Your parents. Your parents are expected to teach you these.
- How is this a guide for adults?? I knew most of these before I became an adult.
- These ought to be taught by parents and other adults which are important in the child’s life, and backed up by demonstrations by example. Parents have a duty to demonstrate correct behaviours themselves, and reinforce those behaviours in their children.
- The shopping cart one ought to be extended to “if you pick something up in the store and don’t want it, put it back where you got it from”. I see far too much perishable frozen/refrigerated goods stuffed elsewhere on a shelf and dethawing to unsaleability because people changed their minds and couldn’t be arsed to put it back where it came from.
- For the “cover your mouth” one - please, for the love of Pete, learn the difference between a cough and a clearing of the throat. They are not the same damn thing.
I never knew the let people exit first because I never lived anywhere with public transit. It’s obvious if someone brings any attention to it but in my head getting on the subway the first few times I was like “why are people running into me what is happening” lol
You cover your mouth with your hand when you cough, but you don’t cover your ass when you fart. Curious.
Unless you’re naked; your ass is already covered.
You assume a lot about both my anatomy and my clothing choices
I blows my mind how many adults don’t know this. The way I was raised, I’d be embarrassed to get in someone’s way as they tried to exit an elevator. But I was also taught that common decency is a good thing and we’ve clearly given up on that.
How else can I crop dust if I can’t leave first? Did no one teach them how to crop dust?
But I was also taught that common decency is a good thing
Funny, I never saw it as a decency thing, more utilitarian. It’s a waste of effort to try to cram myself into an already occupied box (unless there are occupants staying in the box, of course).
It’s wild when I see people just shove onto an elevator like my dude. The hell. Why. And they get mad when we’re all annoyed at them!
At an airport there was a long wait and elevator was packed. My father in law and kids all got in, and now it’s full then it goes to next floor and more people cram in. Now it is over stuffed. Goes to another floor and my father-in-law was fed up, when the doors opened he shoved the front people out and said this is where you get off and hit door close. They were saying “hey this isn’t my floor”.
Poor etiquette on both sides but still makes me laugh.
Same with trains. Nobody in my city seems to get that. I just barge my way through them crowded at the entrance if I’m getting out
eye contact
No thank you
Fuck AI alop.
Are you claiming this posted content to be AI generated or that we should ‘Fuck AI slop’ as a etiquette?
Both, I guess.I can see the yellow background and thick black lines, which are usually the signs of a generated image. Edit: Also the money in the tip jar looks like some unholy amalgamation of coins and bills.
Half of the tips overlap with each other too
Don’t look in my eyes. Fuck that don’t even look at me if you can help it and I’ll return the favor
A smile is enough. A smile while talking transfers a smile to the voice (a trick I learned in the phone mines) . Eye contact is great but you don’t have to have it.
To hell with your tipping culture
Yeah this makes it seem US flavored.
Lot of people here saying they disagree with the tipping one. But you must surely admit that it is everyday etiquette in Canada. This guide is not for what’s ethical – after all, it is ethical to harangue somebody about their unethical dietary decisions – it’s to teach you what to do so that you fit in to this society better.
Where does this guide state anything about Canada ? In Northern Europe its seen as an insult to tip your waiter. Just pay your workers a living wage instead of hoping for the customers gratitude.
Hot damn, i just saw what Lemmy instance I’m on. I’ll let my comment stay just to add to the discussion, but I was wrong and are sorry for the misunderstanding.
You missed one: don’t use ai to generate images.
He missed a few more as well.
- don’t command people what to do, instead ask them politely
- don’t yuck other people’s yum
I think as far as etiquette goes, I would say: don’t paste me unfiltered AI output. If it’s not worth your effort to at least summarize that wall of slop, it’s not worth my effort to read it.
Just report and block the guy
Please don’t cover your mouth when you cough with your hands. Please don’t.
Just to clarify, the suggestion here is to use the crook of your elbow.
No use your neighbors butt cheeks. Play them like the tuba
Well, I’m now officially unsubscribed from “I’ll try anything once.”
Like Dracula!
Bela Lugosi
I mean it was a better solution than coughing openly into a group you are talking to, assuming you’d wash your hands afterward; but being in a men’s bathroom, guys using the urinal or bowl just walk out without washing hands, so there is that.
Coughing with your hands? Haha.
I think your comment could do with a tweak.
“When you cough, please don’t cover your mouth with your hands. Please don’t.”
-or-
“Please don’t cover your mouth, when you cough, with your hands. Please don’t.”
When a lot of today’s parents fail to teach their kids all these things… But to. Hell with the tipping
Hold the door if someone is right behind you.
Unless you’re entering a secure location, in which case don’t.
My work place has to keep sending out emails to remind everyone to not hold the door open for people tailing them.
That’s… most unfortunate. I’ve yet to work in any place where that wouldn’t have been grounds for immediate dismissal.
Big fat no on the tipping. Tipping should be outlawed altogether, start paying your employees a decent wage instead!
Also do comment on people’s food choices as long as it is positive. “That looks awesome, I would LOVE some >insert nice food here< for myself next time!” I would maybe change that one to just “Don’t criticize people for their decisions that do not affect you” or something like that
No virtue signalling intended but I’m happy to say that I do all the rest of these things, are those things not normal to do anyway?
I live in a country where tipping isn’t a thing, and nobody here wants it to be a thing. And American tourists come over and can’t comprehend not tipping so they tip anyway because they think we’re just being mean to each other and that we all want tipping to be a thing.
