8 Etiquette Mistakes You Make DAILY (& How to Avoid Them)

In my opinion, "outdated" social norms helped the gentleman. Because they were rigid and strict, there was not much room for error, which made it easy to follow them.

I completely agree with the first mistake, when someone ignores you, it makes you feel bad or worthless and not worthy for a conversation...

Having grown up in the South, in a family that were sticklers for certain old school etiquette, most of it comes naturally to me, and I find it uncomfortable to not observe certain norms. One of them is standing upon someone new entering the room, or when a woman leaves/arrives at the table. I sometimes get funny looks when I stand as my wife gets up to go to the ladies room, but she appreciates it. And I still fear my grandmother reaching from the grave and slapping me upside the head if I didn't.

The only setting that I’d shake a woman’s hand in is at the office. In social settings, I don’t do any physical contact unless they initiate

I once attended a lecture by the CEO of a former employer on the theme of "Servant Leadership". Afterwards, i picked up my laptop and water bottle and came to a door where he and another C-level exec were standing engaged in coversation. Despite having my hands full they completely blanked me and i had to set the laptop down on the floor to open the door. Talk about irony! 😂

I like how Eb walks up to Jack like "have THIS, you petulant knave!" and then Jack just has this look of "Oh bother, what an inconvenience" after the slap. 🤣

When the opportunity arises to shake someone’s hand after visiting the bathroom, I always refuse & explain that I have just washed my hands… the look is always appreciated…

Introducing people you know to each other is very important. It's a sign of respect. I have been in countless situations where I was out with a friend or partner and he/she met someone I didn't know. I always thought it was rude if my friend/partner didn't introduce me and the other person to each other.

A certain family member spends entire family holidays and events doom-scrolling on his phone, taking calls, watching videos, etc. He recently hurt the feelings of a small child that openly asked why he was ignoring her 8th birthday party with his phone. I personally loved her calling him out and he was mortified.

It is both amazing and sad how much you can stand out in a positive light these days by simply keeping your phone away when with other people.

I find myself wanting to make people remove their hats when indoors. One day, I hope to be able to enforce that rule.

My wife and I make it a habit to always make a hand made card for someone who hosted an event or dinner with us. Most people are extremely grateful to see someone acknowledge the deeds they do. It also worms our hearts to express our gratitude.

This video has been sorely needed for quite some time. Thank you, GG.

Well done . I myself really struggle with Nbr 8. My English grandmother was an absolute stickler for etiquette and manners.

Bearded Preston is a nice look.

A great video! Here are some thoughts. I think a particularly egregious bit of rudeness is chewing with one's mouth open. This goes beyond basic table manner no-nos, as many people in the modern era (both my cousin and myself included) can't stand chewing noises. It's a rather common version of a thing called misophonia. Honking right when a light turns green will always be bad etiquette. I feel as though driving etiquette is rarely talked about. I actually do sometimes double back to hold the door for people because it makes me feel nice — but I do it for men and women alike. I'm going to talk about a social no-no here. When one needs to pass gas, it it always best for them to excuse themselves to the restroom — whether at the dinner table or not. If gas is passed, making jokes about it just makes it worse. Please don't be Shrek. Speaking of going to the restroom, just say, "I'll be right back" or "Excuse me for a moment, please." No elaboration is needed for these things unless someone asks.

One related thing which I find a touch rude or at least odd, is when I open the door for a man (because I'm ideally positioned to do so as he is about to leave or enter), and he responds by trying to switch our positions; ie, instead of going through the door, he grabs the door so it is now he holding it open for me.

I love the Batman references, Miss Kyle, Mr Cobblepot!

Thank you. That's a short but nice update on some etiquette practices.
