Cool topic !
- Remember not to look people in the eye, it's rude
- When speaking to someone at your university or in your class, don't speak about anything that's not directly related to the subject you study, it's rude to bring up your private/social sh**.
- Speak your mind! If you ask someone "how are you doing?" you ask for a report of the persons state at this time, it is not a greeting. If you want to greet someone say "hi" or "greetings".
- Do not engage in pointless social conversation at any time. Comments like "have you seen those new ugly shoes Jennys wearing" or "I think Jims gained some weight" are so socially unacceptable that people will spit on you.
- When speaking to someone, take your time. It's rude to not give the other people time to think about their respond. Up to several seconds is common.
- It is rude to call someone if you don't have a very personal relationship. Email exist for a reason, use it for everything!
- It is so looked down on as a social concept to just show up at someones door that doorbells have been removed and doors sound padded so there is no way to know if anyones there anyway. Send an email a week in advance if you want to visit someone! And explain what you want. "I'm coming to visit" is not an explanation but an intent.
