Real Men Don't Eat Quiche... Or Rush Into Elevators
You probably clicked on our blog to learn a thing or two about grooming or a tid bit in regards to our growing company. Who knows, maybe you just liked the picture of the two goofy guys and said, "hmmmm... got nothing better to do." Well, sorry to disappoint this go around, but we're not writing about our usual fare. Instead, as a result of our very intensive travel as of late, us Grooming Guys have noticed a few very un-gentleman-like habits from guys around this great country. They are all fix-able, but any guy guilty of these snafus should shape up right away. We guess good grooming goes beyond a pretty face. Read below and you'll know who we're talking about (not you of course)
LET THEM OFF... THEN GET ON: Whether it's an elevator, a bus, a subway or airport transit, good manners dictate that one must let everyone OFF before one gets IN. Even if you start to walk IN before noticing there's people trying to get OFF, you just gotta' give an "oops-like" look and step OFF.
THAT SEAT IS ATTACHED TO SOMEONE: When you stand up on a plane or at a movie, real gents should note that the seat in front of you is NOT a tool to provide leverage to get you vertical. Instead, someone is sitting in that seat and when it's pulled back or shaken, it has an effect on the schmuck sitting in front of you.
WHO CLEANS UP THOSE BUTTS?: When you see a guy walking down the street smoking and they flick their cigarette onto the street, who exactly do they think should pick it up? Not a very considerate gentleman-in-training indeed. Instead, there are plenty of trash cans or ashtrays around that don't require somebody to clean up trash. This certainly goes for the folks who like to enjoy a quick cig in front of our D.C. store (us Grooming Guys have picked up our fare share of those).
JUST SAY NO TO EMOTICONS: We can't even force ourselves to make one to show you what we're talking about, but you've seen them. Little sad, happy or goofy faces people make out of symbols on the keyboard and send along in e-mails to show emotions. Naahhh... not for gentlemen.
