Common Etiquette
Family names are used when addressing people, specifically people who are not family or very close friends.- Its rude to leave some one standing for over 15 minutes.
- If you've been sitting as long as some one has been standing, and that's over 15 minutes, you are socially obligated to give up your seat to them.
- Also the host/business/staff will be greatly embarrassed for not having enough seats for all guests.
- For similar reasons people do not spend much time in lines, instead there should be a list you add your name to and wait to be called.
- If some one doesn't understand or hear what you're saying the first time, its customary to say it again, but longer and broken into smaller ideas.
- It is extremely rude to interrupt some one while they are re-explaining something. The thought behind this is that if you had been listening the first time you wouldn't have needed the second time.
- If you are interrupted in your second explanation you are socially justified if you refuse to answer questions from the offending person again during the course of the same outing.
