Tell Us About a Time You Were Classy or Saw Classy Being Done

The words "classy" and "class" have different meanings and especially connotations depending on who's using them and in what context. I want to know about a time when you thought you did or saw something classy, based on your own definition and understanding of the word.

Or was there a time you wish you had done something classy rather than the thing you ended up actually doing?

"Have some class" gets bandied about a fair bit in my family, where we come from a culture were saving/losing face is a big deal. It's generally considered classy to allow someone to save some face, even if they were in the wrong. It's also considered classy to apologise first, attempt to make amends first, to rise above, to be the bigger person. To not give in to the base human urge to revel in being right or justified or sanctimonious.

There are big gestures that demonstrate class. There are also small, subtle things. But in a culture - in particular an online culture - that celebrates being brash and tough and know-it-all-ish and one-upmanship, these things seldom go noticed.

Let's talk about how classy we are and how much classier we can become, SE++.
