Are there any weird etiquette rules in your country? Here're really unexpected etiquette rules from different countries ruclips.net/video/BjN7Sp-DwQ4/видео.html
Here in Portugal, one calls unfamiliar people eg the shopkeeper or plumber Mr and their name eg Mr David. If the person is female they are called for example Dona Susan. If someone is an engineer ... or a doctor ... you get called the equivalent of mr/ms doctor(or engineer) Miller! A long mouthful !
Also, hold the door for the person behind you If someone is walking behind you, hold the door open, don’t just let it slam in their face, its extremely rude
My ex Bff was at a sleepover at my house and 45 minutes into the sleepover she *Facetimed one of her other friends and talked to her for ONE HOUR* so yeah midwestkatie you are correct.
Or,"You lost a lot of weight (even if they weren't really that obese). They might think," Was i THAT big?" That might be the reality but a still a bit awkward as it could be a backhanded compliment.
I cane into my work place one evening with no makeup and no business clothes on to study. The guy delivering product said , “omg you look like your dog just died.” My co-workers never stopped making fun and gossiping about that afterwards. Some things are just better left unsaid. I wasn’t sure if he was ride to be so blunt or if it was rude of me to come into my coffee shop looking different than I always do. P.s. I don’t own a dog. I actually had cats that I had to give away 😔
Totally! My home, my rules. It's bad etiquette if someone wants to tell me what I can or cannot do in my own four walls, especially while I'm alone, I would say.
I personally dont think this is about being polite so it doesnt belong in this vid. Not saying its ok to break rules- but its not bothering others around you like being loud in theater would be.
Actually you would know the reason why they do that. Its cause they have their own difficulties too u know? Even i thought they were rude then i watched this: ruclips.net/video/szOH0ehAkAY/видео.html ; Now i hope u understand my reply P.S: i do not work in this industry nor am i trying to defend it, thus the above thoughts r sincerely mine.
Movie theatres use the money from concession sales to pay the electricity/water/gas bills & the rent, in some cases mortgage, on the building & keeping the building maintained. A percentage also goes to help pay employees & at the large theatre chain I worked for as the general manager, I received a "concession bonus" every quarter (a percentage of the concession sales). Ticket sales go to the movie companies not the cinemas. High concession prices keep the theatres open. Knowing all of this still doesn't help my pocket book when I go see a movie. 😛
Okay, my school is primary school, so straight away u can imagine how awful that is with the little kids- -elbows on the table -loud talking -talking with food in ur mouth -food flying everywhere -people get more food on the floor than it touches their mouth
When you invite guests and expect them to take their shoes off in your house it is your duty to offer them slippers. When expecting guests make sure you have basic things like guest towel, soap and toilet paper in the guest bathroom. It is amazing how many people don't bother with this. And it doesn't cost much and is not hard!
"Avoid discussing politics, religion, & money" yeah, this is the exact reason people can't have reasonable discussions about politics & religion because we never learned how.
One thing about politics and religions: everyone thinks they are right, and won’t change their opinions. So why discuss it with anyone but those interested in a deeper academic discussions anyway? Most people bringing these up are just looking for attention or arguments.
I know. Besides, I don't know about you or anybody else, but its not like I have a stream of foot traffic beating a path to my door every day. I can't recall the last time a neighbor dropped by unannounced or a friend dropped by without calling first. Of course, maybe that's a subtle statement about my personality, or perhaps they're afraid of what state of nakedness I might be in.
@Marcus Aurelius functional and decent society by instructing strangers on the internet what to wear and what not to wear in the comfort of their own home? tosser
The most important of all are missing: say please and thank you. Elders should be treated with respect. Not everyone understands or accepts to be addressed as "guys", Speaking on the phone loudly when in public: in a queue, at a cashier, at a stand.
I do not understand people who get upset over "guys". My perspective is they over the top sensitive and take things far too personally. Maybe someone can explain why they dislike it.
When you go out to eat with relatives, friends, colleagues or even alone 1. order polite what you want 2. shut off your phone 3. make nice conversation 4. let tip for waiter 5. make from going out a pleasant event 6. smile 7. be polite
1.never visit without invitation 2.dont ask for wifi password 3.never leave in umbrella open to dry 4. Never put your handbag on table or on lap 5. Wear comfortable clothes 6.ladies can wear jats and gloves inside 7.dont wear more than 13 accessories 8.inviting to someone don't means you pay 9.dont inconvenience the other people in an elevator
Not to seat beside the driver's seat? I was told thr opporsite. Its rude to ride at the back and keep the front/side seat empty if the one driving is not a hired driver. If you do, its as if treating the person your driver.
As an avid driver, the first seat I'd expect anybody to get in is the passenger seat. If I have 2 friends riding with me, one gets in the passenger, the other chooses any seat in the 2nd row. Keep in mind that it's easier to glance backwards at them for a bit of friendly eye contact if we are all having a bit of a conversation. Then the if the 2nd row is filled, people then file into the 3rd row. But this is never really the case
Would she barge in on a house guest? Probably not. Why give more respect to a house guest than your own child? It clearly said in an emergency it’s understandable, but just everyday is a little abrasive. What if the child is changing clothes?
I can't believe the size and weight of some women's handbags. Can take up the whole table & give them lopsided posture. Your huge handbag is not my problem.
A. You don't have to remove your shoes unless it's a household that does that. You don't just take off your shoes no matter what in people's houses. That's rude. B. In my house I'll wear what I want. If people stop by unannounced they can wait for me to change OR I might not answer the door.
For some reason most people allow their hotel room doors to slam shut behind them. I've been woken up many times over the years because of this. What I do is turn the handle and quietly close the door when I'm going into my room. If I'm leaving my room I'll insert the keycard into the door locking mechanism, turn the handle and quietly close the door. It's not rocket science.
Never mix 2 hypergolics at ambient temperature with atmospheric pressure more than 15 psi....just saying...its not rocket science...its common sense...
I think the whole “scooting past people in aisles” part is incorrect, just because it goes entirely against everything I was formally taught at art school for seven years. Every year at my middle and high school, we were reminded of correct theatre etiquette. The correct way to pass through a row of seated people is to have your backside towards them. Also, the people seated are not to stand, but to angle their legs in the direction the person is headed. It creates the least amount of disturbance during performances and is a lot more effective than one might think.
Ur talking about a theatre. Where u literally expecting this rule to apply in this situation? Did u honestly think it makes sense for the entire row of seated ppl to stand up, walk to the isle to let ppl in (only to get their seat stolen) and then all go back into the row to sit. I feel like common sense should prevail here.
being polite and being a kind gentleman by saying please and thank you, asking to do something, always introduce yourself first when talking to someone, and staying calm and keeping a smile in public even if you are having the worst day of your life these are the everyday rules I follow when I'm out of the house
Or don't answer the door, at all. My home. I'll dress how I want and I don't have to answer the door if someone stops by unannounced. No hiding. No sneaking around. I'll be free and still won't answer.
I let my cell phone off during the class or some similar event, I always walk on the right to keep order, I walk some meters from someone talking on the phone (I don't wanna listen to it, for me it's lack of respect), I avoid being so close to people in crowded places and I never touch someone I am talking to. And I always use the magic words.
Phone etiquette, when leaving a voicemail give your name and number most importantly at the beginning of the call. That way the receiver doesn't have to listen to the full message again to bring it back up.
Thank you, thank you! These good manners videos is what need to be seen and learned. I too often feel like I had the only mom that cared to instill her children with good manners and proper etiquette.
Leaving your umbrella open to dry is considered rude?? I never knew that. On rainy school days, pretty much every single classmate of mine leaves their umbrella open to dry on the floor, usually in the back of the class. If there's a lot of umbrellas, which there usually are, they go all the way from the back of the class to right in front of the board. Sometimes it's annoying when you try to get up from your seat and trip over some guy's umbrella, but I never knew it was considered rude. Even our teachers do it when they enter the classroom.
something that i follow pretty much everywhere is to stay quiet and have your eyes on the person talking. do not take your eyes off of them unless you’re writing something down they may have said. you tend to be a better listener and it shows the person speaking that you are interested in what they are saying and it’s just very respectful in general i mostly follow this in school, and it’s crazy how many people don’t have simple respect for the speaker
shanellsplace yes, it does. You can lean against a smaller purse, hold in lap, sling over shoulder, use a booth. Many ppl don't want to eat with someone's dirty purse taking up table space. Yuck.

I have problems with my coworks because I was too much close to them and talked too much about my personal lifestyle to them. That ruined my ex-position as the exjob. It rules the #3 Informality between stranger is forbidden. Acting with them as the stranger. Thank BrightSide for the Office Important Tip for Success.
Public and polite discussion of religion and politics are foundational to good culture. The frequent, polite, exchange of ideas allows people to consistently examine their beliefs, and to find like minded individuals, and build stronger communities. Cultures begin to crumble when outliers shout down such necessary polite exchanges. Thank you.
Actually in Europe we consider it somewhat strange when people stand facing the exit of the lift. It's more common to stand facing the middle of the lift in most of the situations. I think it makes no difference really, we just tend to stare at the ground instead making eye contact, but it's just the way it is here.
It has been said, many times over, "Had we learned how to talk about 'religion and politics civilly, as a matter of course, 'our world would NOT be in the condition it is in," 'therefore, for the sake of the present, future, and posterity, I disagree with this adage, not to talk politics and religion. I say, 'talk, talk, talk!
I agree. People should learn to talk about it in respectful and open matter. Not hush hush hush and then vote extremists.... I was born in a communist country, but i was a child when the cold war ended. For long time I thought that "don't talk about politics" was just a rule we had on the wrong side of iron curtain, not to get arrested....
I'd like to agree and have done that for many years but would never bring up such subjects first. Even less so now, since I don't want to encourage an approach that means forbidding conflict outright. Conflict and argument are natural and good and I'd prefer a model in which there are no-go areas for those things, and elsewhere they are allowed full flight, than one in which conflict is disallowed just so we can let the subjects intrude everywhere in life. Then again, I might just be sick of coworkers' daily views on the politics of a neighbouring, foreign country. The workplace was also once a forbidden zone for such things.
an nami I agree, these things should be talked more. However, many times these conversations can take a personal tone which may lead to people discussing their biased opinions and thoughts and could create the perfect climate for a fight over disagreements.
These apply to family too. My family always coming over without warning and getting into my fridge and walk for my wifi. Or when I invite them over for dinner they have their face in their phone the entire time.
I believe I was taught of all of these things when I was little, and RUclips recommended me this video just as a reminder that trying to change the way you are just to fit in is not the best thing to do. :)
Thank you for the info. :) In some countries, placing the bag on the floor means that you will not be prosperous anymore... and, in general, we don.t place any personal item directly on the floor. :)
If I receive a gift, I write a Thank You note and mail it, the old-fashioned way. Similarly, if I go to a function or attend an event like dining in a restaurant and then seeing a movie with a friend, I make sure to send a short note to my companion a few days later. I usually tell them what a good time I had, thank them for their attendance and mention a repeat outing would be agreeable in the future.
Also, I don't find anything wrong in chatting with my close buddies about family problems or love affairs! If our besties can help us in our daily life problems, what's bad in that! Sometimes friends are capable of doing things which family members cannot!
The worst is morning elevator or subway when you're short. Suffocating in deodorant, cologne (you can tell the diff between cologne (alcohol) and perfume), hair spray/mousse, makeup (yes it smells, esp cheap stuff),body/hand lotion, after shave, breath mints, coffee - all combining together...it is terrible. Good way to start the day with a head ache. Who needs to be so smelly at work?
My parents don't knock on my door before entering but I do knock before entering their room... I've explained many times to them that I need privacy but they still barge in 😕
When I first went into nursing we were not allowed to wear earrings at all including studs in case they fell out and went into an open wound and especially not in theaters, I've noticed a lot do now, and only wedding rings are allowed but I've noticed a lot of nurses wearing rings as well.
I have a serious issue with people just stopping by without calling. And those who know me respect that. Also, if I want to wear comfy pj pants a T-shirt and don’t plant on guest or plans on leaving the house I’m gonna wear a clean pair after my shower
Always say please and thank you when appropriate. When visiting someone in hospital, try not to stay too long. People who are ill tire quickly. Use your indoor voice when in a restaurant. Other people are paying for the privilege to sit there and enjoy the ambiance as well as you. In that vein, please do not allow your children to have the run of the restaurant. Others may not appreciate sticky little hands on their clothes. If your baby is crying, go to the ladies or mens room with him/her, or take the child out to your car for some time out.
I think this "ettiquite" just stems from kindness in these heavily contextual areas. I don't agree with the topics of conversation. People should be vulnerable enough with one another to talk about whatever they want to. The ettiquite behind it should be: change the subject if you sense someone's discomfort.
Only talk about personal things with people you're very familiar with. If you're only acquaintances or coworkers and what to keep it that way, then don't talk about these things. Be cordial. Otherwise, those 9 secrets things are mostly fair game.
A very interesting video, some etiquettes that I follow, apart from these are, When you bowwor a book, cover it and always return on time. When you borrow someone's car, always clean & refuel it before returning.
Other etiquette rules... 1. Use appropriate language in public (no swearing) 2. Use the proper greeting when answering the phone at work (Use your company's and department's name, and ask how can you assist) 3. Wash your hands before leaving the restroom, especially because of the next rule. 4. When shaking hands, do not squeeze the other person's hand too hard. A nice firm handshake will suffice.
if u r looking to my cmt..... i want to tell something smile and enjoy your life because yesterday has gone and tommorow may never come!! have a nice day...
thanks for saying that because yesterday at my middle school I had a horrible day but I kept smiling but I still was mad inside but thanks that really helps what you said and I hope you have a great rest of your life
amber capps So young to have learned a great life lesson! When someone is angry, and spreads that anger around, the world is a sadder place. Better to smile and look for a positive resolution to a problem. And forgive. Hard sometimes, but forgiveness is like cleaning out your heart of dirty residue. Doesn't mean you have to like the person. Does mean you give yourself the power to move on at peace, instead of giving them the power to control your heart. You are going to have a good life, young wise one!
Just my opinion, but whenever going to a formal event, switch out to a smaller purse. Only bring the essentials (keys, wallet, phone, and maybe some lipstick or small cosmetic items. If you know you likely will not need it, don’t bring it with you). Secondly, if people are sleeping in the house, always twist the handle when going to close a door. Twist it all the way before opening or closing it; the idea is to make as little noise as possible. Same rules apply to places like classrooms, libraries, or other quiet environments. When making a hot beverage, always offer to make one for someone else. Never just make hot tea or coffee without offering it to anyone. Make eye contact with speaking; even if you are not interested in the conversation, by making eye contact you show that you care about what they have to say. No elbows on the table, hands should be either in your lap or neatly folded in front of you. Has to do with posture. Smile often; smiling is contagious, and it makes you more approachable. It doesn’t have to be a big, goofy grin, just a content, natural, relaxed smile or expression. In other words, avoid “resting b*** face”
There are some useful rules you talk about, but your advice on what topics we CAN talk about is actually the best advice on how to become the most boring person in the world!
Another example of the culture raising a generation. My parents taught me this stuff, not RUclips. They also taught me there is a time and place to discuss more intimate things like religion, politics. It was never universally tabooed!
I'm 37, the oldest of the Millenials. And, everyone I know, no matter their generation, we start talking religion and politics eventually. I don't know anyone who has it "universally tabboed." I like in the USA, maybe it's different where you live.
You're right. Some parents will probably see no need to knock and enter as they please because they are the parents and they own the house. Sad but true some parents belittle their kids.
If your landlord pays your rent (or you fail to) you can expect they have a reason to enter. It's polite to knock but parents are legally responsible for their children so it's a variable option. The parents decide when it is and isn't necessary.
Interesting about hats. Very traditional. I find fewer men now realize they were supposed to remove hats indoors. Men who bother with more formal hats, usually. But ball caps and such are omnipresent indoors now. It was arbitrary, but a nice gesture of respect to the house or institution. I get that a shopping mall seems not to warrant that, but so it goes.
We always asked before we went into my parents room. But them asking us HAHA, yea we couldn't even close the door because we didn't pay bills to close a door.
If your going to the Philippines, you should always say “po” when talking to someone who is older than you. Example: Grandma: How was your trip? You: It was great po In the Philippines (In Luzon and Mindanao) Saying po is a way in showing respect 😊
I love it when my guests help themselves. So I don't have. And sometimes I forget to ask them if they want to have something to drink. I prefer if they say "can I get myself something to drink?" before they are really thirsty! Thirst is unhealthy.
When entering/leaving a building that doesn't have a sliding door, and someone is close on my tail, I will always hold the door for them and stand aside. If the door is one of those slow closers, sometimes I will just throw it wide and go through, and the door will stay open long enough for the next person to either catch the door or get inside. When I'm walking in a public place, like a grocery store, and someone is next to me going at the same pace, I will always speed up or slow down, because to me it feels weird to walk next to a stranger for an extended period of time.
Struck by the shoe thing. A few decades ago this struck me as a very British or Canadian [or very Japanese] thing to do, not as common in the US. American pop culture, and personal observation, suggested Americans usually wore shoes indoors. Some even thought shoe removal weird and unsanitary. Go figure. I could see it if one brings indoor shoes or even slippers. We sometimes did the latter.
A few of these rules are for the more hoity-toity crowd. I think everyday people can safely ignore what to wear around the house (12), where to sit in the car/opening doors for ladies (6), sneaking food into the theater (part of 5), what to/not to talk about, within reason (1 and 4). Instead, more common rules should be added. Some of these were mentioned by other commenters: ~Please and thank you. Even/especially to waitstaff and other service providers. ~Clean up after yourself. We all share public spaces, so it's a courtesy not to leave your trash lying around. ~Be respectful to everyone. Even if you don't like a person, just be polite. Some add "to your elders", but really this should be to everyone. ~Listen, then speak. You have two ears and one mouth. They should be used in accordance to that ratio. Ever had that person jump into your conversation without really knowing what's being discussed? Don't be that person. ~If you shoot down someone else's idea, have a better alternative. Or at least a good reason. ~Ask for a good time to call/stop by, when possible. People's schedules vary. If someone asks you, and you say "anytime is good", stand by it. Even at 2am. Otherwise give times.
My home is where I am my most comfortable. I only wear my shorts around the house. I do keep pants and a shirt close to the door. I can put these on in a matter of minutes if I need to. However, people should call first before coming over. That way I have time to dress properly.
I just had to say, because I saw this recently, It makes me quite sad when I see and hear those extreme feminists geting upset and yelling at men who are simply trying to be gentlemen. Dear ladys, they're not looking down on you, they're just trying to be nice. I'm sure of it.
Exactly, I highly agree to this. Just because they are bring nice and all doesn't mean they're trying to belittle you or anything. They just have manners and respect
Are there any weird etiquette rules in your country?
Here're really unexpected etiquette rules from different countries ruclips.net/video/BjN7Sp-DwQ4/видео.html
Nobody obey ing the Wi-Fi one
Standing up when someone older than us come
Letting the old people start eating first at meals
Here in Portugal, one calls unfamiliar people eg the shopkeeper or plumber Mr and their name eg Mr David. If the person is female they are called for example Dona Susan. If someone is an engineer ... or a doctor ... you get called the equivalent of mr/ms doctor(or engineer) Miller! A long mouthful !
Light bulb appears in the 10th, 8th and 5th stamps....
“Respect your kids privacy”
Try telling that to Indian parents 😂
and Russian ones 😂
When I tell my mon not to check my messages and then talk about our privacy. She replies me that I'm not big enough to have privacy in my life 😒
Hahaha..kids privacy!! Americans!!! lol... Us Mexican parents rule the house!!! La chancla is a dangerous weapon and el cucuy lol😂😂
GamingWithRith So true. I’m Asian.
Yes Spanish mom will bust open the door like a SWAT team.
Also, hold the door for the person behind you
If someone is walking behind you, hold the door open, don’t just let it slam in their face, its extremely rude
papaya mango IKR
like literally nobody does it any longer it is so annoying and disrespectful
papaya mango or when you go out of your way to hold it open for people and they just walk past and don’t even say thank you
Victoria102395
I tell them, you’re welcome when they don’t.
The exceptions are security doors, and bigots who scream at you not to hold the door for them.
Where are you from? Yeah nice one you gave
This is honestly a good guide for people who never met any other people before.
Do not say "what" when someone is calling you say "yes?" It more respectful.
Semoske I like "yeah, what?" LOL
im used to say "the f"
huh?
Semoske I say “yea?”
Agreed. I was raised to answer as:
Me: Hello?
Them: Hello, this is x, is this y?
Me: Yes, what can I do for you?
"What" just sounds snappish and rude.
I never call people after 9 p.m or before 10 a.m
hiba habiballah 8 am in Germany during the week would be normal but also don't call after 8 if it is not important or you know the person
Sundays that rule is even stricter.
hiba habiballah We'd get along great! Lol. Because I never answer after 9 pm or before 10 am.
Mary Maritimes indeeeeed
wow i thought i was the only one lol 😂
hanging your handbag on the back of a chair is a good way to get it stolen
zencat55 not denying, i thought bout that too
Unless it is at a wedding or family function.
zencat55 😂
Zencat55 are your relatives and friends theifs hahahaha!!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣 👍🏻
If you are with a friend, don't chatter away on the phone with someone else.
So annoying when someone talks on the phone in depth conversation while in company of someone else.
yesss
My ex Bff was at a sleepover at my house and 45 minutes into the sleepover she *Facetimed one of her other friends and talked to her for ONE HOUR* so yeah midwestkatie you are correct.
Patricia Smith Thats very rude of her. But that says about her
Yeah, unless your just saying that your busy and can't talk right now
AVOID NEGATIVE CONVERSATIONS. TALK LESS, LISTEN MORE.
Talk less, smile more. Don't let them know, what you're against or what you're for! :)
Never ask who will be at the party. It sounds like the hostess is not important enough for you to go without knowing who is there
what if you ask because you dont want to meet a specific person at the party?
@@shqipe4801 I would ask the host/hostess, or let them know about the person (if you two are informal)
I have asked this before and it is risky because the people I was trying to avoid were in the same room as the host.
Yeah well I have anxiety so if no one I know is there, sorry the host is not enough for me to come
I always ask. I understand it sounds rude but I have anxiety so I really can't be bothered to come if its all gonna be people i dont know
Please don't tell someone they gained weight or you look tired. It's insulting and insensitive.
Melissa Szarka You gained weight
Or,"You lost a lot of weight (even if they weren't really that obese). They might think," Was i THAT big?" That might be the reality but a still a bit awkward as it could be a backhanded compliment.
I cane into my work place one evening with no makeup and no business clothes on to study. The guy delivering product said
, “omg you look like your dog just died.”
My co-workers never stopped making fun and gossiping about that afterwards. Some things are just better left unsaid.
I wasn’t sure if he was ride to be so blunt or if it was rude of me to come into my coffee shop looking different than I always do.
P.s. I don’t own a dog. I actually had cats that I had to give away 😔
maybe he thought you looked sad & was concerned
Melissa Szarka ..did u just gained weight ...lol
Sorry, pajamas forever in my own home. If I’m expecting someone, I will dress accordingly. If not, I honestly won’t answer the door half the time.
Lizzy Riddle sameew
I agree! It's my own home! Time to relax. If there is no one scheduled to come by I never answer the door. Why would I?
Totally! My home, my rules.
It's bad etiquette if someone wants to tell me what I can or cannot do in my own four walls, especially while I'm alone, I would say.
If you wanted to see me fully dressed you would call or wait till invited. Otherwise dont expect me to be dressed
I side with you..
“Knock before you enter your child’s room” lol tell it to Italian moms 🤣
Indian mom's too😂😂😂
And Greek moms😹😹😹
Vibhuti Songara.... So true
Spanish & Latin moms are NOT having that either.
Caribbean mom too! Ha!
One more etiquette rule that I personaly think is needed is that
To not be on your phone when someone's speaking to you
Polite or not I'm not going to stop sneaking food into the movie theaters because the price there is too expensive
Nicole Carrato finally somebody I agree with in these comments😂
Nicole Carrato There are some movie theaters that allow you to bring in outside food these days.
I agree
I personally dont think this is about being polite so it doesnt belong in this vid. Not saying its ok to break rules- but its not bothering others around you like being loud in theater would be.
True
It’s rude for movie theaters to charge you such outrages prices,
great answer
Actually you would know the reason why they do that. Its cause they have their own difficulties too u know? Even i thought they were rude then i watched this: ruclips.net/video/szOH0ehAkAY/видео.html ; Now i hope u understand my reply
P.S: i do not work in this industry nor am i trying to defend it, thus the above thoughts r sincerely mine.
Sylwester Grega yup i agree with you....
It's not rude, it's criminal
Movie theatres use the money from concession sales to pay the electricity/water/gas bills & the rent, in some cases mortgage, on the building & keeping the building maintained. A percentage also goes to help pay employees & at the large theatre chain I worked for as the general manager, I received a "concession bonus" every quarter (a percentage of the concession sales). Ticket sales go to the movie companies not the cinemas. High concession prices keep the theatres open. Knowing all of this still doesn't help my pocket book when I go see a movie. 😛
Dont talk with your mouth full, close your mouth when chewing, no elbows on the table, remember please and thank you and I cant think of anymore
Okay, my school is primary school, so straight away u can imagine how awful that is with the little kids-
-elbows on the table
-loud talking
-talking with food in ur mouth
-food flying everywhere
-people get more food on the floor than it touches their mouth
And don't burp loudly Infront of others, it's just disrespectful
Don't wear heavy perfume or aftershave to the office or church or doctor's visits. The close contact could cause someone to have an allergic response.
MaryLou Winaught or it just stinks
Taiana True... Unless the person themselves stinks... In that case perfume or cologne is much preferred! 😎
not to mention - YOU STINK- perfume is for getting close - if I can smell you before you come in the room- YOU STINK - not smell EXTRA GOOD
MaryLou Winaught oh, ya!!!
Juliet Townsend true! A lot of people just douse themselves in the stuff and it smells disgusting
When you invite guests and expect them to take their shoes off in your house it is your duty to offer them slippers.
When expecting guests make sure you have basic things like guest towel, soap and toilet paper in the guest bathroom.
It is amazing how many people don't bother with this. And it doesn't cost much and is not hard!
Never be ashamed to say "Thank you ", "sorry" and "please" because they might change the way the other person voews the situation at times...
"Avoid discussing politics, religion, & money" yeah, this is the exact reason people can't have reasonable discussions about politics & religion because we never learned how.
some of the points are a bit silly. who cares to have superficial talks? i rather stay home and talk to my dogs

Or deep conversations.
I can already hear him talk. 🙈😆
One thing about politics and religions: everyone thinks they are right, and won’t change their opinions. So why discuss it with anyone but those interested in a deeper academic discussions anyway? Most people bringing these up are just looking for attention or arguments.
How can you tell someone what to wear in their own house
Matt Iles If you live with others, it's their house, too.
I know. Besides, I don't know about you or anybody else, but its not like I have a stream of foot traffic beating a path to my door every day. I can't recall the last time a neighbor dropped by unannounced or a friend dropped by without calling first. Of course, maybe that's a subtle statement about my personality, or perhaps they're afraid of what state of nakedness I might be in.
but its better to do that
@Marcus Aurelius functional and decent society by instructing strangers on the internet what to wear and what not to wear in the comfort of their own home?
tosser
beats me
The most important of all are missing: say please and thank you. Elders should be treated with respect. Not everyone understands or accepts to be addressed as "guys", Speaking on the phone loudly when in public: in a queue, at a cashier, at a stand.
Good additions.
Never talk on the phone when on public transportation.
I do not understand people who get upset over "guys". My perspective is they over the top sensitive and take things far too personally. Maybe someone can explain why they dislike it.
Not elders should be treated with respect, (it's not a special achievement to get old) but you should treat everybody with respect, even a child.
With all due respect, maybe you need to say ""please" more often. It is always better to be polite.
When you go out to eat with relatives, friends, colleagues or even alone
1. order polite what you want
2. shut off your phone
3. make nice conversation
4. let tip for waiter
5. make from going out a pleasant event
6. smile
7. be polite
Tipping is optional
1.never visit without invitation

Respect your elders by their behaviour not by their age or by how much knowledge they have.
😄
Very true. Respect is earned not taken.
...it is always kind to...show the exemple ;)
So True 🏆🏆📌📌📌
Yes. My mother is very disrespectful and I make a conscious decision to not disrespect her back, but I keep my distance.
Not to seat beside the driver's seat? I was told thr opporsite. Its rude to ride at the back and keep the front/side seat empty if the one driving is not a hired driver. If you do, its as if treating the person your driver.
As an avid driver, the first seat I'd expect anybody to get in is the passenger seat. If I have 2 friends riding with me, one gets in the passenger, the other chooses any seat in the 2nd row. Keep in mind that it's easier to glance backwards at them for a bit of friendly eye contact if we are all having a bit of a conversation. Then the if the 2nd row is filled, people then file into the 3rd row. But this is never really the case
It depends on in which culture you were rised and on where are you from
Same here...

Respect your kids privacy... Hmmm.
My mom once said “my house, my business”
That's sad. She's very condescending and insecure
Parents teach their children how to guard their own / respect othet's boundaries by showing example.
But when you have to do your chores
Would she barge in on a house guest? Probably not. Why give more respect to a house guest than your own child? It clearly said in an emergency it’s understandable, but just everyday is a little abrasive. What if the child is changing clothes?
very true
Do not leave your handbag on the back of your chair if you value what is in it.
That's what I wanted to say, but I didn't want to repeat it if someone had already said it. Thanks!
Not the floor either. Floor is filthy- then you go home and put that purse on your own couch or counter- no thanks.
Joey G yup
I can't believe the size and weight of some women's handbags. Can take up the whole table & give them lopsided posture. Your huge handbag is not my problem.
lol
so true
You can wear whatever you want at home
Jan J If only
It's just not a very good idea to wear your pyjamas all day
Jixie Dye umm why not!?! I live in my pyjamas
@@michellepenk1334 guess that's just you, but for me I feel gross and disgusting if I've been in my pyjamas all day.
Not if you expect any visit. Also wearing your pyjamas all day usually makes you a proscastinator.
A. You don't have to remove your shoes unless it's a household that does that. You don't just take off your shoes no matter what in people's houses. That's rude.
B. In my house I'll wear what I want. If people stop by unannounced they can wait for me to change OR I might not answer the door.
Anudawn THANK YOU
I agree i dont want to smell anyines feet...lol
Your A is not correct
Your B is perfect
For some reason most people allow their hotel room doors to slam shut behind them. I've been woken up many times over the years because of this. What I do is turn the handle and quietly close the door when I'm going into my room. If I'm leaving my room I'll insert the keycard into the door locking mechanism, turn the handle and quietly close the door. It's not rocket science.
Good one.
I think it just shuts loudly on its own unless you stop it-which is rude of course.
Never mix 2 hypergolics at ambient temperature with atmospheric pressure more than 15 psi....just saying...its not rocket science...its common sense...
I think the whole “scooting past people in aisles” part is incorrect, just because it goes entirely against everything I was formally taught at art school for seven years. Every year at my middle and high school, we were reminded of correct theatre etiquette. The correct way to pass through a row of seated people is to have your backside towards them. Also, the people seated are not to stand, but to angle their legs in the direction the person is headed. It creates the least amount of disturbance during performances and is a lot more effective than one might think.
It is easier to walk pass the seated than trying to struggle to walk facing them, somehow it is more difficult.
You shouldn't be coming in after the performance has started in the first place.
@@gisawslonim9716 Have you ever had to use the restroom?
Agreed, if I am seated I do not want someone facing me as they squeeze through.
Ur talking about a theatre. Where u literally expecting this rule to apply in this situation? Did u honestly think it makes sense for the entire row of seated ppl to stand up, walk to the isle to let ppl in (only to get their seat stolen) and then all go back into the row to sit. I feel like common sense should prevail here.
being polite and being a kind gentleman by saying please and thank you, asking to do something, always introduce yourself first when talking to someone, and staying calm and keeping a smile in public even if you are having the worst day of your life these are the everyday rules I follow when I'm out of the house
My grandma taught me most of these and I never thought id actually appreciate it until i got older
I agree with shoes because it can get the house uncleaned too.
Or don't answer the door, at all. My home. I'll dress how I want and I don't have to answer the door if someone stops by unannounced. No hiding. No sneaking around. I'll be free and still won't answer.
Fancy Me Exactly!! Thank You!!
My home, my castle, my rules😂
I agree.
But it's rude you know. Some people care about not hurting feelings. Not like you.
+Akshita Panwar what's rude is popping up at someone's home unannounced and not taking their feelings into consideration. That's selfish and tacky.
I let my cell phone off during the class or some similar event, I always walk on the right to keep order, I walk some meters from someone talking on the phone (I don't wanna listen to it, for me it's lack of respect), I avoid being so close to people in crowded places and I never touch someone I am talking to. And I always use the magic words.
Phone etiquette, when leaving a voicemail give your name and number most importantly at the beginning of the call. That way the receiver doesn't have to listen to the full message again to bring it back up.
When invited at a restaurant, don't order the most expensive item on the menu, better wait till your host order first then you know the limits.
13 accesories? I find 4 going overboard..
I like the purse hook idea! I ran in to this problem last night at a restaurant and just put my beautiful purse on the floor lol. Not anymore!
Thank you, thank you! These good manners videos is what need to be seen and learned. I too often feel like I had the only mom that cared to instill her children with good manners and proper etiquette.
God bless you!😇
Leaving your umbrella open to dry is considered rude?? I never knew that. On rainy school days, pretty much every single classmate of mine leaves their umbrella open to dry on the floor, usually in the back of the class. If there's a lot of umbrellas, which there usually are, they go all the way from the back of the class to right in front of the board.
Sometimes it's annoying when you try to get up from your seat and trip over some guy's umbrella, but I never knew it was considered rude. Even our teachers do it when they enter the classroom.
something that i follow pretty much everywhere is to stay quiet and have your eyes on the person talking. do not take your eyes off of them unless you’re writing something down they may have said. you tend to be a better listener and it shows the person speaking that you are interested in what they are saying and it’s just very respectful in general
i mostly follow this in school, and it’s crazy how many people don’t have simple respect for the speaker
13 accessories? Who wears more than that at once?
two words: decora style
ADerpyReality my mom
OIKANTIKA yeah I know 😂😂
Maybe bright side wore 😂😂😂😂
Only Johnny Depp can pull it off
Never put your purse on the floor
shanellsplace then don't carry a purse so big you don't know what to do with it
midwestkatie the size of the purse has nothing to do with my reply and I don't carry large purses.
shanellsplace yes, it does. You can lean against a smaller purse, hold in lap, sling over shoulder, use a booth. Many ppl don't want to eat with someone's dirty purse taking up table space. Yuck.
midwestkatie MY REPLY has NOTHING TO DO WITH THE SIZE OF THE PURSE.
in several countries it's considered to bring bad luck if you put your purse on the floor, becaue then "the money will run away"

Manners?
@@TeaxTea5 manners say thou shalt not be an unexpected guest
Public and polite discussion of religion and politics are foundational to good culture. The frequent, polite, exchange of ideas allows people to consistently examine their beliefs, and to find like minded individuals, and build stronger communities. Cultures begin to crumble when outliers shout down such necessary polite exchanges.
Thank you.
Never discuss religion and politics, with anyone; friend, foe, or stranger. Reason: Too touchy and sensitive.
Actually in Europe we consider it somewhat strange when people stand facing the exit of the lift. It's more common to stand facing the middle of the lift in most of the situations. I think it makes no difference really, we just tend to stare at the ground instead making eye contact, but it's just the way it is here.
Kudos on the elevator behaviour. A dying art.
all the etiquette rules seem pretty much common sense, which seems to be lacking in today's society. I enjoyed the 9 secrets to keep to yourself.
Me too!
Never put a bag on the floor. A lady wouldn't do that.
true!
It has been said, many times over, "Had we learned how to talk about 'religion and politics civilly, as a matter of course, 'our world would NOT be in the condition it is in," 'therefore, for the sake of the present, future, and posterity, I disagree with this adage, not to talk politics and religion. I say, 'talk, talk, talk!
an nami Just don't lecture!
I agree. People should learn to talk about it in respectful and open matter. Not hush hush hush and then vote extremists....
I was born in a communist country, but i was a child when the cold war ended. For long time I thought that "don't talk about politics" was just a rule we had on the wrong side of iron curtain, not to get arrested....
I'd like to agree and have done that for many years but would never bring up such subjects first. Even less so now, since I don't want to encourage an approach that means forbidding conflict outright. Conflict and argument are natural and good and I'd prefer a model in which there are no-go areas for those things, and elsewhere they are allowed full flight, than one in which conflict is disallowed just so we can let the subjects intrude everywhere in life. Then again, I might just be sick of coworkers' daily views on the politics of a neighbouring, foreign country. The workplace was also once a forbidden zone for such things.
an nami I agree, these things should be talked more. However, many times these conversations can take a personal tone which may lead to people discussing their biased opinions and thoughts and could create the perfect climate for a fight over disagreements.
These apply to family too. My family always coming over without warning and getting into my fridge and walk for my wifi. Or when I invite them over for dinner they have their face in their phone the entire time.
"Don't talk about anything personal at the office." I knew there was a reason why I don't work.
I believe I was taught of all of these things when I was little, and RUclips recommended me this video just as a reminder that trying to change the way you are just to fit in is not the best thing to do. :)
9:03 so you're basically telling us not to talk. 😂
speak* "talk" is improper in that sentence. You're welcome.
Respect kids privacy lol
Dad says

#3, Work time is for WORKING,,,WOW, what a concept,,too bad more people don't do such.
“Don’t sneak food into the theater. Take the high road.” ...I’m still sneaking food 😂
Thank you for the info. :) In some countries, placing the bag on the floor means that you will not be prosperous anymore... and, in general, we don.t place any personal item directly on the floor. :)
If I receive a gift, I write a Thank You note and mail it, the old-fashioned way. Similarly, if I go to a function or attend an event like dining in a restaurant and then seeing a movie with a friend, I make sure to send a short note to my companion a few days later. I usually tell them what a good time I had, thank them for their attendance and mention a repeat outing would be agreeable in the future.
This is so simple yet so important 💯❤️
Also, I don't find anything wrong in chatting with my close buddies about family problems or love affairs! If our besties can help us in our daily life problems, what's bad in that! Sometimes friends are capable of doing things which family members cannot!
The worst is morning elevator or subway when you're short. Suffocating in deodorant, cologne (you can tell the diff between cologne (alcohol) and perfume), hair spray/mousse, makeup (yes it smells, esp cheap stuff),body/hand lotion, after shave, breath mints, coffee - all combining together...it is terrible. Good way to start the day with a head ache. Who needs to be so smelly at work?
My parents don't knock on my door before entering but I do knock before entering their room... I've explained many times to them that I need privacy but they still barge in 😕
Always lock your doors
Apologising for being late for meetings or for your meals is one etiquette to consider.
When I first went into nursing we were not allowed to wear earrings at all including studs in case they fell out and went into an open wound and especially not in theaters, I've noticed a lot do now, and only wedding rings are allowed but I've noticed a lot of nurses wearing rings as well.
I have a serious issue with people just stopping by without calling. And those who know me respect that. Also, if I want to wear comfy pj pants a T-shirt and don’t plant on guest or plans on leaving the house I’m gonna wear a clean pair after my shower
In many countries people do not call before visiting, they randomly appear. It's just how it is.
Good posture, clear speech and no interruption whatsoever.
Always say please and thank you when appropriate.
When visiting someone in hospital, try not to stay too long. People who are ill tire quickly.
Use your indoor voice when in a restaurant. Other people are paying for the privilege to sit there and enjoy the ambiance as well as you.
In that vein, please do not allow your children to have the run of the restaurant. Others may not appreciate sticky little hands on their clothes. If your baby is crying, go to the ladies or mens room with him/her, or take the child out to your car for some time out.
I think this "ettiquite" just stems from kindness in these heavily contextual areas. I don't agree with the topics of conversation. People should be vulnerable enough with one another to talk about whatever they want to. The ettiquite behind it should be: change the subject if you sense someone's discomfort.
Only talk about personal things with people you're very familiar with. If you're only acquaintances or coworkers and what to keep it that way, then don't talk about these things. Be cordial. Otherwise, those 9 secrets things are mostly fair game.
A very interesting video, some etiquettes that I follow, apart from these are,
When you bowwor a book, cover it and always return on time.
When you borrow someone's car, always clean & refuel it before returning.
Other etiquette rules...
1. Use appropriate language in public (no swearing)
2. Use the proper greeting when answering the phone at work (Use your company's and department's name, and ask how can you assist)
3. Wash your hands before leaving the restroom, especially because of the next rule.
4. When shaking hands, do not squeeze the other person's hand too hard. A nice firm handshake will suffice.
I think the "how much did it cost"" is only exeptable if u are friends and they are looking to by it
Etiquette is when you make your guests feel at home when you wish they were.
if u r looking to my cmt..... i want to tell something
smile and enjoy your life because yesterday has gone and tommorow may never come!!
have a nice day...
Anubhav Pancha , so sweet of you! Thank you and same to you! Have a great day ahead!
thanks for saying that because yesterday at my middle school I had a horrible day but I kept smiling but I still was mad inside but thanks that really helps what you said and I hope you have a great rest of your life
Anubhav Pancha thank you so much have a lovely day
thanks you too
amber capps So young to have learned a great life lesson! When someone is angry, and spreads that anger around, the world is a sadder place. Better to smile and look for a positive resolution to a problem. And forgive. Hard sometimes, but forgiveness is like cleaning out your heart of dirty residue. Doesn't mean you have to like the person. Does mean you give yourself the power to move on at peace, instead of giving them the power to control your heart. You are going to have a good life, young wise one!
Just my opinion, but whenever going to a formal event, switch out to a smaller purse. Only bring the essentials (keys, wallet, phone, and maybe some lipstick or small cosmetic items. If you know you likely will not need it, don’t bring it with you).
Secondly, if people are sleeping in the house, always twist the handle when going to close a door. Twist it all the way before opening or closing it; the idea is to make as little noise as possible. Same rules apply to places like classrooms, libraries, or other quiet environments.
When making a hot beverage, always offer to make one for someone else. Never just make hot tea or coffee without offering it to anyone.
Make eye contact with speaking; even if you are not interested in the conversation, by making eye contact you show that you care about what they have to say.
No elbows on the table, hands should be either in your lap or neatly folded in front of you. Has to do with posture.
Smile often; smiling is contagious, and it makes you more approachable. It doesn’t have to be a big, goofy grin, just a content, natural, relaxed smile or expression. In other words, avoid “resting b*** face”
There are some useful rules you talk about, but your advice on what topics we CAN talk about is actually the best advice on how to become the most boring person in the world!
Another example of the culture raising a generation. My parents taught me this stuff, not RUclips.
They also taught me there is a time and place to discuss more intimate things like religion, politics. It was never universally tabooed!
I'm 37, the oldest of the Millenials. And, everyone I know, no matter their generation, we start talking religion and politics eventually. I don't know anyone who has it "universally tabboed." I like in the USA, maybe it's different where you live.
#11 - Ha I wish!!! My mother didn't understand the idea of knocking on my door as a child.
You're right. Some parents will probably see no need to knock and enter as they please because they are the parents and they own the house. Sad but true some parents belittle their kids.
Imagine your landlord would enter your apartment without permission, because he is the owner of the house.
If your landlord pays your rent (or you fail to) you can expect they have a reason to enter. It's polite to knock but parents are legally responsible for their children so it's a variable option. The parents decide when it is and isn't necessary.
Be aware of personal space (standing too close, parking too close, etc) ...which really bugged me moving from NY to Texas!
Interesting about hats. Very traditional. I find fewer men now realize they were supposed to remove hats indoors. Men who bother with more formal hats, usually. But ball caps and such are omnipresent indoors now. It was arbitrary, but a nice gesture of respect to the house or institution. I get that a shopping mall seems not to warrant that, but so it goes.
I always follow shuttle etiquette twice a week on my work routes, because it’s important that I don’t injure the person who asks for a 💺 next to me.
We always asked before we went into my parents room. But them asking us HAHA, yea we couldn't even close the door because we didn't pay bills to close a door.
If your going to the Philippines, you should always say “po” when talking to someone who is older than you.
Example:
Grandma: How was your trip?
You: It was great po
In the Philippines (In Luzon and Mindanao) Saying po is a way in showing respect 😊
people who open your fridge 😤😤😤
I love it when my guests help themselves. So I don't have. And sometimes I forget to ask them if they want to have something to drink. I prefer if they say "can I get myself something to drink?" before they are really thirsty! Thirst is unhealthy.

Mister Mister you mean $11?

Propaganda from big movie lol
This is called manners not rules
I learned all of this growing up and in etiquette classes they were a pain in the arse
When entering/leaving a building that doesn't have a sliding door, and someone is close on my tail, I will always hold the door for them and stand aside. If the door is one of those slow closers, sometimes I will just throw it wide and go through, and the door will stay open long enough for the next person to either catch the door or get inside.
When I'm walking in a public place, like a grocery store, and someone is next to me going at the same pace, I will always speed up or slow down, because to me it feels weird to walk next to a stranger for an extended period of time.
We doesn't have kids privacy in our country 😩😩
Same in India as well
When someone asks me how much something costs, I wiggle my fingers and say ‘five finger discount’ implying I stole it,
Struck by the shoe thing. A few decades ago this struck me as a very British or Canadian [or very Japanese] thing to do, not as common in the US. American pop culture, and personal observation, suggested Americans usually wore shoes indoors. Some even thought shoe removal weird and unsanitary. Go figure. I could see it if one brings indoor shoes or even slippers. We sometimes did the latter.
A few of these rules are for the more hoity-toity crowd. I think everyday people can safely ignore what to wear around the house (12), where to sit in the car/opening doors for ladies (6), sneaking food into the theater (part of 5), what to/not to talk about, within reason (1 and 4).
Instead, more common rules should be added. Some of these were mentioned by other commenters:
~Please and thank you. Even/especially to waitstaff and other service providers.
~Clean up after yourself. We all share public spaces, so it's a courtesy not to leave your trash lying around.
~Be respectful to everyone. Even if you don't like a person, just be polite. Some add "to your elders", but really this should be to everyone.
~Listen, then speak. You have two ears and one mouth. They should be used in accordance to that ratio. Ever had that person jump into your conversation without really knowing what's being discussed? Don't be that person.
~If you shoot down someone else's idea, have a better alternative. Or at least a good reason.
~Ask for a good time to call/stop by, when possible. People's schedules vary. If someone asks you, and you say "anytime is good", stand by it. Even at 2am. Otherwise give times.
I will ALWAYS bring my own treats to the movies!
Never chew loudly in a public because some people are really feeling nervous
My home is where I am my most comfortable. I only wear my shorts around the house. I do keep pants and a shirt close to the door. I can put these on in a matter of minutes if I need to. However, people should call first before coming over. That way I have time to dress properly.
I just had to say, because I saw this recently, It makes me quite sad when I see and hear those extreme feminists geting upset and yelling at men who are simply trying to be gentlemen. Dear ladys, they're not looking down on you, they're just trying to be nice. I'm sure of it.
Exactly, I highly agree to this. Just because they are bring nice and all doesn't mean they're trying to belittle you or anything. They just have manners and respect
