The behavior of a person in society, that is, in public, has always depended on many conditions, regulated by generally accepted rules, ideas about what is permissible and what is not. These rules varied significantly among different nations, and they also changed over time.
Instruction manual
1
Be sure to politely greet you when meeting with everyone you know, and in some circumstances, such as visiting, at a production meeting, in a train compartment, and with strangers. At the same time, remember that a familiar tone like: "Hello", "Salute" is permissible only when referring to friends or good acquaintances.
2
If you were invited to visit, try not to be late. If, for some good reason (for example, traffic jam), being late is inevitable, be sure to call, apologize to the owner or hostess, and briefly explain why you are late. Entering the house where you were invited, we must once again politely apologize to all those gathered for being late.
3
Accordingly, the owners (as well as guests) should not blame the late guest, even in a joking manner, and even more so - demand a drink of the "penalty". This is not the best custom, and hardly need to be followed.
4
Try to politely communicate with everyone, without exception, even if a person is somehow unpleasant to you. In no case do not demonstrate your superiority, neglect of subordinates, service personnel in hotels, sellers in shops, etc. You do not humiliate them — you humiliate yourself.
5
In the case when two people approach the door on both sides at the same time, the rule applies: the one who wants to go in lets the person who leaves. Do not forget about him.
6
If you are going to attend a movie show or performance, try to arrive in advance so that you can find and take your place in the hall calmly, without disturbing anyone. In the event that your row is already filled, you must apologize to the sitting audience before bothering to squeeze to your place.
7
Even if you really liked a movie or a performance, you should not share your impressions with your neighbors in the course of the action: you can interfere with other viewers.
8
When you are in the subway car or the bus, tram, you should prepare in advance for the exit at your stop. Ask the passenger in front of you if he will also go on it. If the answer is no, ask him to move and let you pass.
9
Of course, do not forget to give way to older people, people with disabilities and pregnant women. In a word, try to behave according to the commandment: "Do with others as you want them to do with you!"
