Etiquette and Manners: Third List: Some More Additional Manners

Some More Additional Manners

• Keep your mobile phone on vibrate or silent mode when attending a meeting, conference, training seminar or watching a movie or play in a multiplex or a theater or while being in a hospital or school etc. If you receive any urgent emergency call on the mobile and you need to contact the caller urgently, sneak outside the venue without disturbing others present and revert to the caller.
• Also, under the above-mentioned situations, restrict your movements inside the venue or do not chitchat with others.
• Do not use irritating, annoying and loud ring tones. Never ever use the crying baby or barking dogs types of ring tones on your mobile.
• Even if the organization where you work allows you to wear casuals in the office, select decent T-shirts/tops and jeans. Do not wear tattered jeans despite these being in fashion at times. Always wear well washed and well pressed clothes. When you need to attend meetings with bosses of your organization or with professionals of outside organizations, putting on formals is desirable.
• Even if your organization permits you to eat your lunch box in your work place, do not do it. Go to your organization's canteen or cafeteria to eat your lunch box. During the office time, do not eat smelly food.
• Do not gossip openly and on issues that should not be gossiped about.
• Do not waste your time in rest rooms and near the water coolers in the office.  
• Do not waste your time in your work place and also do not visit the work places of your colleagues just to pass time.
• Open the door of car, elevator and office entrance for you colleague, whether female or male, if she or he is carrying heavy loads.
