I'm extremely polite when I am a guest somewhere or somehow. If I am somewhere where I will affect other people who didn't necessarily consent to my presence. Like in a restaurant, or a movie theatre, or something like that.

Same here, generally. I always hold doors open, smile, say Thank you etc especially at restaurants, God knows what they do to the food of people who are rude.

However, the moment someone asks me a question, I will answer it completely bluntly, without any beating around the bush. I am not afraid to laugh at any jokes and will often make others uncomfortable with my own. But that is if I know them and it is a voluntary conversation. I will not even word a question or statement any less bluntly if it will have a dramatically better outcome for me.

I find that being brutally honest either works well or works terribly. I have more than once said something to someone, particularly girls when they're in that 13/14/15 year old time period, and it has ended up with them angry (if it's a man) or crying (if it's a woman).

Sometimes I literally couldn't understand what I had done to offend the person, and under such circumstances its hard to show genuine remorse.
