My dear wife of 46 years and I have been mellow since we started dating at 15. We love and respect each other but are very low on formality. We like it that way.
Deep into our Mo'ism years I remember an arrogant stake leader berating me for not opening and holding the car door for my wife as we were leaving a stake meeting. On reflection I so wish I'd spoken up and said something along the lines of "You know, that's really none of your business." (Mormonism is so full of self-appointed guardians of standards, etiquette, dress standards, and a lot more.)
I wonder if any of the rest of you have stories of arrogance or other behaviors that give you similar regrets.
