A goiter? Where?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d) all mean our once-held notions of privacy and personal space have evolved&#8212;or devolved&#8212;to the point where they&#8217;re barely recognizable, does that mean discretion is obsolete? That civility is extinct? That manners just don&#8217;t matter anymore? Some would say, Of course not! Some, <em>Absolument pas<\/em>. Still others, Up yours! To which we ask, Can&#8217;t we all just get along?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>For those of who want to play a manners game, here is the caption that accompanied the above photo:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rules of the road:<\/strong> (1) No raking women with your eyes; glance quickly and respectfully.  (2) Offer to share a taxi rather than fight over   it. (3) Babies in strollers get right-of-way&#8212;until they abuse it. (4) Still no ogling girls&#8212;c&#8217;mon!   (5) And skateboarding, are you kidding me?   (6) Not everybody loves your dog as much as you do. (7) No bicycling on the sidewalk unless under the age of 6.   (8) Pedestrians can die of secondhand smoke, too. (Photomontage by Peter Rad)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spacing has a feature in the magazine called the Manners Duck.
