Etiquette are customary code of polite behaviour in society or among people. In this article, I have outlined some basic etiquette that most people do not know
.
1. Don’t show up at a party empty-handed, unless you’ve been instructed to.
.
2. Don’t break up with someone by text. And don’t announce a death in the family by text.
.
3.If you’re forgiven after you’ve apologized, don’t touch the person again just to say you’re sorry.
.
4. The golden rule when using perfume is moderation. If you can still smell your perfume in the evening, everyone else is already tired of it.
.
5. If someone calls you rudely (’You there!’), you shouldn’t answer.
.
6. Don’t touch someone’s belly when she’s pregnant; or even when she isn’t.
.
7. Chew your food with your mouth closed
.
8 Don’t talk with food in your mouth.
.
9. Wash your hands after going to the restroom.
.
10. If you bump into someone, say sorry.
.
11. If you say, ’I invite you,’ that means you pay.
.
12. Never pay a visit without calling first.
.
13. A man should never carry a woman’s handbag.
.
14. If you’re walking along with someone and your companion greets a person, you should also greet them.
.
15.A man should always walk on a woman’s left-hand side. Military men are the only exception, because they should be ready to salute.
.

I knew these, except for #14.

Allow me to add a few

*Place a hand over your mouth when you cough, sneeze or yawn.

*Remove your hat when you enter the home.

* Don't wear sunglasses at night or indoors.

* You don't pick food between your teeth using a finger or in front of people. Do it in the bathroom.

* At night when you go to bed, the clothes you wore during the day should be folded & put away, not left scattered all over the floor.

* You don't stand up while other people are eating or disturb someone else while they're eating. Basically, no interruptions during mealtimes.

* A toothbrush is changed every 3 months.

* Your bedding (sheets & pillow cases) should be washed once a week.

* You don't leave the house without making the bed. A bed should be made daily, even if you're not going anywhere.

* You don't smack your lips or lick your fingers while eating.

Number 1 isn't for Nigerians...

I don't do etiquettes because I forget. I just try to be nice

Seems u are a master of etiquette

It's a good thing life is not a straightforward thing governed by strict rules. It's not so serious. I apply the ones I remember and discard the rest.
