Q
  • Always wear your seat belt and insist
    that your passengers do.
  • Never drink and drive. These safeguards
    are the most thoughtful acts of all as
    they can save lives.
  • Driving a car requires your full attention.
    Distractions, such as putting on makeup,
    snacking, using your iPod, texting, or
    chatting on a cell phone, interfere with
    your ability to respond physically and
    mentally.
  • Signal your intentions. Using your turn
    signals before turning a corner or
    switching lanes is a must.
  • Drive at the speed limit.
    Driving too slowly can also
    cause accidents.
  • Keep some distance
    between you and the car
    ahead of you. Tailgating is
    both aggressive and a sure
    way to rear-end someone
    who stops suddenly.

Q

MANNERS DURING BEREAVEMENT

A
  • Sharing a fond memory” of the
    person who passed will help the
    grieving focus on happier times
  • Avoid platitudes that can perceived
    as insensitive, like “He’s in a better
    place,” and “The pain will lessen in
    time.” Don’t ask how the person
    died, or tell the bereaved you know
    how they feel. There’s also “no use
    questioning the medical care, or
    what could have been done
    differently,” “I think there’s power
    in just a smile, a hug, a pause.”
  • While black is the traditional
    color of mourning and a safe
    option, it’s not the only color
    you may choose,” “Grey, blue,
    and eggplant are other choices.”
    “A funeral is not the time to
    make a bold fashion
    statement…be subtle and
    tasteful.”
19
Q
  • Different religions and cultures
    have different funeral customs;
    Do some research online or call
    the house of worship. And be
    prepared, says Swann, “to do as
    the Romans do.” In other words,
    “do your best to join in and take
    part in the service” no matter
    how different it is from your
    own traditions.
  • Sympathy cards and food are
    good ideas. “Often there are out
    -of-town family and friends that
    come in for the funeral and a
    meal that is easy to reheat is
    always a plus,”

20
Q

As tempting as it may be, don’t take
photos of long-lost relatives or
friends you haven’t seen for a while,.
“It may be a happy occasion to
reconnect, even under difficult
circumstances, but don’t let the
bereaved see you behaving as if you
are at a graduation party, rather
than a funeral. And going up to the
coffin and snapping a picture is not
appropriate.” Likewise, skip the
social media posts.
* Never, ever answer your cell for
a call

Q

dating etiquette

A
  • Eye contact is crucial when
    dating, so it is good
    etiquette to provide as
    much attention as possible
    to your date. She should feel
    as if she’s the only person in
    the room.
  • Be a listener and do not
    talk her to death.
  • Listening shows interest
    and the ability to
    compromise. If your idea
    of a date is talking about
    yourself and your
    opinionsall night then do
    her a favor and stay
    home
  • Be courteous and complimentary
  • Your date has made an effort for
    you and your personal opinions
    aren’t quite welcome at this
    stage
    Also, always turn up for a date unless you
    have given plenty of time for it to be
    cancelled.
  • Standing her up is not appropriate
    adult behavior.
    -Try to turn up on time and don’t keep
    your date waiting. If your transportation
    is unreliable, get going in plenty of time.
    Being punctual shows respect and
    responsibility.
  • Try to avoid being
    opinionated or arrogant on
    a date and also avoid
    discussions about politics
    and religion
  • Don’t be rude to others on a date.
  • You should aim to display a pleasant
    personality so arguing about a
    service charge or whether the wine
    is chilled enough will make you
    look like a fool.
    In terms of appearance, make an effort to
    dress well as there is no excuse not to.
  • Poor appearance displays
    laziness and contributes
    greatly to negative self
    promotion.
