🌸 10 Etiquette Rules 🌸 1. When addressing someone for the first time, always use their full name. 2. Let the woman to extend her hand for handshake first. 3. Prior to making a phone call, text or message to set the time for the call. 4. If you are at someone’s office, wait for them to invite you to get seated. 5. When introducing men and women, make sure to introduce the man to the woman. 6. When you walk into the room, greet people. 7. Be on time. 15 minutes is the time limit within which being late is considered appropriate. 8. Stand on the right side and walk on the left side: be it the stairs or elevators. 9. Hold the door for the person behind you. 10. Say “thank you”. Distinguish between “I am sorry” and “excuse me”.

[@faithhope4703]

Thanks !

[@beautyamongashes8378]

I think “excuse me” after you step on someone’s toes would sound super rude. Maybe it’s living so close to Canada but “I’m so sorry” would definitely be appropriate here.

[@kpaxian6044]

I agree. As a Canadian, if I step on someone's toes I am definitely saying "I am so sorry!" Because such an action could cause pain. If someone was perhaps lost in thought and blocking an aisle or whatnot, I would use "excuse me" (politely) to let them know I am behind them and will passing soon. But bumping into people, accidentally coming into their space, accidentally stepping on their toes...I agree: ideally express that you are sorry. Because you know you could have startled them or hurt them.

[@GamerRateBot]

Indeed. If the bus lurched around a corner and I lost my balance, stepping on your toe, and I said 'excuse me' to me that implies that you got into my way, even though you aren't at fault. This can come across as rude. Saying 'Oh, I'm sorry' is sufficient because the person you are apologising to knows what you are apologising for meaning they don't need you to give a reason. Alternatively, if you said 'pardon me' you are acknowledging that you are at fault and are trying to make amends.

[@zabavnaya-xt8tb]

She speaks russian, and from russian to english both Excuse me and I'm sorry translates the same, hence the confusion

[@MsAlyx123]

Agree! We don’t do that in the U.K. we say I’m sorry

[@Mrs.Deanna_Ember]

I agree. I would personally say, "I'm so sorry I stepped on your foot. Please excuse me."

[@yousra2851]

I would like to add to the door holding to thank people who hold the door for you. I’ve had many situations where people would simply look at me or barely acknowledge me when I held the door for them!

[@BlackJezuz69]

This is easy to solve. You walk after them and gently tap them on the shoulder. Once they turn around you give them a straight right knuckle to the face. They will fall to the ground and take a short nap. Walk away but before you go don't forget to say "Thank you" for being able to smash their face. All the best xoxo

Etiquette rules vary across cultures and contexts, but there are some fundamental guidelines that can help individuals navigate social situations with grace and respect. Here are some general etiquette rules that many people find helpful: 1. **Respect Personal Space:** Maintain an appropriate physical distance when interacting with others. In most cultures, a comfortable distance is around arm's length. 2. **Greeting:** When meeting someone, offer a friendly greeting, such as a handshake, a nod, or a smile. Use appropriate titles and names unless you're given permission to use a more informal form of address. 3. **Punctuality:** Be on time for appointments, meetings, and events. Being consistently late can be seen as disrespectful of others' time. 4. **Dress Appropriately:** Dress in a manner that is suitable for the occasion. When in doubt, it's usually better to be slightly overdressed than underdressed. 5. **Table Manners:** When dining, follow basic table manners, like chewing with your mouth closed, not talking with food in your mouth, and using utensils properly. Wait for everyone to be served before beginning to eat. 6. **Listening Skills:** Practice active listening when engaged in conversation. This means giving the speaker your full attention, not interrupting, and showing interest in what they're saying. 7. **Cell Phone Usage:** In social settings or during meetings, avoid using your cell phone unless it's necessary. If you need to take a call, excuse yourself politely. 8. **Thank You Notes:** Sending thank-you notes or messages after receiving gifts, attending events, or being helped by someone is a thoughtful way to express gratitude. 9. **Respecting Elders and Authority:** Show respect to elders, authority figures, and those in positions of responsibility. Use appropriate titles and show deference when appropriate. 10. **Apologizing and Forgiving:** If you make a mistake, apologize sincerely. If someone apologizes to you, be willing to forgive and move on. 11. **Hold Doors:** When entering or leaving a building, hold the door open for others if they're right behind you. 12. **Cultural Sensitivity:** Be aware of and respectful towards cultural differences. Avoid making insensitive comments or assumptions about someone's background. 13. **Eye Contact:** Maintain appropriate eye contact during conversations. It shows interest and engagement, but excessive staring can be uncomfortable. 14. **Interrupting:** Avoid interrupting people while they're speaking. Wait for a natural pause in the conversation to contribute your thoughts. 15. **Public Spaces:** Be mindful of your surroundings in public spaces. Keep noise levels down in quiet places and be considerate of others using shared facilities. 16. **Saying "Please" and "Thank You":** Use polite language like "please" when making requests and "thank you" to express gratitude. 17. **Respecting Privacy:** Respect others' privacy, whether it's refraining from prying into personal matters or not sharing someone's private information without permission. 18. **Hand Hygiene:** Practice good hand hygiene, especially before and after meals and after using the restroom. This is especially important in preventing the spread of illnesses. 19. **Gift Giving:** When giving gifts, consider the recipient's preferences and cultural norms. It's the thought that counts, so choose something meaningful and appropriate. 20. **Exiting Conversations:** If you need to leave a conversation or a social event, do so politely by excusing yourself and offering a reason if necessary. Remember that etiquette is all about treating others with kindness, respect, and consideration. Adapting these guidelines to specific situations and cultures will help you navigate social interactions effectively.

I would like to add a full greeting to people like cashiers or bakers and wish them a nice day after you receive everything. I often see people only asking for goods without saying "hello", "thank you" or "have a nice day".

[@ma53-m4c]

One thing I picked up from your older videos that I really liked on the point of "I'm sorry" was reframing it (esp as women who may sometimes have a habit of overapologizing) and saying "Thank you for waiting for me," so it's less blameworthy and more appreciative. I feel more confident having implemented this and I have noticed people on the receiving end are also more receptive to this appreciative tone in how the react/interact with me. Wonderful video as always! Thanks a million

[@JamilaMusayeva]

You are very welcome 🙏🏻

[@Jkisacky6]

I agree. I like to say, "Thank you for being patient with me"

[@gdretired4385]

Thank you for these etiquette rules that used to be common sense when I was a child (I am 62 now). I thought I was the only person who says “excuse me”.

[@jaclyn4098]

a lot of them are still common sense. I'm 24 and was raised with manners. I was shocked to find out that other people my age don't behave the same way.

[@katesullivan9135]

Hi Jamila! Thank you so much! One video suggestion I have is airplane travel etiquette. I find it difficult to navigate flying/traveling gracefully.

[@ditarezkiautami8753]

Glad you include #3 I always considered sudden calls from non-family and non-friends as rude. I thought it would be more polite if you texted or sent email beforehand. Then when it is done, and let's say they don't reply back after a few days let's say, if it is such an urgent matter, then you can call and explain that you've texted/E-mailed them before but they didn't reply. Then stated the urgent matter.

[@tinkerhildz7465]

I agree

[@Cristina.Antoniuc]

I love the aesthetics and editing of this video so much. It’s super relaxing to watch ❤

[@gabrielamacedo1077]

Thank you for the video! All rules are truly helpful but I have to give extra attention to rule #9: regardless of gender hold the door for the person behind you! I can't count how many times people just left the door to shut on my face and it's really rude and infuriating, the worst part is that I have never done that to anyone! Please, just hold the door!

[@cc159]

In certain countries, normally those with right-hand-drive vehicles, the norm is to stand on the left hand side of the escalator, and walk on the right hand side. The opposite 😊

[@ravenrosewitches]

I had no idea. Do you know what countries are on the left?

Hello Jamila, you are so elegant and my mentor. Thank you for your lessons. I love you!

[@chrissiec2123]

Etiquette rule numbers 8 and 9 really resonated with me. As a New Yorker who uses the subway/metro in her daily life, it irks me when you have that one person that decides to stand on the left, or they take up too much space by not standing to the right enough, or they don’t switch back to the right (if they get a chance) as they walk so that people who walk faster than them can pass. Also, it happens often to me where the person in front of me does not look behind them to see if there’s anyone, so they just end up closing the door on me instead of holding it open. Thank you for this video, Jamila. Hopefully many people will watch it and apply these rules to their daily lives.

[@JamilaMusayeva]

Thank you! 🙏🏻☺️

Thank you for this educational video Jamila! Here is my video idea: Practical parenting tips. I know you've done a parenting video in the past but I would love to hear more about it, like -how do your kids learn foreign languages? Do they go to a class or do they learn from you? Is it possible to teach them etiquette at a young age, are they interested in that? I feel like kids nowadays lack basic manners, like greeting others, saying please or thank you. I would love to teach my children well when the time comes and your tips would help a lot. Hopefully there are a lot of viewers who would love to hear your tips as well. :)

You would think that these would be common sense but unfortunately they seem to have stopped being a while ago. I am not sure what changed... Great on you for pointing these things out and spreading the word in order to make the world a more comfortable place to live in. One of my biggest pet peeves is the point about the escalator. 😅 I always wonder how the people standing on the left side don't seem to notice that everyone else is standing on the opposite side... they are even usually constantly being asked to excuse the ones walking up and they do not seem to get a clue.

In Australia, we drive on the left hand side of the road. As such, on an escalator you stand on the left hand side and walk in the 'fast lane' on the right hand side. I assume this is the same in other LHS driving countries and the exact opposite in RHS countries.

I feel very uneasy with using the short names people sign their emails with. Unless I'm asked to do so, I always call people by their full names. I must look very stuck up, but I can't help it. I was told however that for Russian "short names" such as Sonia for Sophia or Sacha for Alexander, I should always use the short name. In Japan, the escalator varies from city to city. In Tokyo, people stand on the right hand side and in Osaka, we are required to keep left. At least it's indicated but it's nonetheless confusing.

[@qed456]

I would not feel uneasy as it shows respect especially if it is to a people of superior status or a man to a lady - By all means use short names if the person then invites you to call them by a shortened name

I may have missed where you touched on who extends a handshake first in a professional setting. where I live, it is always the lower ranking person who should extend a hand, as it's a sign of respect. I don't think I have ever had a hand extended to me from a higher ranking position.
