Manners please

This is not about my kids manners because they are hopeless in this area. One will throw away his milk bottle to the nearest people's head after he is done and the other one doesn't understand the concept of Ps and Qs. This is about adults manner, as was discussed by a few people in my egroup. One member has a neighbour who think he is so above the common people that he can't open the front gate by himself. Instead, he blared his horn repeatedly until his maid opened the gate for him. Very convenient, huh! Except that the neighbours were so damn annoyed.

Not surprisingly.....I have that neighbour from hell as well across my house. I have absolutely no idea why neighbours from hell insisted to padlock their tiny gate at all time coz as far as I know, even Amri and his friends are able to easily climb the standard gate, let alone full height adults or well trained burglars. These neighbours must have thought they would die a painful death if they were to get out of their car and opened the gate themselves. To top it up, the poor maid must reached the gate within 3 seconds, otherwise a third, fourth and fifth loud horn would be blaring off repeatedly. I could just imagined, the maid, washing up upstairs bathroom and all the while tring to be alert to the sound of a horn and out of the blue, a horn was blaring and poor maid scurriying downstairs, fumbled with the many millions of front door keys, grill keys and what not only to realise later that the horn was coming from a cooking gas delivery lorry.
Why on earth can't the neighbours from hell install auto gate if they were so hard pressed not to step out to open the gate themselves. If it is a rented property....fine....take out your gate and autogate motor when you decided to move or your landlord chased you out (hopefully). If you still need your maid to open the gate within three seconds then call to remind her three seconds before you arrive. Otherwise, just wait for your maid to reach the gate without blaring the horn repeatedly because, unlike you, we lowly citizens do have babies at home. And babies need their nap. A napping baby does not like the sound of your horrible kancil horn, thank you very much. Even for some of us who do not have babies at home, we still do not like your kancil horn because it is so damn rude to be calling your maid with your horn. I believe good manners are applicable to all races.
