So the photo with "fakes" is actually correct, I believe.

I think one is a gentleman when he opens doors for the ladies. But. (xD) I'll say that a CONSIDERATE person will do for both the sexes! I mean, say...What if the gentleman sees the lady's grandad behind her? Shouldn't he wait and keep the door open for the grandad too? :D Even though different cultures/religions have different point of views on manners, I think it's a great list, anyways! (JFrater: I've always liked your lists!) Hello everyone :)

So that photo could still be considered proper etiquette Actually, the street walking custom used to be that the man walked on the building side of the sidewalk to protect the woman from the emptying of chamber pots.

A lot of these are still practiced in the south (southeastern US, specifically.) Men almost ALWAYS hold the doors open, even if you're not accompanying them. Thank you notes are standard and talking about money is faux pas. Of course this doesn't apply to everyone in the south, but it is still pretty prominent. And as a side note... I have always thought it was so sweet when a guy walked on the street-side of the sidewalk. I mean, the odds of being hit by a car while on the sidewalk are slim, but it is the thought that counts. :) i guess i’m a bit late on commenting on this list, however…

The wedding attire entry is silly. Especially when you consider that a Catholic wedding starts in the afternoon so they can hold mass. Expecting the wedding party to change attire is unreasonable, even 150 years ago and for the well heeled. I also disagree with the late 15 minutes and you're eating in the kitchen bit. It was customary to receive your guests in a parlor/living room allowing everyone a cocktail and a once about the room before sitting. If eating at someones house NEVER be early, even by 5 minutes. Being right on time is being early. Give the host the margin of error hosting you deserves. Anything else looks rigidly eager. 10 minutes late will do, 15 min. at max.
