Re: Etiquette - The less known rules…

@Muzna

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).

I don’t know about others, but I have this weird thing where I call cousins my age ‘tum’ while the younger ones I address as aap

There is something else, I don’t know who taught me this and I don’t know who else does this but say I am given a glass of coke from someone else I will always leave a tiny amount left. Bizarre but my head tells me at some point someone told me its a sign of respect? o_O
