Answer 2

Engaging in socially unacceptable behavior is improper ettiquette. Engaging in socially acceptable behavior is proper ettiquette. You can make a real boneheaded move, but if your intentions were good, and you always put yourself in the other person's shoes, think before you speak, and take other's needs into consideration no matter where you are and no matter what you are doing, you will come out a winner. No one will even care if you picked up the wrong fork at dinner if your small talk with the other guests is about making them feel at ease and good about themselves.

Proper ettiquette is ALL about the Golden Rule. One of the finest examples I saw today with regard to proper ettiquette was how you handled your response to Kelly on the previous question.

Answer 3

i dont really understand your question but here are some ettiqute tips

Always RSVP to a party in a timely fashion, even if you won’t be attending. Holding off on a response makes the host feel like you’re waiting for a better offer to come along.

- Don’t ask the host of a party for a tour of their house unless it’s a housewarming. Let them offer one if they want to.

- If a wedding invitation specifies you and a guest, don’t call to ask if you can bring your children too.

- You can bring a gift for the hostess, but just make sure that it isn’t something that would preoccupy them before or during the party. If an invitation says no gifts, don’t bring them, or else you might embarrass other gift-less guests.

- If you’ve been invited to a wedding but can’t go, you should still send a wedding gift.

- Don’t ask for cash gifts as wedding gifts. Rely on word of mouth instead.

- Thank you notes are a must after receiving a gift. Make sure the thank you note gets to the person within two weeks of receiving the gift. However, an exception might be wedding gifts, since you might be busy honeymooning.


Dining
- After sitting down at the table and waiting for everyone else to sit down, unfold your napkin and place it in your lap. If you briefly leave the table, place it on the chair, and when you’re done, place it on the left side of the plate.

- To choose the right silverware at a gourmet meal, always work from the outside in (your appetizer utensils like spoon soup and salad fork are on the end).

Tipping
- Server at a restaurant: 15-20% of your bill, or less or more, (more if the party is especially large) depending on the service. If you received free food or a discount, tip the amount as if you paid full price. Only tip the host if you received special service.

- Bar: 10-20%.

- Valet and pizza delivery: $1-2.

- Salon services (hair, nails, massage): 10-20% per service, or depending on the quality.

- Hotel maid: $1-2 per day of service.

- Hotel bellhop: $1-2 per piece of luggage they haul.

Phone
- In most places other than your home, it’s rude to talk on your cell phone when the call is not significantly important, such as chatting about the weather or personal information. If you must talk on your cell phone, use a quiet voice. Don’t forget to turn your cell phone off in performance venues and in hospitals. And please don’t drive and talk.

- For a business phone call, if you must put a person on hold, make sure to check back with them every minute or so, so that they know they haven’t been forgotten.

- State your name before requesting to speak to someone and offer to leave a message if the person requested is unavailable.

- Make sure a caller knows if you have placed them on speakerphone or a three-way call.

When walking down the street or up or down stairs, always stay to the right.

- Keep any food, drinks, briefcases or paperwork in your left hand so your right hand is free for handshakes.

- Always address an elder or higher-up professional with their last name until they specify otherwise.

- It’s okay to take the last piece of pie, but ask everyone around first if they want it.

- Don’t brush your hair in any place other than the bathroom or in private.

- Always say “please” and “thank you” and always acknowledge someone else in the room.
