  • Nice post! I don’t know how many are or aren’t taught these things, as I feel like I was taught most of these myself. I do have some opinions though:

    • Tipping I feel like is a thing very pertained to the US, and shouldn’t be considered “good etiquette”, but rather altruistic. I.e. no pressure to give tips. Same with the car, but it should still be returned “in an equal or better condition” if possible.
      Etiquette is not dependent on economic power.
    • Being loud in general is bad etiquette/uncivilized, so the three about loud music, speakerphone, and loudness in quiet public places could be a single entry.
    • Other duplicates: “let others exit first” and “clean up”.
    • The coughing shows a graphic of holding the hand in front of the mouth, which should instead be the elbow because of simple hygiene.
    • The part about commenting on someone’s food is a bit weird, as it could be extended to “don’t share your opinion about my choices unless I ask”. Thoughts?
    • I really like the modern inclusion of putting away your phone during conversations!
    • Things that could be added:
      • Value others’ time; be on time, and don’t be in the way of those with little time.
      • Do the small things yourself, regardless of whose responsibility it is (like pick up something from the floor).
      • Give space when there is space. E.g. walking on the sidewalk, shopping cart in aisle, personal space in the queue, etc.
