Unwritten Rules… Now Written!

If you use up all of the toilet paper, refill it.

Don’t mistake an apology with an excuse.

Buy a plunger before you need one.

Do not swipe left or right when someone shows you a picture on their phone.

If you borrow someone’s car, fill up the tank before returning it.

Leave it in a better condition that you find it.

When out to dinner with a group, don’t offer to split the bill evenly when you have the most expansive tab.

Don’t put your music on speakers when in a public space.

When you were wrong, acknowledge it and admit it.

Don’t start drama at a funeral or a wedding.

Don’t propose at someone else’s wedding.

Chew with your mouth closed.

Don’t leave your shopping cart in the middle of the grocery aisle.

If you’re borrowing it for the 3rd time, you need one of your own.

Do not “vape” in a space where you are not allowed to smoke.

Don’t look through the gap of a bathroom stall.

Men, leave one empty urinal between you and the next guy whenever possible. And DO NOT look down at his junk!

Turn on your headlights when it’s snowing or raining.

Be kind to people who work in retail stores.

Don’t take your bad day out on someone else.

Walk on the same side of the stairs and sidewalks that you would drive on.

In a public space like the mall, move to the side if you need to stop walking.

If someone is giving you a ride, be ready before the person arrives to pick you up.

If someone holds a door open for you, thank them. They’re not your servant.

Return the shopping cart to its appropriate spot when you’re done.

If you’re walking side by side on a sidewalk, make room for someone coming towards you.

Be patient with the elderly.

Always say please and thank you. It should be second nature.

Never ask a woman if she’s pregnant.

Don’t make promises you can’t keep.

Never refuse when someone offers you a breath mint.

Deodorant: use it. If you can smell yourself, it’s too late.

Ask the person if they are at the back of the line before you join it.

Pay people back before they have to ask you.

When traffic is merging ahead, don’t try to get to the font and cut in. And when merging, do the “zipper” by letting one car in.
