The sidewalks and parking lots are crowded – and a little holiday ettiquette may be in order...

Do you stay to the right and pass on the left – when you’re walking?

According to Charles Purdy, author of “Urban Etiquette,” that simple rule of etiquette should apply when malls, aisles and sidewalks get crowded with shoppers. Here are some other tips to help keep holidays happy – if everyone would cooperate:


 
• When jockeying for a parking spot – it should go to the car with the blinker on first, not the closest.

• When cash register lines are disorganized – go with the flow. Huffing and puffing or trying to whip the line into shape won’t save you much time.

• If you’ve got a cart full – have a heart and let the person with one item ahead of you.

• Go ahead and hold the door for the person behind you. Even if two or three people take advantage of your courtesy, it will only eat up about 10 or 15 seconds of your day.
