Re: Etiquette - The less known rules…
What are some rules that you were taught but have never seen/heard from anyone else?
The idea for this thread comes from:
Not to suggest that there is any lack in anyone’s upbringing but I’m curious about what I may learn from all of you…
Here’s another “rule” that I was taught but I don’t see others doing:
When passing a glass of water you, of course hold it with your right hand, but in the absence of a tray or saucer, you place your left hand underneath as if to support it. You remain standing until the person has consumed the water and then tak ethe empty glass back (unless of course everyone is seated at a table or the person expresses a desire to keep the glass).
We have this too as well as sitting on the floor if an elder choses to and no outstretched legs towards another person. I thought these were the norm all over the Indo-Pak region.
