If you're invited round to someone's house for dinner and start eating without waiting for people to sit down and get their food - very rude. But as a Scot, I always just forget this one :/

[@EasyEnglishVideos]

Really good addition, that. 🙌

I'm from Egypt and i found this channel is very useful to know English and how to pronounce

[@klimtkahlo]

I have learnt a new word!!! I feel accomplished! Love tutting!

[@EasyEnglishVideos]

Enjoy your new future of tutting at people 🥹

I'm becoming kind of addicted , it seems .One never stops learning when immersed in the study of a language , one keeps learning and this is great .Vielleicht können wir das Leidenschaft nennen .I'm grateful to TV series back in the early seventies such as " The Avengers " or " the Forsyte Saga " for getting me hooked on the English language .I did make a huge discovery then and its effects live on.

Hi Mitch. I wish you all the best for 2024. I'm sorry but I disagree with the guy who said that spitting out in France is normal! We consider that is also very rude in France ! It's a misconception yet!

[@puiself]

I'm really glad to see this video in 2024 also. It's good point to know attitude in British. Thank you for your uploading and have a wonderful day!🙂

For the queue I would agree with it as a Malaysian, people will get angry if you're skipping. it's same here in Malaysia.

[@esper5323]

Speaking as a half Brit half Australian about differences I've noticed! :D I think meetings with people (even with family) are seen as more formal occasions than they are in Australia. In the UK if you invite someone over you need to clean up before the guest arrives and enter what I affectionately like to call "the British Mad Panic Mode" before they show up. If you refuse to tidy before a guest arrives your family/anyone you're living with will get mad at you. To be honest no one tidies up before guests arrive in Australia. I'd say British culture is almost entirely image-based, so in essence you need to protect your image and the image of people close to you if you want to be polite. In Australia I could run around outside with no shoes on and no one would care because this cultural facet doesn't exist in Australia. In the UK I would be giving people a bad image of me by doing that (they'd be like "Uhhh, wtf is his problem?"), AND I'd be ruining the image of anyone close to me because people'd associate them with me and what I'm doing. Hence, rude. Almost all the things mentioned in this video are reflections of the UK's image-based culture I've observed. Oh, and another cultural no-no in the UK no one mentioned: eating food while standing up. Find a seat first, please. ;)

[@user-vq2pr1xv8v]

I'm a Scot and I don't care abt any of this stuff. I don't notice mess.

[@EasyPortugueseVideos]

Hiya Easy English! Very very useful. People talk about that with simpathy and good mood. Something might be rude and sometimes dangerous in great cities is forgetting the rule to kepping to the right, leaving the left free for whoever comes. That's it? Or is just an exageratted impression?

[@islamadam8502]

Generally speaking, in Cairo it's unacceptable to spit in public, yet in the desert where my military service was it was normal, as sand frequently enters one's mouth and one has to frequently spit it out 😅

[@EasyEnglishVideos]

I think that’s fair enough when you’re crawling around in the desert 🏜️ 😝

[@JamesLinton17]

Don't slurp your food while eating or lift the bowl to your mouth. It's considered rude in england but in east asia is considered culturally normal. I remember doing it at school and having other kids make fun of me

[@EasyEnglishVideos]

Ahhh man… I (Mitch) love a good ramen bowl slurp, it’s a luxury for at home in the UK 😅

In Egypt, especially the capital and its surroundings respecting the queue is necessary, today i skipped one and the cashier didn't even respond to me and while moving th queue i get some unpleasant looks from people !

[@EasyEnglishVideos]

Wow! So people actively treat you badly on queue jumping in Egypt? You can mostly get away without many repercussions here… apart from a few tuts and glares 😅

[@tulipliliaceae2308]

@@EasyEnglishVideos i didn't notice them ar all ! Emm but after tuts and glares can I continue in the queue or they make me back to the last person position ?

[@EasyEnglishVideos]

You might have someone tell you to get to the back, but in general, it's all passive aggression @@tulipliliaceae2308

Standing on the left of a tube station escalator! Big no no!

[@duygud.9603]

I personally consider it rude for the boy not to let his friend talk at all. For example, at 7:39.

[@garierbos]

Sorry, but I think you should have interviewed some people who could elaborate a little bit about the reasons which motivated people to be polite. I don't know if you already did one episode about "what is tabu in England. If not, could you?

Hiya, can your tell me, what is “tutting” mean? It has no meaning in Turkish.

[@EasyEnglishVideos]

It's a sign of disapproval in the UK... but it's meant to be subtle and passive-aggressive.

Oh, rude things are the same as Japan but our culture is about time, I guess we tend to get there before the time and it's not rude, we should do... I am Japanese but sometimes late in 10 minutes. Am I British?lol

thank you for asking about eating manners - chewing loudly or with an open mouth is the most disgusting thing in the world to me. Taking a shit in public wouldn't be as bad as that xD

Spitting is not considered rude where I come from but it should be outlawed all over the world and heavy fines should be applied! Also cutting a line (queue) should be illegal as well and people should be fined for not doing it! Also being later than 15 minutes is disrespectful and I am not even German but my soul must be! 😅

ALL British behavior is rude, save keeping reticent and ignoring and avoiding others as much as possible. Privacy is everything in such a crowded, increasingly sordid little island.

Japan is even better at queuing.

A lot of things that are culturally/socially acceptable in 🇬🇧 are actually not culturally/socially accepted in most countries. 😑 In terms of queuing, I have seen MANY Brits not doing it. In terms of being "terribly polite", a lot of it involves being passive-agressive.

[@marvwatkins7029]

Young Brits intentionally dress weirdly thinking that makes them hip, cool, and stylish. Newsflash: it doesn't
