I have always been one for manners, but the manners that I carried with me were oddly the ones my parents never taught me.
I enjoy speaking in gentle tones. I view raising my voice as a bodily strain.
I always hold doors when another is leaving or entering after me.
I never fail to say please and thank you.
I hate it when people talk or chew with thier mouths open and I absolutely cannot stand to eat with my elbows on the table.
Has anyone else developed good habits and what are they? Do you have any peeves or tips for the rest of us?

A few peeves of mine are, well for a first, people chewing with their mouth full, which you have already said. >.<
Another is people reading what i'm typing/reading and standing behind my should while doing it. It often lead to them breathing down my neck and that is highly uncomfortable.

One thing I hate is unknown people calling me by my first name. Customers do that at my work because of our nametags and it makes me want to kill each time scream .
And it's Miss (for me), please, not Mrs. Mrs. is for married ladies or women above 30 years old.
I am obsessed by the way people communicate with each other, politeness should be a priority but people forget it xp .

I completely agree. 3nodding It's always bothered me to call a stranger by their first name as if I'm familiar with them.

I agree, I absolutely hate it when people do that. I also hate when people agree with me just for the sake of agreeing, especially when I know they haven't a clue what I was talking about.
As for the manners, I always hold doors for people -as Whispering_x_Demon already stated-, I find it extremely rude not to. Also, I rarely call adults who aren't in my family by their first names. It's Mr.___, Mrs.___, or Miss___.

It seems to me that we're entering a generation with no manners whatsoever. I had a very relaxed - you might say eccentric - upbringing, but good manners were always encouraged. Because of the complete lack of manners among so many others, I find good manners go a long way now. Even something simple like going to a cafe, people serving me often seem genuinely surprised and pleased by me always using please and thank you, and any other courtesies. It brings me down a little, that so many people just can't be bothered now, or never learned how - it's really not that hard.

I try to make a point to be patient with people who are being rude, obnoxious, or slow. Especially slow. It doesn't help if you make people feel stupid; that'll just hurt there feelings and stress them out. It's hard to improve yourself when people are constantly reminding you how dumb you are. (Not claiming to be smarter than anyone.)
Though, I have a bad habit of mumbling and I'm sure that would get on a lot of people's nerves.

hello ladies i'm new (but i havn't exactly gotten around to posting a formal introduction).
i have a good many pet peeves, but one i really can't stand is when my mother is talking to me about another adult, she refers to said adult as "miss/mr. *insert first name*" for instance, if she were talking to me about a woman named laura, she would be miss laura.
now, to me, it sounds so incredibly childish. in my opinion, you should reserve adressing someone by miss/mr. followed by a first name for someone younger than you and use the last name for someone older than you. it may be just me though o.o in any case, i try to get her to quit that by making a point to ask for a last name. ok i'm ranting. i'll stop now before i annoy all of you XD

I was brought up with my Grandmother living with me. She always taught me good manners. The basic, simple things, which everyone should know come nateraly to me now.

My peeve would have to be openly staring. Whatever has happened to being discreet? If you must look, please don't be so obvious about it. Basic manners: It's rude to stare.
Also, when people walk three and for abreast in a hallway. It's courtesy to keep to one side, when you take up the whole corridor, it's impossible to get around, and some people are in a hurry.

Especially when the person takes the time to look at your face, then your clothes and shoes, and then back to your face! xp So annoying...
