The Correct Way To Enter And Exit A Room

[@RendyRuban]

Such a grandeur gesture. Now I might apply this with entering windows to be a proper-mannered burglar.

[@neptunianman]

and make sure you knock before entering, it's only polite

[@GCKteamKrispy]

Enter with a tux please !!how rude

[@elliewilson8863]

Oh yes please and don’t forget to dress for the occasion, after all you need to set precedence for all other well mannered burglars. 😂😂😂😂🍾

[@SaxonC]

After I watched this, I applied this to my everyday life and it’s effortless! I even received a compliment from someone in an office that I was entering.

[@randomaxe662]

Don't let the door hit you on your left buttocks, Jeeves.

[@dancingcat87]

Never thought about these little details. It does seem more proper.

[@SomeBuddy777]

It's definitely the spin that makes such a mundane chore a far superior and sublime movement.

[@azlanhamzah5551]

If you forgot the house key,then they should show us how to politely break down the door.

[@hamoudi_d]

I prefer to do it the "Shining" way. With an axe breaking a hole into the door and then with a friendly smile greating all the people within that room. 😂

Pretty cool. And it's actually very useful when you have to close and locked the door very quickly.

I have been doing that since childhood, but I don’t think my spin around is as sexy as yours . Thank you for reminding us to either learn or keep our good manners .

This is exactly the kind of video I’ve been wanting to see.

[@analyons8595]

Next time, would you please include the "why" and "since when", the pros and cons, and what impression it leaves vs. a "here's ma behind coming and going"? That's the stuff that makes this all relevant to us today. Thanks kindly!

Thanks . Earlier I used to kick the door with my right leg and enter room .

[@addygil5000]

Thank you for making these videos.

[@azkahassan6230]

As a Muslim, I've been taught when you enter a room always use your right hand and foot. When you exit the room always use your left hand and foot. Its similar to what you have taught me. Thank you for teaching.

How very interesting! You enter a Japanese tea room with your right food and exit with your left.

If you wanna do it the correct way, you gotta do it my way. Firstly, you light up a cig then you spit on the floor AND only after you've done that you can proceed with full force kicking the door open, voila! You've now been fired.

[@peterp5867]

Dear Royal Butler, thank you for your lovely videos. However, I have to say, that you are never allowed to turn your back to the people when entering the room. So, when opening the door and entering the room, you do not turn around and make any such manoeuvre to change hands, you change your hands behind your back always facing the people in the room.

[@kaprphish]

Yeah, but what if you're opening the door for a guest, allowing them to go into the next room, and then closing the door for the guest while remaining in the same room you started in. Where do I stand? Where do I put my hands?

[@Felix-co1rl]

at this point am i even breathing properly-

[@regalsurvivor3418]

No. Lol

[@HiHi-ek1dd]

Well you see the way your suppose to breathe is by your nose, with your correct tongue posture. If you do not your posture of your entire face will deflat, so it is important for you to breath through your nose, your welome darling.

[@kurjan1]

So you don't get stabbed or shot in the back. Not saying I'm paranoid or anything of that nature..!

[@zboy.05]

what if you smack someone with the door because you look behind you when opening door

[@inorganicproduce]

Short and sweet - thanks

[@907alphaprime7]

Okay! I was missing the spin, guys! Got it!

[@Archer335]

Here’s one: When you need to enter a room or an elevator, and someone else needs to exit, generally speaking, the person who needs to exit has the right of way.

[@anthonygrubb8211]

I know this video is several years old. However, my question is if the person in the office was say a king/queen, how would you incorporate the bowing/curtsy required of lower classes

[@stevencraig2448]

Awesome Video

[@TheRoyalButler]

Thank you 🙏🏻

[@CELINE-00004]

i thought i seemed silly whenever i did this turns out its just my natural noble tendencies heh😌

[@mm-yt8sf]

it just occurred to me that the process isn't symmetric between either side of the door, the "room" gets more face time, which i guess makes sense if people tend to be in rooms and mere hallways tend to be on the other side. but if there are two rooms..does one have to make a guess as to which room has the more important people? :-D if the queen was waiting for you in the hallway would you have alter your passage so that you're facing the queen with the maximum amount of time? does anyone leave her in hallways... :-)

[@jamesdalton3082]

Doubt she spends much time waiting in hallways. She's last in first out.

[@matthewjeffery6481]

They probably think they're driving on the right side of the road and don't understand why it's different in USA.

[@ronanmcauley]

What do you do if there are royals in the rooms on either side of the door? You're simultaneously leaving one room while entering another so which room do you face into?

[@TheRoyalButler]

Can get tricky, but acknowledge them all.

[@ddl4374]

😂

[@randomaxe662]

"Right hand on the handle" while using his left. Was this uploaded with the video flipped horizontally? Or is it another example of England and America being separated by a common language?

[@stugryffin3619]

He refers to one hand as his right when first approaching the door and then refers to the same hand as his left when reentering this room. After going through many of his vids and other questionable pieces of advice, I've unsubbed. I genuinely don't think this man is a butler at all.

Did this tradition come from a time when the butler also acted as a guard and needed a complete view of all points around the room, or is it in fact just a display of courtesy.

The doorknob at my place is on the other side of the door. Is it safe to assume that I use the left hand instead? Other than that change it works perfectly.

Do I have to shut the door after I enter? In the house I grew up, there was a policy that if a door was found shut, we should shut it back before we leave. If it was open, we leave it open. Is there anything like that in etiquette?

[@bellerophon9116]

What is the more nuanced thought behind this style of entry and exit?

[@Elem40]

Let me try to answer: It is a general rule of politenes to turn your face towards a person and not your back. This way of handling the door ensures, that you open and close the door facing into the room and only spend the least possible amount of time with your back towards it without walking backwards - wich would look irritating in most situations.

[@Arkylie]

I'm writing a scene with Jarvis (of the Marvel Cinematic Universe) conducting a guest to his suite, and I'm trying to figure out which character should enter first. I figure Jarvis would totally know the right move there, but I don't. Do you open the door and step aside for the guest to enter? Do you open the door and flow into the room to hold it open from inside? Do you go in and check the room for dangers first before the guest can enter? What's the actual etiquette?

The correct way to knock on doors is first to put your right foot in, then take your right foot out, and finally do the hokey pokey and turn yourself about. After that, you must knock to the beat of "Shave and a Haircut."
