This is a rather small thing, but I truly am grateful for it. I am part of a percussion ensemble and often we need to sit or kneel on a tile floor, but we use foam mats for comfort. Today I joined two other people in a separate room for practice and we didn't have enough mats to have two per person. So, it just happened that one person got to sit on two foam mats while the rest of us had one each. We practiced for a while until it was time to pack it all up. As we got up to put things away, the lady who got the two mats said to the two of us: "Thank you for letting me have two, you guys are such gentlemen."
I really appreciate comments and compliments like that, even the small ones. Such comments are the only reasons I need to be convinced that the attitude of respect and courtesy known today as chivalry is still very much appreciated.
