Do you wonder how people can watch videos on the bus without headphones? Or do you want your colleagues to just stop heating up stinky fish in the office microwave? If everybody remembered about these little things, it'd be much easier to communicate with people. For instance, a Reddit user posted the question, “What is one ’unwritten rule’ you think everybody should know and follow?” And there were enough replies to make an entire book!
We looked through hundreds of replies and were amazed by some of them. Perhaps you already follow some of them!
1) Don't swipe left or right if someone shows you a photo on their phone.
2) Don’t propose at someone else’s wedding.
3) If you borrow it for the third time, you need one of your own.
4) If you cancel on a friend, it will be your responsibility to reschedule.
5) Don't heat up fish in the office cafeteria.
6) Don't point out flaws in someone’s physical appearance.
7) Don’t let your friends drink and drive. Call an Uber for them. Do it for other people too.
8) Do not say, “When are you due?” to women you barely know. They may not even be pregnant.
9) Do not leave your shopping cart in the middle of a grocery store aisle.
10) If you are going to listen to music, videos, or anything else on your phone which requires sound and is not a phone call, either wait until you get home or invest in some headphones.
11) When driving a car, do not be nice, be predictable. People being nice can lead to a shitload of accidents.
12) Be kind to strangers; the world is a cruel place, and you can never know what others have been through.
13) If somebody asks you a question, finish what you’re saying with, “what about you?”
14) Give people their personal space. Not everyone wants to snuggle a stranger.
15) Do not ask for something if the person only has one left (gum, cigarettes, a piece of cake, etc.).
16) If somebody does something that makes them happy and confident, and it does not hurt them or anyone else (animals included), then just leave them alone and let them do their thing. Let them be happy.
17) There are two people in your life you NEVER UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES LIE TO. Your doctor and your lawyer.
18) Buy a plunger before you need it.
19) Don't tell a woman without makeup that she looks tired or sick.
20) If I did not ask for your advice, don’t be surprised that I don’t take it seriously.
21) Get vaccinated.
22) Don’t talk about Fight Club.
