Members Of This Online Group Are Annoyed With People Not Having Common Sense And Ignoring These 40 Unwritten Rules

Interview

There are a lot of etiquette rules that people have to follow in order to prove themselves to be polite and respectful individuals. We learn those things from family members, teachers, and other people. However, not everyone likes to apply these rules or they simply don’t know about them and this might annoy some of those who find these things to be common knowledge. Having this in mind, one Reddit user @HAXposed asked others online what are some of the unspoken rules that people tend to break that annoy them.

The question that received 47.5k upvotes received various answers, stating that sometimes people forget to say thank you or talk with a full mouth of food, they like to listen to music loudly or have someone on speakerphone without the other caller knowing. These are only a few things that Reddit users find annoying and rude.

What other unspoken rules can you add to this list? Don’t forget to leave your thoughts in the comments down below!

Even though there are a lot of things that we might think are common knowledge, everyone came from different backgrounds and families and was taught different things and encountered different situations in life. One can only envy a person who seems to always know how to act, what to say, or how to avoid any awkward situations or putting themselves in an embarrassing position. The question is, can we learn these rules? Yes, and there are some people who are great at mastering the art of etiquette. One of them is Diane Gottsman, an international etiquette expert, author and founder of The Protocol School of Texas. For those who are interested in finding some more tips and tricks on etiquette, the woman shares them on her social media. Bored Panda contacted the expert to find out more on the matter.

Many might agree that the way a person behaves in front of others means a lot and allows others to form an opinion about that person. But do we pay enough attention to how we behave in front of others, in public places, and at home? Gottsman explained that “it is natural that people will feel more relaxed when they are in the company of those they are most comfortable with. When you’re at home, by yourself, if you pick a green bean up off your plate, it’s not as egregious as when you do the same thing in front of a client or on a job interview.” The woman concluded by stating that “people are conscious of how others perceive them and are always trying to put their best foot forward when possible. Sometimes, they just aren’t aware of how to do it.”

The good thing is that people are ready to learn and change. The etiquette expert revealed that during her work with university students and corporate CEOs, she noticed how much effort her students put into learning and doing their best. “It takes training. We are not born with social skills and norms and customs are different in different cultures and it’s important to be familiar.”

Having in mind the recent situation the whole world has had to face, Gottsman agreed that the pandemic had an impact on people’s behavior. Even though little by little, the world is trying to get back to normal, it still “feels awkward.” The woman stressed that “our greetings have changed and many social behaviors that were once excepted have now been put on hold to keep ourselves and others healthy. We have to relearn our social skills and be aware of other peoples awkward moments.”

I live in Los Angeles, USA, the literal birthplace of the inner city freeway experiment and a long tradition of terrible traffic. My secret to a relaxing commute: LET EVERYONE IN IN FRONT OF ME. Seriously. If you need to get in, I will make space, flash headlights, smile and wave at you like I'm your biggest fan. I have found that I am 20x more relaxed in my commute, the difference in commute time is maybe five to six minutes, and the number of happy grateful people waving at and thanking me is near a dozen. I roll down my window, bump my music, practice my singing, and get to work feeling great. TRY IT. You'll love it. I guarantee.

While I was in driving school, once I wanted to let someone in (it was a very busy day on the road) and asked my trainer can I do it. He was very pleased with the question and said it was entirely my choice to do it or not, but it's a nice thing to do. I said that I would let them in then, because it could be my mom or dad driving and I would want someone to let them in. I never dumped the practice and it is a nice feeling.

Ideally not even once, but especially not two or three times.

If I owe someone money like that I make sure to pay them back as soon as I can and let them know once I've done it. I have a friend who I know is not short on money, but I stopped offering to pay for things for him in situations like the above because he just forgets and makes you ask him two or even three times before he does it. I really think that's not fair to people. You're putting them in an uncomfortable position.

Ok, I would want to add one : If a guest brings an expensive gift, don't ask them to pay for food the few days they stay at your place ! (or maybe warn them before, if you are on a budget and need stuff? I always ask "what do you want me to bring?" just to be sure.) Long story short : friend invites me at her parents place, I bring an expensive box of chocolate for them (pieces of art and delicious, they were pleased). And I'm the kind of guest to offer my help for any chore, mom is pleased. Next morning, mom says "you girls go groceries shopping and cook dinner" (we are 25 - 30). Parents are definitely not on a budget (but I am). Definitely not the way I was educated. My friend is also a bit embarrassed. And I still don't get the mom's point. 🤷‍♀️

Waiting for pedestrians to cross when they're more then a meter from the cross walk, JUST GO.

Waving for me to walk across or go 1st at 4 way stops, NOPE, that is a ticket for me AND you - as you're not an officer and you're directing traffic and I am following your direction. I will nope until you're mad, it is illegal. Please for the love of God, teach your kids to be confident when crossing the street - look into the eyes of the drivers and assess their attention, be sure they see you, and when you cross don't hesitate half way across and scurry back nor fail to observe traffic and do a mad dash.

That uber-politeness drives me nuts! Many times when I've been in a left turn lane on a bike, an oncoming driver STOPS and WAITS for me to turn in front of them. NO! Just GO! Otherwise the person behind them might assume they're turning right or just an idiot stopping for no reason, so they'll use the turn lane to zip around them and there I am on my bike. Just follow the rules of the road folks!

There are millions of rules... Drive fast in fast lane. Let the other finish their statement. Put it back, the glass, the dumb bell, the stationary item, etc. Yes you should greet with your friend, but in the middle of a busy footpath. He can hear you, just try to talk in low voice on your mobile phone. You are stinking, how the hell the time will pass all the way along .

Don’t ask trans people about their bodies, or what surgeries they’ve had/plan to have.

Not just trans people. *Any* people. If people want to rearrange their face and/or body then that's *their* business and not mine or yours.

If your kids are very young you should think about not bringing them to a restaurant at all.

I feel we could add more items to this list, and some more important ones.

Important one i don't see. Don't drink like a fish at a dinner party and expect the non-drinkers to chip in an even share of the bill.

If I'm engrossed in my book, it isn't time for talking to me unless it is really, really important.

People at theaters or church who arrive early and take the seat on the aisle. Then they give an ugly look to everybody that must make them move to get to the remaining seats.
