ETIQUETTE AND GOOD MANNERS


 Right from infancy to adulthood we have been taught the golden rules and table manners. Most of us might have forgotten it and probably lived our lives carelessly. Before I move further, I would like to explain what etiquette is. Etiquette are signs of good manners, good breeding, good conduct, good home training and civility. Etiquette is not only about eating without talking or washing dishes after a meal. There are more to it.

  1. Say thank you after an offer.
  2. Say I'm sorry when you have offended someone or stepped on toes.
  3. Don't shout in public spaces.
  4. Keep your love life, sex life and whosoever you slept with private. Zip up your mouth and your downstairs. 
  5. Be friendly and polite.
  6. Dress decently
  7. Take a mint or sweet after a spicy meal to avoid awful smell.
  8. Look clean and tidy.
  9. Brush your mouth and keep all private areas clean.
  10. Flush the toilet after use.
  11. Call or send a message before visiting a friend, colleague or relatives.
  12. Get goodies for anyone you visit.
  13. Avoid argument that result to violence.
  14. Be kind to strangers.
  15. First impressions matter. Behave well anywhere you go.
  16. Send a message, call and go for a proper date. Avoid social media dating or date.
  17. Respect elders and people in authority.
  18. When you want to fart, take an excuse and leave. Don't discomfort others with offensive smells.
  19. Don't throw trash on roads. Put trashes in the waste bin.
  20. Don't interrupt conversations. Listen and allow others talk.
  21. Greet the people around you. Say hello and hey when you need to.
  22. Forgive when someone seeks your forgiveness.
  23. Respect yourself in occasion and events. Don't rush for food, drinks or souvenirs. Wait your turn.
  24. Don't chew gum or food while talking or on the road.
