Hello revered ones! Remember we started an edition on “Basic Etiquettes some weeks ago” and we focused on Communication Etiquettes . This is a continuation of the series and today I’ll be sharing on “Public Manners”.
We all know how important it is to be well-mannered not just in our rooms or among our friends but also among unknown people at public and notable places.
•Cell Phone Conversations in Public
When you're talking on your cell phone in public, remember where you are. Don't discuss anything that the rest of the world has no business knowing, like what your doctor said about your infection, the amount you were credited in your account, your next official appointment, or the argument you had with your friend, wait until you get home or at least in your car(if you have one) before discussing such private stuff.
•Excessive Virtual Socializing
This is something we all should work on, like really!
Have you ever thought of this? “What would you have done before texting and social media existed? As much as we love social media and take pictures at outings, pay less attention to your phone when you are at a public place.
•Don’t put your phone on the table in public. By doing so, you show how important a role this device plays in your life, how bored you are of what’s happening, and that at any moment you’re ready to stop the conversation and once again check your Instagram feed.
•If you’re walking along with someone and your companion greets a person you don’t know, you should also greet them.
•Whoever you are ; a company director, an academician, a speaker, an elderly woman/man, or a student, when you enter a room you should be the first person to greet everyone there.
•Directions:
Whenever someone asks you for directions to a place he or she doesn't know, if you don't know the place, don't try guessing or describing and ensure you are not rude in conveying the message. You could just say “I’m sorry, I have no idea”.
• Foul Languages
There is no reason to let expletives fly out of your mouth when you are out in public, especially when there are children present. When you lose control of your language, people will tune you out or get angry. Most people respond much better to polite language than anger and obscenities.
•Avoid talking loudly or laughing loudly at a public place, especially at a public mall or at a bank. This could have a way of irritating the people around you.
Thanks for reading lovelies.
