What kinds of things do you consciously do in consideration of others?

This question was suggested by Val123 after I made a comment on another thread about how my mother is always thinking about people around her, and I in turn tend to be the same, although my mom definitely takes it to a higher level. I also pointed out that I think people from big cities tend to be more aware of how they are affecting others in a public place, but I am open to people who disagree with this.

So one example of my mother is that she will not let my father have a cup of coffee after a meal when they are in a restaurant, if the restaurant is very crowded and there is a line of people waiting to be seated. I also went shopping with her recently to buy some German potatoes that I cannot find where I live, and she made me leave two packages on the shelf so if someone else wanted a package there would be one left. She also takes coupons she doesn’t use to the store and gives them away to other customers (I do this too).

What I had pointed out about New Yorkers is they have a lot of rules. Don’t put your feet out in the aisle on the bus or subway, so people can easily get by and won’t trip; don’t block an entrance; don’t block the stairs; stand to the right on an escalator so people who want to go faster can pass you on the left; be rady to go immediately on the green light, especially a green arrow, so as many cars as possible can get through; be ready to order your food when you get to the front of the line, so you don’t hold others up; move to the back of the bus so others can get on.

So, what do you do? Do you even care how your actions affect others? Do you think my mom is overboard? Or, is it refreshing?
