Nobody, I never learned them nor have I cared about them. Manners are just whatever makes a situation most pleasant. Nothing overly complicated

I can't remember. A combination of people I guess. I remember both my parents teaching me things about manners and life. And my school teachers. I'm sure TV and books taught me stuff too. Even now I'm still learning behaviour, but now I teach myself by watching how others and myself behave.

At home I have no manners. I feel sorry for my husband. Hahaha

Vanakkam,

without hesitations, my mother xD
She taught me manners and stuff since very young, but as for swearing...I can't do anything ! The place in the south of France where I am from, many swears are just means to express and not considered offensive...Some are even daily expressions, I can't help saying them at nearly each phrase x"D

Both my parents, as well as a buncha others. I chose my dad though, since he always seemed to think it was particularly important for kids to have nice manners, etc, whilst my mother focused on things with a bit more substance.

Meh, that's not quite right. They both thought manners were important. My dad just had them higher in his list of 'What I need to teach my kids to make sure they don't end up in gaol'

I've no formal training in etiquette. Mom taught me to keep my elbows off of the table and not to chew with my mouth open.

Always lift up your pinkies up when drinking soup from a bowl.

Parents/guardians + peers/associates + cultural norms.

Isn't that kind of how it is for everyone?

The stooges...to this day if someone tells me to kindly speak english and drop the vernacular I respond with "Vernacular? That's a derby!"

Manners are pointless. Being a jerk is waaayyyy more fun. By the way, where'd you get that haircut, at a pet store?
