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!

Members Of This Online Group Are Annoyed With People Not Having Common Sense And Ignoring These 40 Unwritten Rules If someone says they’re not drinking tonight, don’t make them feel bad or imply they are being boring

slowent , Marie Michaux Report

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.

Inkoko , Gunnar Wrobel Report

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.”

Ever since we had to start social distancing I've started noticing she stands quite close behind people. Not so uncomfortably close for most, but I'd find it uncomfortable, personally. And she just... doesn't social distance. At all. She's not a Covidiot, she's all for protecting each other in these times, she's just so damn ignorant it hurts!

If everyone does it, then enters that ring to grab their luggage and leave, then everyone can see their luggage as it comes and no one is jostling.

It never occurred to me until I traveled in South Korea and they had a white line around the carousel that everyone stood on. It was remarkably efficient and I wish the rest of the world adopted it.

It might seem that a lot has changed and everyone has been impacted by the suddenly changed global order. What is important to consider, according to the specialist, is that “kindness still matters, and most people are aware that this is an opportunity to show compassion to other human beings.”

I had someone try to force himself into an elevator while I was leaving. I said, "Out then in." He said, "What?!" I said people get off of the elevator first, then people can go in. He said, "Wow, I didn't know that was a rule. That makes a lot of sense!" I think he was probably more polite after that, although the people who were waiting for him to finish this conversation so they could let the elevator door shut weren't that happy with him.

Members Of This Online Group Are Annoyed With People Not Having Common Sense And Ignoring These 40 Unwritten Rules If someone pays for something for you (I'm not talking about as a gift, I just mean 'We can't split the bill here so I'll pay and you can pay me your half later', 'I'll buy both of our concert tickets now and you can revolut me for it later', etc) you really shouldn't make them ask you to pay them back. 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.

On the other hand, please tell someone that they have something amiss with themselves. If I see a someone with toilet paper on their shoe, zipper is down, exposed nipple, toupee is coming off, whatever; I will always quietly let them know. I'd rather be embarrassed in front of one person who tells me, instead of 50 people who are giggling at me.

Exactly! If the actors have spent time learning their lines, got into makeup and performed their part for the director and cinematographer to get the perfect shot, then no, it isn't 'them just talking', it's an integral part of the story. Please just eat your popcorn and if you're still bored, maybe you could count your popcorn because right now, I'm watching - and listening to - a movie. Rant over. Apologies. Pet peeve.

While stationary stairs have a lesser effect, I need a fraction of a second after getting off escalators because I have an inner ear thing that affects my balance on moving stairways. I try not to use them, but sometimes there are no alternatives. So maybe consider that no one (including you) needs to get everywhere at 100mph. If you are in that much of a rush, perhaps your time management skills need working on, rather than getting angry at the dizzy woman not moving in a NY second at the end of the stairs.

Try your best to make sure there isn't a third wheel in your group. It really sucks to be in that position.

I'd rather be a third wheel (I'm quite happy in my singleness) than be forced to be set up. If I am going out with a group, I'm there because I like the people in the group, I don't need you to add an extra for me.

Don’t take the last of something without asking. Had gooey butter cookies I brought home when visiting family. I know they’re impossible to stop eating, so I guess it’s my fault. Offered roommates some when I left, came back and they were all gone. Never even got one :(

Or shout out, “who here is eyeing that last cookie and really wants it?” lift up the tray and pass it their way. Done!

Pointing out awkward situations. If it wasnt awkward before, it now definitely is.

How close? This one isn't clear. And while there is such a thing as personal space, there is also excess ambient noise, voice volume and hearing issues. Personal space is also cultural.
