Please don't think I am trying to detract from your professionalism or ability but I have said this for a while now. When it has become praiseworthy simply because you aren't a shitbag something needs to change.  I once offered an elderly lady the opportunity to go ahead of me in line at home depot because she was carrying her items and I had a cart so I thought she would appreciate being able to put them down and her reaction to, what to me was just the decent normal thing to do, was so overwhelming, so taken back that I was in shock. She went on and on about how nice I was and how you don't see that anymore and just on and on. I was so sad that I was being praised for doing what Any and Everyone should just always be doing. Courtesy.
