People Shouldn’t Ignore The 25 Etiquette-Rules That Still Apply

We use etiquette as a term to explain when we want to behave amazingly on every occasion. The rules of etiquette include proper speech, neat appearance, common courtesy, as well as emotional control.

And, nowadays, it seems like many people forget about good manners, so below is a list of 25 rules we should remember.

1. Remember, when someone invites you by saying “I invite you,” it means that the person is the one who pays the bill. But, if someone says “Do you want to go to dinner,” that means that every individual pays their own check. A woman must agree to get her to check paid if a man offers.

2. You must call before you decide to visit someone. A British lady did not like uninvited guests, so whenever someone showed in front of her door, she would put her shoes on, take her hat and umbrella, and she would say “What a pity, I was just on my way out.”

But, if the lady liked the individual, she would say “Oh, I just got home.”

3. When you are out, you should never put your cellphone on the table. If you do this, you show how much you need this device, or just how bored you feel.

4. If you are on a date with a girl, you should not spend the time texting with someone else during the time you are with her.

5. A man may take a woman’s coat to the clothes closet while holding her handbag.

6. When you are walking with someone, and the person you are with greets someone you do not know, you should greet them as well.

7. Even though many people believe that we should eat sushi with chopsticks, men can consume it with their hands.
