[quote=Anonymous]This post and some other recent ones make me wonder if it is just DCUM that seems overly invested in "manners" over kindness, or if that's a reflection of how people are in real life. IMO, real manners are all about kindness, respect, and thoughtfulness and consideration of others. Fake "manners" are adhering to some arbitrary rules of behavior, even if it causes that person great discomfort. OP putting on airpod could be considered a kindness to his hosts for not spending the full 9 hours trying to accommodate his inability to speak their native tongue. Because if we really want to talk about what is rude and what is not - you might say the in laws are rude for leaving him out of the conversation by carrying on as if he is not there, instead of trying to speak in English in front of him. But OP, thankfully, is not adhering to some arbitrary rules of manners - and does not consider the in laws' behavior rude.[/quote]
