21 ETIQUETTE to take note of
1. Don’t call someone more
than twice continuously. If they don’t pick up your call, presume they have
something important to attend to;
2. Return money that you have
borrowed even before the other person remembers asking for it from you. It
shows your integrity and character. Same goes with umbrellas, pens and lunch
boxes;
3. Never order the expensive
dish on the menu when someone is giving you a lunch/dinner. If possible ask
them to order their choice of food for you;
4. Don’t ask awkward
questions like ‘Oh so you aren’t married yet?’ Or ‘Don’t you have kids’ or ‘Why
didn’t you buy a house?’ Or why don't you buy a car? For God’s sake it isn’t
your problem;
5. Always open the door for
the person coming behind you. It doesn’t matter if it is a guy or a girl,
senior or junior. You don’t grow small by treating someone well in public;
6. If you take a taxi with a
friend and he/she pays now, try paying next time;
7. Respect different shades
of opinions. Remember what's 6 to you will appear 9 to someone facing you.
Besides, second opinion is good for an alternative;
8. Never interrupt people
talking. Allow them to pour it out. As they say, hear them all and filter them
all;
9. If you tease someone and
they don’t seem to enjoy it, stop it and never do it again. It encourages one
to do more and it shows how appreciative you are
10. Say “thank you” when
someone is helping you.
11. Praise publicly.
Criticize privately;
12. There’s almost never a
reason to comment on someone’s weight. Just say, “You look fantastic.” If they
want to talk about losing weight, they will;
13. When someone shows you a
photo on their phone, don’t swipe left or right. You never know what’s next;
14. If a colleague tells you
they have a doctors' appointment, don’t ask what it’s for, and just say "I
hope you’re okay". Don’t put them in the uncomfortable position of having
to tell you their personal illness. If they want you to know, they'll do so
without your inquisitiveness;
15. Treat the cleaner with
the same respect as the CEO. Nobody is impressed at how rude you can treat
someone below you but people will notice if you treat them with respect;
16. If a person is speaking
directly to you, staring at your phone is rude;
17. Never give advice until
you’re asked;
18. When meeting someone
after a long time, unless they want to talk about it, don’t ask them their age
and salary;
19. Mind your business unless
anything involves you directly - just stay out of it;
20. Remove your sunglasses if
you are talking to anyone in the street. It is a sign of respect. Mores, eye
contact is as important as your speech; and
21. Never talk about your
riches in the midst of the poor. Similarly, don't talk about your children in
the midst of the barren...or talk about your spouse’s around those who don't
have.
