I am continually astounded at how many people just aren't nice. They're not nice to their families, they're not nice to the wait staff (to paraphrase Dave Barry, "The person who is nice to you and nice to your friends but is not nice to the waiter is not a nice person."), they're not nice to their friends, they're not nice to random strangers. My parents taught my sister and I to be as nice to each other as we would be to someone we just met, and we have never had all the horrible sibling problems that I gather many people have. It's really a pretty simple, good rule.
