Ten Unwritten Social Rules Everyone Should Know (28560 Views)
(1) Go Down)
KillerBeauty(f): 2:55pm On Mar 22, 2018 |
The top ten unwritten rules 1. Don't call someone more than twice continuously. If they don't pick up your call that mean they have something more important to attend to. 2. When your fellow colleague/ classmate/ team-mate gets shouted at please don't stare at them. It makes the moment twice awkward. 3. When someone drops something on the floor by mistake or drops food from the plate or doesn't know how to use a knife/fork don't stare at them. The same goes to people sneezing, coughing or even an uncontrollable fart. It's an involuntary reaction. 4. Always skip using the restroom beside the occupied one. It makes it uneasy for the person in the occupied restroom as well as yourself if you occupy the one right next to theirs. 5. Return money that you have borrowed even before the other person re lending it to you. It shows your integrity and character. Same goes with umbrellas, pens etc 6. Never order the expensive food or drink on the menu when someone is treating you for lunch/dinner. If possible ask them to order their choice of food for you. 7. Don't ask awkward questions like‘Why aren't you married?’ Or ‘Don't you have kids’ or ‘Why didn't you buy a car?’ For god's sake it isn't your problem. 8. When someone makes a wrong investment and loses their money, don't add fuel to the flames by saying‘I knew this would happen. You should have listened to me. Don't make failure seem worse for anyone. 9. Always open the door for the person coming behind you. Doesn't matter if it is a guy or a girl. You don't grow small by treating someone well in public. 10. Wear ear phones when traveling on a bus. Don't make others taste your choice of good/bad music. The most important one! Don't swipe left or right when someone hands over their phone to you for viewing the picture. And also don't browse through their messages and call log list.

For that number 1, if someone is avoiding my calls and you know you should pick especially if it is a debtor or hubby. I will call you continuously that the only options would be to call me back or switch off your phone.

I can relate to that number 4, it can be very awkward, most especially in an office settings... Both of you will be careful on how you drop your next atomic bomb, trying to avoid the centre of the WC so as not to make sound? Worst part is if your stuff smells badly and it's only a tiny wall that parted the rest room and a office filled with female colleagues.... Lol.. ![]() 12 Likes |

In a dialogue, listen to learn, understand and know the other person's perspective, before converting your thoughts to words. In a dialogue, most persons cannot even wait for you to be through speaking without them wanting to speak out their opinion. Everything no be debate. 5 Likes |

![]() Call picked. Village people don't have network today 2018 post. Those rubbish are inbuilt in 99% of Naija peeps by default. Quarell is part of the ingredients using in cooking the repayment recipe. Make I say hear say Dem hold door for person,when your hand no break. Bros if you mess we must look you, otherwise the mess is not complete. The rest is just regular bullshit. That's how we roll. 1 Like |

Nice one @killerbeauty... "Never order the expensive food or drink on the menu when someone is treating you for lunch/dinner. If possible ask them to order their choice of food for you". You have to ingrain this into your fellow gender's head cos they are good at it... See signature 1 Like |
