14 Unspoken Rules Of Social Etiquette Everyone Should Follow

It takes a great amount of effort for some people to unlearn or abstain themselves from practicing the basic social etiquette, which can earn them some friends, a clique to hang out with or friendly acquaintances for that matter.

Here are some unspoken rules of social etiquette, we should try to follow

1. Not talking loudly on the phone in theaters

No one’s interested in knowing what you’ve been upto.

 

2. Avoid talking with a mouthful of food

Geez, who wants to see that half-chewed food?

 

3. When the train’s / elevator’s door opens, allow people to exit first

It’s not like if you don’t go in first, it won’t move.

 

4. Just look at it and give it back. Do not swipe left or right on someone’s phone

Yes, it’s not yours.

 

5. Offering seat to the elderly person/ pregnant women/ disabled people

Regardless of your gender or exhaustion.

 

6. Anything borrowed should be returned as quickly as possible

Do not have the lender come at your doorstep and ask for it over and over.

 

7. Do not scratch your crotch in public

Ladies and gentlemen, please.

 

8. Don’t over share

You might be domineering at them.

 

9. Do not give away free advice, if not asked

Ya really, we all have a lot to say in others matters.

 

10. Respect buffer zone

Give some space peeps.

 

11. Do not peep at someone else’s computer

Highly annoying when people do that.

 

12. Practice saying “Thank You”

As much as you can. It doesn’t cost a thing.

 

13. Do not forcefully offer your earphones to everyone

Not many people appreciate using it.

 

14. Be kinder than necessary

For everyone you meet, is fighting for some battle.

In other words, stay classy, stay happy. 🙂
