Vous vous sentez enrag\u00e9s quand quelqu’un bloque le c\u00f4t\u00e9 gauche de l’escalier roulant? Ou quand les gens entrent dans le m\u00e9tro sans attendre que les passagers en descendent? Ou encore quand personne ne laisse son si\u00e8ge \u00e0 une personne \u00e2g\u00e9e? Enrag\u00e9 est un bien grand mot, mais reste qu’un manque de biens\u00e9ance publique peut parfois nous sembler tragique, un signe d’une soci\u00e9t\u00e9 d\u00e9cadente! D’un autre c\u00f4t\u00e9, \u00eatre t\u00e9moin d’une civilit\u00e9 particuli\u00e8re peut nous redonner espoir en tout et nous faire oublier que quelqu’un vient de couper la file d’attente pour l’autobus.<\/p>\n

Lors du lancement de Spacing Montr\u00e9al, nous vous avons demand\u00e9 de remplir un sondage. Une des questions portait justement sur la biens\u00e9ance publique. Nous esp\u00e9rions voir comment les Montr\u00e9alais(es) se comportaient en soci\u00e9t\u00e9… Je note ici quelques r\u00e9ponses disparates:<\/p>\n

OUI<\/strong><\/p>\n

– Attendre que les gens sortent du m\u00e9tro avant d’y entrer
\n– Faire la bise
\n– V\u00e9rifier pour les v\u00e9los avant d’ouvrir la porte de son auto
\n– Faire la queue pour attendre l’autobus
\n– Redresser les v\u00e9los tomb\u00e9s
\n– Saluer et remercier le chauffeur d’autobus<\/p>\n

NON<\/strong><\/p>\n

– Entrer dans le m\u00e9tro avant que les gens n’en sortent
\n– Rester immobile du c\u00f4t\u00e9 gauche des escaliers roulants
\n– Laisser la merde de son chien sur le trottoir
\n– Cracher
\n– Ne pas retenir la porte pour la prochaine personne<\/p>\n

Les r\u00e9ponses les plus populaires sont celles de la file d’attente pour l’autobus et celle des entr\u00e9es et sorties de m\u00e9tro. Je dois avouer que bien des fois, en sortant du m\u00e9tro, il me vient l’envie de sortir droit devant moi en repoussant soigneusement la personne (pour qui je n’existe pas) essayant d’entrer d\u00e8s que les portes s’ouvrent. Un jour viendra.<\/p>\n

Quelques r\u00e9ponses m\u00e9ritent aussi une mention toute particuli\u00e8re. Comme “la fa\u00e7on dont les gens se tassent pour ne pas s’asseoir \u00e0 c\u00f4t\u00e9 de quelqu’un dans l’autobus.” J’y r\u00e9fl\u00e9chis mais je n’arrive pas \u00e0 me convaincre si c’est une bonne ou une mauvaise chose. Aucun doute pour celle-ci par contre: les “fusillades polici\u00e8res”; effectivement un manque flagrant de savoir vivre. Ou bien encore ce manque de civilit\u00e9 qu’est “n’avoir aucune biens\u00e9ance ou la moindre conscience de la pr\u00e9sence d’autres \u00eatres humains.” Rien de plus vrai.<\/p>\n

On ne fait que toucher la pointe de l’iceberg, par contre. Laissez-nous donc vos commentaires, histoires, tirades, etc. Petit \u00e0 petit, on arrivera bien \u00e0 cr\u00e9er un petit guide pratique de la bien-et mal-s\u00e9ance publique montr\u00e9alaise.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

At Spacing Montr\u00e9al’s launch party, we asked you to fill out a survey. One of the questions had to do with public etiquette. We wanted to know how Montrealers behaved socially… Here is a sample of the answers:<\/p>\n

DO<\/strong><\/p>\n

– Waiting for people to get off the metro before getting in
\n– Double kiss greeting
\n– Checking for bikes before opening the car door
\n– Proper queuing for the bus
\n– Picking up fallen bikes
\n– Greeting and thanking the bus driver<\/p>\n

DON’T<\/strong><\/p>\n

– Entering the metro before people had a chance to get off
\n– Standing on the left side of the escalator
\n– Not performing “poop and scoop”
\n– Spitting
\n– Not holding the door<\/p>\n

Other noteworthy answers included “the way people move so as not to sit next to anyone on the bus.” I’ve given this one some thought, but can’t make up my mind whether it’s a good or bad thing. But there is not doubt about “police shootings”. A clear lack of civility. Or again the “lack of any etiquette or even awareness of other human beings.” True indeed.<\/p>\n

This is only the tip of the iceberg though. Send us you comments, stories, rants, etc. Slowly but surely we’ll come up with some practical Montr\u00e9al guide to good -and bad- public etiquette.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
