"Treat others how you'd like to be treated." This came to mind today as I was working at the fabulous Market Basket.

Kind of ties in with the "Respect" thread...but I believe it's different enough.

Anyway, I pretty much treat everyone exactly how I'd like to be treated, be that positive or negative for others.
- I'd like to have the door held open for me, so I'll hold it open for others.
- I don't say "bless you" when someone sneezes, so I don't like being blessed for sneezing. No evil spirits are trying to enter my body (or whatever the lore is with that).
- I don't want to be physically assisted or otherwise "helped," especially when I don't ask for it. If you have a severe physical issue with your body or you're having excessive issues with whatever you're handling, then I'll make an exception. Otherwise, you can help yourself or you're just getting in my way (whichever way you're looking at it).

Sorry for all the threads and the fact that they're so Philosophical...but this stuff interests me and I'm just here to listen to what others have to say. So, let the discussion commence! :D
 
i just try my best not to be a moody douchebag. the rest falls into place beyond that. worst comes to worst i can just live my life Firis-style. :thumbsup:
i do tend to treat people as best i can, and really am not returned the favor most of the time. being a decent human being is a pretty thankless job: hence, my sometimes pessimistic outlook on people in general.

but...i wouldn't call it the golden rule. the real golden rule i'm going to put in spoilers. it's a gem. really. you'll thank me for it.
HOW TO GET A GUARANTEED SECOND DATE:
1. act like someone whom they would consider dating a second time
2. when they try to insist on paying reply with "i get this one, you get the next one" BOOM you got a second date. they feel indebted and BOOM second date. golden rule. never fails.

.............then of course there's also the silver rule which kicks in after the second date...which is the unexpected gift at an unexpected time. it works every time 80% of the time!

yup. the foolproof way is to make them feel like they owe you something. if you're lucky you might even fool them into liking you.
 
No, the golden rule is that guys should always lift the seat when they need to pee.

This response ties in with my response to the respect thread. This so called "golden rule" states that you should treat others as you would want to be treated. For me, it's different, and I don't consider it a "golden rule." I treat others the way they deserve to be treated.

People used to think that your heart stopped when you sneezed, so they would bless you because god allowed you to live past your heart stopping or some sh*t like that.
 
I thought it was because they thought it was evil spirits coming out of your nose.
 
Back in the dark ages when there was the plague everyone thought that when you sneezed yousoul was escaping and thats why you got the plague. So the king ordered everyone to say God bless you everytime anyone sneezed so no one would get sick.

And the golden rule is that whoever has the gold makes the rules.
 
I usually give as good as I get. Sometimes however I'll treat a person better than they treat me, but that is a rare privilege I usually only afford to the people close to me. In the larger picture though I would say that "treat others the way you would expect to be treated." applies to me more than anything.
 
I'm like a Nice Arsehole to everyone, in that I make a really ****-taking joke at their expense but then treat people totally nicely and with respect two seconds later.

And if the nice thing doesn't work, I run like f**k.
