What is something you still do that others might consider old-fashioned or outdated?

Do you have any 'old school' habits or preferences that clash with the more common way things are done today?

I open doors for women. I take my hat off indoors.

I use a landline fone.
I keep a cell phone in my backpack - TURNED OFF - not seeing the necessity to be connected 24/7.
I don't tweet with twits.
I can type whole pages in standard English - tho I prefer fonetic spelling (not new BTW).
I don't plug music into my ears (making one functionally deaf to any outside sound)

Oh tons of stuff. I don't have a cell phone, I have a VCR and tapes, I have an audio tape recorder that sees FAR more use than my MP3 player has, I (usually) bake cookies from scratch, I write letters to people by hand, and mail them, I do as much business through the mail as is possible, etc.

Alan - I think that's very sweet of you to open doors for women!
Manners - lol - with today's kids, that's something that's definitely out of style. I'm more likely to have a kid charge between a co-worker and I while we're having a conversation, than have the kid say excuse me or go around us, even if there's plenty of room. I don't know how often that's happened.
Taking a hostess gift when I go somewhere - not all the time, but for things like special dinners. Most people don't seem to do that anymore.

I have to totally agree with the hostess gift issue. I wouldn't dream of going to a dinner without a little gift. But few do that anymore.

Mine is the less outdated. The post office is broke, I feel good in doing my part to help keep them in business. But typewriters and VCRs......that shit is just insane.

Ooh ooh...I use a fountain pen! When we are invited somewhere new, we would bring something. We know most of the people we usually visit well enough that we don't stand on formality anymore.

If I had a working VCR, I would probably still use it. I have two, but both of them tend to act funny.

I still have my old VCR, but I never bothered to see if it still works. It prob. does.
