If a stranger comes up to you and is acting like you have known each other for a long time and know each other, you play along. You could save their life.

It was only recently that I have heard of this. I had a gas station clerk act really excited to see me one morning, but before that and after, it was the standard interaction. I really hope this wasn't the reason and I left her in a sketchy spot, cuz it kinda weirded me out.

If you mess up or need to apologise, own it, and don’t make it about you, keep the other person as the main focus of the apology. For example don’t make excuses or blame your circumstances, focus on how you hurt the other person and be sincere.

Holy god, yes. Thank you. When I warn people they think it's funny so go out of their way to do it. What they don't always realise is that I have PTSD. They assume I'm just being sensitive. But when I am triggered I stay in a heightened fear state for a while. I syruggle and can't always reset. I usually end up in tears. Like for me-- it isn't amusing, it's emotionally punishing.

And never make any annotation on the pages. My late aunt used to torment books like that, writing personal comments (in wet ink, so you couldn't erase them) and underlining paragraphs. Then she was surprised that people were offended for ruining their books.

The most important people at a wedding are the people who are getting married. Compliment them. Tell them how amazing they are. If someone compliments one of the other women’s dress, then point out the bride’s dress. You only get one wedding, hopefully, so make the day special for those making the vows, not the guests.

When you are leaving a workspace, always tidy up as much as you can. When I was leaving a workspace, I (and everyone there) was stacking their chairs up. The man next to me didnt put his up. We all asked him if he was going to and he said "No. I dont want to." We said that the cleaners already work hard enough and are underpaid. He said "I don't care" We told him that it was a quick thing to do to make their job easier. He said " Isnt that their job?" Everyone was frustrated and put it up for him. Just dissapointed

Smoke pot? Please febreeze before you go out in public. Some folks have issues with the smell (I get headaches for example). Nothing personal; I don't have an issue with what you do in your spare time 🙂 but we don't want to smell it and if we don't, we can't complain can we? 😉
Please and thank you 😘

Leave places as you find them. You eat snacks in a hotel? Throw your trash out. You we looking for a power cable? Close every drawer you opened!

I recently got back from vacation-- just before leaving i spent a week deep cleaning so i could come back to a nice clean relaxed place and it would be clutter free and easy to maintain for my roommate. My roommate didn't take the garbage out during the 4weeks, the floors were caked in mud. There was a pile of smelly dishes and spent my first two days back cleaning just to get it half way to what it was before i left.

Don't talk to people higher up on the key chain. There is a food chain in school, no matter what anyone tells you. The richer and "more talented" people are usually the ones on top. There are book nerds, video game geeks, weirdos, goths, jocks, artists, shy kids, and all other flavors of people in school. Everyone is equal, but people don't see it that way. An unspoken rule at school is that anyone remotely weird or not "popular" can't hold a conversation with the "hot" and "popular" people.
Of course, I don't abide by this rule. It's way more fun to weird people out. But that's my contribution (;

Haha I also don't do this. I wouldn't call myself unpopular although I'm not popular specifically cause it's not like a trans gay guy can be popular in a middle school, but some of my close friends are definitely in the popular category. To be fair I'm in a lot of friend groups- queer, dnd, ultimate frisbee, smart, chaotic and dumb (although the last two are pretty much the same people in different scenarios)- so it makes sense that I'd have at least a few popular friends.

People exit the door first, then you go in. You walk on the RIGHT side of road/stairs. On a busy road, you don't just suddenly stop and stare around. I live in a big city and it absolutely baffles me how many people are not aware of any of these.

Might just be a Seattle thing (read; normal human being thing) but don't talk to people you don't know. It's creepy and weird. Don't sit next to them in a public area, if you have to sit as far away as possible, and do not start talking to them. It's incredibly creepy. If you need directions, that's fine, but don't walk up to someone and ask them if they like the weather. That is creepy. If you have a genuine reason to talk to a stranger, it's fine, but don't just make small talk with an innocent person.
