19 unspoken rules of life unless you went on to become a teacher chances are
you don't use a lot of what you learned throughout elementary and high school in
your everyday life while cursive may be visually pleasing there are some life
pointers we should have been taught instead we all hopefully strive to be
better people every day and while there are several unwritten rules on how to do
so there are enough people breaking them so listing them all in a video it never
hurts but before we begin you should click the subscribe button and hit the
notification bell too just to be polite anyway here's some unwritten modern
etiquette rules that everyone should be following in their day-to-day life to
display excellence of manners and social conduct
number one wearing headphones always wear headphones when watching or
listening to anything on your phone in public there's nothing worse than being
forced to listen to someone else's snapchat stories while out and about if
you forgot your headphones at home wait until you get back home to let your
phone speaker's vibrate number two listen to people in real life focus your
attention on the people you're with not the people contacting you on your phone
sure there are emergency exceptions but if someone is texting you just to chat
wait till you're alone always being on your phone will make you look worse to
the people you're with compared to the person on the other end of the phone
number three don't forget to reply especially when someone invites you to
something like a house party or a barbecue RSVP to an event as soon as you
know whether or not you can make it it's rude to keep the host waiting and not
RSVP'ing at all is not the same thing as declining there doesn't have to be some
elaborate excuse as to why you can't make something just
you have a simple yes-or-no answer number four watch your order if someone
else is paying for your meal be reasonable with your order being treated
to a meal is a lovely gesture but it will definitely be the last time if you
start ordering the menus top to your items you should also still offer to pay
even if you know you are being treated just out of common courtesy number five
watch your phone while ordering get off your phone while ordering food or drinks
it takes two seconds to make your order and no one is so busy that they can't
hang up the phone for this small fraction of time it's rude to the person
who is serving you and it can make them feel awkward if they have any follow-up
questions number six asking for friends always ask if you can
invite someone to someone else's clan whether it's a party or just a night out
at the movies ask the person who made the plans if you can bring someone
springing a new person on someone when they were expecting to hang out with
just you can really offset the mood number 7
tip your server always have a tip in your budget when going out to eat while
the system might suck we know those servers have to get those tips in order
to survive if you can't afford to tip your server get fast food instead this
means you to mr. pink number eight live in the moment don't film the entire
duration of a concert phone screens plugging a concert crowd is almost as
bad as phone screens during a movie sure take a picture or a brief video clip but
don't take minute long videos it's distracting to others and also when are
you ever going to watch this footage why not experience it with your eyes first
hand number nine turn off the phone at dinner
keep your phone off the dinner table you should already know that you shouldn't
be using your phone while up to dinner but keeping it on the table is just
bad it shows the person that you're with that you're waiting for something
potentially more important bathroom checks are fine but chances are you've
missed nothing number 10 wipe your stinky sweat wipe down gym
equipment after using it gym rats pay attention you should always clean the
gym equipment you just used after a session chances are you're happy to use
a clean one so be a good person and make sure that happens
for the next user number 11 bring a gift wine is best always show up with
something to a dinner party despite if the host tells you to just bring
yourself you should really bring something even if it's just a bottle of
wine a gift will never go unnoticed and will likely guarantee you an invite back
number 12 keep it cool don't make people feel
lesser for their personal tastes you may hate everything about some new show your
friend is raving about but that's just your opinion and neither one of you is
right or wrong you can say that something is just not for me but don't
make someone feel silly for liking something that interests them number 13
keep it short keep your story short and sweet and don't use them to one-up
someone elses everyone loves to tell and hear stories but unless they ask for
every detail the Cliff Notes version is fine and usually much preferable also
never use a story to trump one that someone just told number 14 don't be a
keyboard warrior never say something on the internet that you would never say in
person it may seem like there's no consequences behind your computer screen
but the emotional effects to the recipient are still the same as in
person number 15 don't stand next to other guys
when you pee this one is definitely unspoken but important nevertheless try
to leave a journals worth of space between yourself and anyone at a urinal
next to you if you have no choice and that includes stalls then fine take the
middle journal but no talking it's a sacred moment keep to yourself and move
on with your day after number 16 don't talk to people with headphones even if
you know them from high school even if you haven't seen them in a while if they
look up at you with their headphones in and don't take them out they don't want
to talk just leave them alone heck throw in your headphones speaking of which
number 17 if you don't want to talk look at your phone we've talked about not
staring at your phone a lot in this video but this is a good way to let
people know that the conversation is over just look at your phone and start
using one-word replies this is a rule especially for cab and uber drivers if
we get into your vehicle say hi then immediately look at our phones we don't
want to talk we know it sounds harsh but newsflash the world is harsh just take
us to our destination and let us be on our way
number 18 put your feet down whether you're on the bus an airplane and
interdimensional spacecraft whatever we don't want to see your feet taking up
more space than on the ground this goes for your bags or purses too we know they
contain a lot of important stuff but we don't want to stand for a 20 minute bus
ride just so your bag doesn't get dirty number 19 put things back when you go to
a store and no longer want those $50 cuts of meat you just bought then put
them back where you found it this would make the lives of both the employees of
the grocery store and the other people who might like to buy that product much
easier we know it might not be exactly convenient but it's a common courtesy
