SUMMARY
-You should shake someone's hand quickly without holding it for too long or pulling it toward you. Don't use a crushing grip, but be firm.
-If you find it hard to be punctual, learn some tricks to avoid being late. For example, prepare everything you'll need to take with you in advance, and put these items in a specific place. Try to predict any delays that might happen.
-The rules of common courtesy say that there should always be a mediator present when 2 people meet for the first time.
-The right clothes can boost your confidence and make a good impression on others. Don't buy clothes with imperfect shoulders. All parts of a suit should be the same style and in the correct size. A jacket sleeve should cover your wrist, but it shouldn't cover the lower joint of your thumb.
-Wait until the host invites you to the table. Don't sit down at the table without an invitation because there may be a seat assigned to you. Pay attention to your hands, and don’t put them on the table. It’s better to keep them in your lap.
-Keep your knees close to each other and your legs parallel. You can also use a royal trick called the “Cambridge Cross": put one foot behind the other, crossing your ankles.
-If you go to a restaurant with a group of people, wait until everyone has taken their seats. Typically, you should start your meal with the utensils farthest from your plate. After that, move toward the center.
-For women, it's important to make sure that your lipstick doesn't leave a mark on your glass. Dry your lips with a tissue before drinking. Every person at the table should pour their own drink.
-Stir your tea carefully without making sounds with the teaspoon.You shouldn't leave your spoon in the cup. Rest it on the edge of your saucer.

As im in army I know all of this stuff.and you are doing such good stuff by telling people about these things.

[marilynthusberg]

This is the reason why I don't go out with other people. I came from a poor family and just nice to everyone without remembering so many dos and don'ts.

Thank you for your help in teaching us what we forgot or never was taught.
The lady sitting, is correct in her position. My comment is a thanks for not comparing to the Queen. She has always been correct, doesn’t need to be teased, just because you don’t know.
Reminds me of Miss Manners.
More, more!

I've basically lived by these etiquette since I was young. I don't follow it all the time, but it's actually nice to know there are other people like me😊 you'd never know when you'd need 'em😙

I tried the knife and fork positioning on the plate when I was at Golden Coral. Oddly, it went unnoticed.

Hi BRIGHT SIDE, you might want to have a look at cultural differences, some of the mentioned etiquettes - such as the hands off the table or the handshake, differ between countries, a mention of that could be a nice addition in my opinion :)

[johanamarin]

Yes, these rules are very important to know

So pleased I was brought up with manners and etiquette.

1:49 Never forget to introduce others! A certain of person I know never does this, so I have to introduce myself when the new person asks who I am, or when I have to tell my 'friend' something. :|
2:55 There's a saying for the buttons on men's jackets. "Sometimes, always, never." If it's a three button jacket the top button can be however you want, the middle button is always done, the bottome button is never done. IIRC for a two button jacket it's "always, never" but I could be wrong.

I'll just leave a spoon in my mouth, after I'm finished eating and wave at the waiter with my fork for more food, lol.

Etiquette is something I was bought up with and I'm really pleased to be able to pass it down to my children and grandchildren.
You don't have to follow it all the time, however it is good to know when you are in polite company :-)

My parent's taught my sibling's and I etiquette, as did our grandparent's. I learned how to use it better, when I was made protocol officer or something like that... I had been in AFJROTC. We would have banquet's for awards that I don't recall, if I ever won one. However, the school photographer took my photo with some of my then fiance friends around me. The question in the album asked, if I was a princess or future president and it was eerily correct about me being a Royal Princess.


My dad's relative in the 16-1700's married a member of the Queen's family making me a British Royal having been born in the UK. My birth certificate I held with the Attorney General, as where all Royal birth certificates are held. I was shocked to find out, although the registrar didn't title me a princess, he put it on paper with a lion on it recognising the significance of my dad's name. Now, I understand why I've been treated better, since finding out. My title is on the Electoral register.


As it is now on the Electoral register, it is appropriate for me to use my title on my documents and such to identify that I'm amongst the Royal Family and potentially on my mum's side, too. The name Potter is prevalent in both side's of my family that is significant, also as there is something about the name and my Royal Jewish heritage. So, as a Royal living as a Commoner ; I know you must be polite and courteous at all times, even when ill.

I tried to remember all of these configurations for placing my silverware on my plate the last time I went to a nice restaurant, and somehow my knife and fork cussed out the server and I was kicked out of the restaurant.

Men always break my hand when they shake it. Somebody needs to watch this...

[jacquiwhitehouse]
