12 General Manners And Etiquette. by nuelsylves(m): 1:16pm On Oct 28, 2016
Manners cost us nothing; yet, earn us respect when we use them.

"Manners maketh the man," is a phrase not used much these days. The basics of etiquette have been largely forgotten by the younger generation.

The older generation may well remember some of the following:

1. Don't point - it's rude

2. Don't smoke or eat in the street - it looks 'common'

3. Don't talk with your mouth full - disgustingly, you may spit some of it out!

4. Don't shout - Keep your voice down

5. Don't interrupt - it's selfish and ill-mannered

6. Don't swear - it impresses nobody (it's the language of low lives and those with a limited vocabulary)

7. Open doors for the elderly and for women

Hold doors open for whoever is following you in (or out)
- don't let it slam in their face

8. Use please and thank you

9. Don't gang up on anybody anywhere

10. Don't talk behind other's backs

11. Turn away from people, food and the phone when you cough or sneeze

12. Show respect for those older and wiser than yourself - Without respect and consideration for others, we are nothing but savages.

Don't walk with your hands in your pocket.


When you're walking on the road as a man with a minor or a woman, make sure they're on the other side of the road and not in the way of incoming vehicles.

Always show up on time for any engagement, be it formal or informal. It shows respect for the other party and it also shows you're a good manager of your time.
