One should always be polite

On occasion you will encounter others that you do not agree with, it is important not to lower your standards and to keep ones head held high. This is not to be snooty or rude this is to be polite, kind and courteous and to show the world you are the better man.

To curse is to be rude

Swearing as your Mother will tell you is a no, its a no in all circumstances. By cursing you are merely showing that you have a distinct lack of vocabulary and an inability to express your thoughts appropriately. Furthermore it is rude and vulgar ,which is how people will remember you if you act in this manner.

Let others speak

You must always be courteous and let other finish what they are saying before adding your comments. To break this rule is a sign of poor social skills and a distinct lack of etiquette to both the person talking and to those that are listening. If however you want to be seen as rude and egotistical you may do so by interrupting others.

Do not spit

This should go without saying, however a great deal of men do this subconsciously. Spitting is horrid habit and to witness it only leads to instant disgust. Do not spit in public under any circumstances unless you want to look like you were raised in a sewer.

There is no need to shout

When a person speaks loudly or shouts, it does nothing but to raise the stress levels among your current company and of those who are in close vicinity. It implies that you are rude, show no consideration to others around you and that you cannot reason with others so you rely instead on brute force in order to get your point across. This will only draw negative attention towards you.

Do not lose your temper

By losing ones temper, you are simply showing the world that you cannot control your emotions and if you can’t control yourself then this implies that you cannot control anything else. It is important to remain calm at all times, on occasion this may prove difficult, however battle through it and people will take note of your level-headedness and admire you for it. Lose your temper and more fool you.

Do not stare

Ogling someone with unwanted attention is a vile act and women especially do not appreciate it. She will not admire you for it and he will find it the equivalent of psychological aggression which may lead them to believe you are attempting to intimidate them, which is always unacceptable behaviour.
