1. Dinner time is for dinner, not cell phones. Put away the phone and try to enjoy the company of those around you.
2. Ask before you touch someone’s pet. Some animals do not like being approached by strangers. Make sure you get the go-ahead before making your move.
3. Offer to take your shoes off when you enter someone’s home. Nobody likes a dirty carpet.
4. Use the left lane only when you are passing. Keep to the right lane unless you are actively passing someone. Note: this only applies to countries who drive on the right side.
5. Always bring a bottle of something to the party. Don’t be a freeloader.
6. Never keep a free ride waiting. If somebody is going out of their way to do you a favor, do not inconvenience them.
7. If you are the first one awake, be quiet about it. Let them sleep in. They deserve it.
8. Don’t give unsolicited criticism. Openly judging people won’t make you any friends.
9. Always offer your visitors a drink. Be a gracious host.
10. Never cancel dinner plans via text message. The least you can do is call. Also be sure to give them a reason. They deserve that much.
