After all, being able to control your emotions and behave decently are signs of a strong personality.





All successful people know etiquette well and follow its canons. That's why the editorial board "Site" I wanted to remind you of the 12 current ones. etiquetteWho won't let you get in trouble. Show your level of education!

Simple rules of etiquette
  1. When a man should be first
    You may be surprised, but a man does not always have to let his lady ahead. So, for example, if you can not walk next to the stairs, then when climbing a man goes behind, and when descending - in front. Everything is very logical: if a lady "thinks" to fall, then she will fall down. And here in her way and there should be a man who will not let her do it. There is no need to pass the lady forward when entering the elevator. But to get out of there the lady should be the first - the elevator is still considered a transport of increased danger. The first person to get out of the elevator is the person closest to the door.





  2. Who visits in the morning?
    Never visit without a call. Many people know about this rule, but for some reason not everyone adheres to it. If you are visited without warning, you can afford to be, for example, in a robe and curlers. One British lady said that when uninvited guests appear, she always puts on shoes, a hat and takes an umbrella. If she likes a person, she will exclaim: “Oh, how lucky, I just came!” If you don't like, "Oh, what a pity, I have to go."





  3. I think it's starting to rain.
    Coming to work or to visit, wet from the rain, you should not dry the umbrella in the open state. It is much more correct to fold it (but not twist, otherwise after a while an unpleasant odor may appear) and put it in an umbrella stand. If you do not have one at hand, you can lean an umbrella against the wall.



  4. Indoor headgear
    If today you decide to leave the house in an elegant hat and gloves, then in this form you can safely enter the room - the rules of etiquette do not prohibit this (of course, if you do not plan to spend the whole day in a headdress or do not decide to go in a hat to the theater), but the hat and mittens are better still removed. After all, if you decide to be a lady, you have to stay one until the end, even in the forty-degree cold.





  5. Favourite bag
    The bag should not be placed on your knees or on your chair. A small elegant clutch bag can be put on the table, a voluminous bag hung on the back of a chair or put on the floor if there is no special chair (such are often offered in restaurants). You have to put your briefcase on the floor.



  6. Smartphone on the table
    You've noticed that there are people who, during a meeting with friends or even a business lunch, put their phone on the table and then constantly distract themselves to check what's new. It looks as if a person is extremely uninteresting with their interlocutors. By doing so, you show how important a communication device is in your life and how indifferent you are to those around you.





  7. Who's first?
    Whether you are a principal, an academic, an elderly woman, or a schoolgirl, say hello first.



  8. How to pay for an order in a restaurant
    We women like to speculate about “he has to pay for me,” but this is only partly true. For example, if you invite a man to a restaurant, with the specific wording “I invite”, then you confirm your willingness to pay not only for yourself, but also for the guest. The same is true for a business lunch (dinner/breakfast): if you invite your partner to a restaurant, the one who invited pays. Only the phrase “Let’s go to a restaurant” remains a salvage, only in this case the bill can be divided in half, and only if the man himself offers to pay for the woman, she can agree.





  9. A woman's bag
    A man should not carry a woman's bag. And he takes a woman's coat only to bring to the dressing room!



  10. Applying perfume
    The golden rule when using perfume is moderation. If you smell your own perfume by evening, know that everyone else is already suffocated.



  11. At the table.
    Put the cutlery on the plate correctly.



  12. Auditorium
    If you were in the theater or in the cinema later than other spectators, and your place is in the middle of the row, you need to get to it only with your face to those sitting, and not with your back.





I also suggest you familiarize yourself with the rules of perfume etiquette, so that you feel comfortable in any society and under any circumstances. After all, perfume, like handwriting, should reflect your entire essence.

And finally, remember 9 things to keep secret - this is age, wealth, gap in the house, prayer, composition of medicine, love affair, gift, honor and dishonor.



The rules of etiquette should be known to everyone, because they level of education. Believe me, your business partners will be very pleased to deal with a person who knows how to behave, and it is also a great way to make a good impression on a first date.

You have a wonderful opportunity to make your friends aware! Share this with them and enjoy the courtesy of your surroundings!
