What constitutes bad manners? - March 2007

What's considered rude in your area that visitors need to know about?

March 21st 2007 06:05

I always try to give visitors to my area the benefit of the doubt; one can't expect someone new to an area to know all local customs. I learned about a local custom in Thailand when I gently touched a much shorter person on the shoulder while saying "excuse me"..the fierce glare I received shook me up enough to ask the hotel clerk about it. He explained that Thais consider touching anyone on or near the head extremely disrespectful. I was very careful after that!
What should visitors to my area (Florida Keys) be aware of? Littering, in the water especially. Never throw a cigarette overboard here. What about your area? What would you tell visitors to be aware of?

D. Armenta ...

It's actually rude over here not to give me a blow job before speaking to me ... and you're allowed to grip me by the shoulders while you're doing it ... It's an old Aussie custom that dates back to antiquity ... relating to not speaking with your mouth full ...

David ...

I had to laugh at this one. My wife is English and so thought nothing of asking me for a fag. She meant cigarette, of course, but I told her to break the habit because if she said it in the wrong place, the two of us might end up in serious trouble.

Yes, not only from Gay groups, but from the smoking Nazis who roam the streets looking for people to chastise..

I didn't think about the smoking Nazis, but your right. Gawd, it's worse than I thought. Thanks, I'll have to tell her.
