level of dress if not required by the actual social function affect you? It doesn't. Manners are about how we treat each other. That goes for you as well.[/quote]

If you read, which you did but obviously wanted to pick a fight, the OP said it didn't matter how a person dressed, just that they took some pride in it. As in combed hair, clean clothes not wearing pajamas to the store, etc... and before you bring the homeless or mentally ill into the equation, I think you know what she meant.

Manners are about how we treat each other and you made a huge leap in judgement and embellished what the OP said, what does that say about you?[/quote]I made no embellishment but simply responded to OP's post. I did not approach OP in a grocery store and start spouting my opinion. On the contrary, OP started an anonymous online discussion and I responded with my opinion. I'm not trying to pick a fight but pass on some good advice to OP. Start from within, not from without.[/quote]

From the OPs post, since it wasn't clear to you " I also wish people dressed up more and took more pride in their appearance. [b]I don't care if you are a prep or a psychobilly, you can wear clean clothing and comb your hair. Put on an actual pair of pants to go to the grocery store, things like that[/b]"[/quote]I guess i'm just curious as to what OP's qualifications are in terms of deciding how other people should dress. If he/she should be the final decider, shouldn't he/she be vetted in some small way? Do you see what I'm getting at here? When you are late for an appointment with someone else due to sheer negligence (and even that would be defined different ways by different people), you are affecting someone else directly. A person's dress does not affect you directly.[/quote]
