Cool Guides

Entire poster could be summarised as: treat other people with respect and empathy.

Hold the door if someone is right behind you.

Unless you're entering a secure location, in which case don't.

Nice post! I don't know how many are or aren't taught these things, as I feel like I was taught most of these myself. I do have some opinions though:

• Tipping I feel like is a thing very pertained to the US, and shouldn't be considered "good etiquette", but rather altruistic. I.e. no pressure to give tips. Same with the car, but it should still be returned "in an equal or better condition" if possible.
  Etiquette is not dependent on economic power.
• Being loud in general is bad etiquette/uncivilized, so the three about loud music, speakerphone, and loudness in quiet public places could be a single entry.
• Other duplicates: "let others exit first" and "clean up".
• The coughing shows a graphic of holding the hand in front of the mouth, which should instead be the elbow because of simple hygiene.
• The part about commenting on someone's food is a bit weird, as it could be extended to "don't share your opinion about my choices unless I ask". Thoughts?
• I really like the modern inclusion of putting away your phone during conversations!
• Things that could be added:
  • Value others' time; be on time, and don't be in the way of those with little time.
  • Do the small things yourself, regardless of whose responsibility it is (like pick up something from the floor).
  • Give space when there is space. E.g. walking on the sidewalk, shopping cart in aisle, personal space in the queue, etc.

AI Trash

Im pretty sure a lot of these are taught by parents and cultural osmosis, at least where I live.

Edit: The pandemic definately tried to teach people to cover their face holes while sneezing or coughing

No one taught you this? Even if nobody sits you down for a lesson, you are taught by example by the people around you when you grow up.

Also, the tipping and keeping doors open for people behind you are not universally applicable. In large swaths of Asia you'll be met by ire or confusion respectively. So maybe this is missing a generated image for being culturally sensitive.

You missed one: don't use ai to generate images.

Would change the "cover your mouth" the presumedly ai generated image shows someone using their hand - which is not cool.

cough into your elbow so you don't spread germs.

Why is there a separate one for exiting an elevator when there's on for exiting rooms below? Same principle

I live in a country where tipping isn’t a thing, and nobody here wants it to be a thing. And American tourists come over and can’t comprehend not tipping so they tip anyway because they think we’re just being mean to each other and that we all want tipping to be a thing.

Hey ooli, I did not like your post. What was your reasoning when you decided to make it?

I'd be sincerely interested in the (thought) process.

"no one" teaches you to sneeze in the elbow?? What do you teach kids at all then?

Your parents failed you if they didn't teach at least half of these, Christ.

If no one taught you a good majority of these: What the hell did your parents teach you?

Please don't cover your mouth when you cough with your hands. Please don't.

This is ragebait. Of course everyone has been taught all of these.

Fuck AI alop.

I see a lot of comments dismissing the information because of it use of AI for the graphics. Would it have been received better if the post was simply a list of bullet points? I couldn't do graphics if my life depended on it, but I still feel this presentation is easier to digest and process than it'd be if it was plain text, so I'd probably go the same route of using AI to better convey what I'm trying to.

Don't shit on the floor, and if you do, make sure to clean it up. #lifehacks
