Social etiquettes we could use a re-fresh on

[Smith22]

Take your hat off indoors, especially at a dining facility.

I agree with most of these, but I never understood why wearing a hat indoors is considered to be disrespectful.

Sure, it doesn't make sense wearing one to an upscale dinner or something, but visiting friends, an aquarium, museum, etc. I don't get it.

Same reason picking your nose or butt in front of others is disrespectful. Societal mores.

If there are signs posted politely asking you to remove your top in the DFAC but you don't, then it is disrespectful.

I am personally more bothered by people showing up to funerals wearing dirty work clothes, shorts, tank tops, etc.

I get you may have some time constraints, but show some respect for the dead and their loved ones.

If I remember correctly, it has to do with a certain entity being able to see your eyes. I always thought that was idiotic. I mean, if you think he can see through the roof, why would your hat cause him problems?

Wrap your gum up and throw it in the trash. Don't spit it into the urinal, or on the ground.

When I was in Kuala Lumpur......you weren't supposed to chew gum outside.

 

[Bigdog]

Use your blinker to let others know your intentions.

Especially in a roundabout

Don't be rude to your waitress. She handling your food.

 

[Reverend Conehead]

Honor your promises. If you said you would do something, do it. Don't come up with some lame excuse not to.

Showing up to a house party/dinner empty handed.

What is the proper etiquette when picking up a take-out order? If you call in an order, and drive down to pick it up yourself, do you throw in the same tip you would have given the person who waited on you had you eaten in the establishment?

Tips are not needed on take-out orders that you pick up yourself. For restaurants, you need to tip if 1) you sit in the restaurant and are served by a waiter/waitress or 2) the restaurant (or 3rd-party service) delivers it to you. When you phone in and pick it up yourself, the tip is not necessary, though you can do one if you want to.

I just throw a buck or two in the jar.

I do the same usually all the dollar bills I have but no more than 4 bucks

 

[DasTex]

Respect Law Enforcement.

 

[Runwildboys]

Respect Law Enforcement.

Yes and no.

 

[JoeKing]

Don’t point out other people’s flaws

Then how will they know? Letting them unwittingly carry on without being aware of the flaw is worse. They can't correct it if they don't know about it. I bet you're the type that sees someone else's flaw and you say nothing while getting your inner giggle on.

 

[JoeKing]

Name calling, such as calling people haters, is rude and the dwelling place of small thinkers and should be avoided in favor of being well mannered.

Even worse are the haters that can't stand being called out for it. Sensitive babies just hate even more.

 

[JoeKing]

Don't flatulate out loud while in church.

What if the choir is singing and no one hears it? God made us this way. You can die if you don't fart.
