What are some unspoken rules of society?

When on an escalator stay on the right side, so my big ass can freely walk.

Never be that person with a cart full of groceries in the express lane.

If walking on a sidewalk, do not hog the whole damn walkway. Other people like to walk.

If you cook fish, please have febreze ready to mask the odor. Or just do not cook the damn fish.

Replace the roll of toilet paper if you use it all.

A lot of the decay in society can be attributed to people no longer respecting the unwritten codes of conduct and authorising themselves to behave in selfish, anti-social ways. Eg, give your seat to an older person on the train, control your children in restaurants or planes, don't crowd the sidewalk, etc. These are small things. But it escalates into things like the knife and acid attacks in the UK, the shootings in the US.

Do not stop immediately after going through an exit entrance, at the end of an escalator or stairway, or after completing a transaction at a cashier, vending machine, or kiosk - move it along, toots, and get the hell out of the way.

When walking on the sidewalk, don't wander from side to side like you're a police car slowing traffic on the freeway.

If you're walking a dog on a leash and someone is walking toward you, don't go to the opposite side of the sidewalk from the dog and stretch the least across the entire path. Move to the same side as the dog.

These are hilarious

Most organizations have policies and procedures. If you're not sure what they are, a quick glance at the employee handbook will inform you of the rules as well as the expectations for codes of behavior and ethics. The rule book provides you with a road map for navigating the system.

But almost immediately, you will notice that these may be formal rules for how the company operates, but not everyone follows them. In fact, the more attention you pay to the workplace dynamics, the more you will realize that there are many unwritten rules that no one tells you about. As a result, you are forced to discover them through trial and error, and in the process you can find yourself in a sensitive situation. It's up to you to figure out what all the rules are at your company to be successful.

Here are seven rules you need to pay attention to in order to survive and thrive in the workplace:

1. Written rule: It's a meritocracy.

Unwritten rule: Getting promoted is not just about who does the best job.

Politics and loyalty and favors play a large part in the decision-making process. At best, companies place 80% of their decision to promote based on performance and 20% on relationships and politics; more likely it's 50/50. What does it take to get promoted or hired in your company? Learn the rules to get ahead.

2. Written rule: We offer equal opportunity regardless of gender, ethnicity, race, sexual preference, or age.

Unwritten rule: If you are a white male, you most likely get compensated more and have the best chance of getting promoted.

Look at the organizational chart of your company. Is there an equal representation of gender in leadership? How diverse is the pipeline? Does it reflect the written or unwritten rule? Many organizations pay lip service to equal opportunity, but what is the reality? How committed is your organization to this rule?

3. Written rule: The organizational chart shows who has the power to make decisions.

Unwritten rule: Titles don't necessarily indicate power.

If you observe the dynamics, you will recognize that decisions are rarely made by one person. Many people influence decisions, and sometimes politics trumps titles. Don't assume that someone's position means that person has power. Look carefully to see who makes the decisions and who influences those decisions. These people need to be on your radar screen if you want to get ahead.

4. Written rule: The rules are the same for everyone.

Unwritten rule: There is a different set of rules for different people in different departments.

Your boss may have a different set of rules than someone with the same title in another department. If you've been told, "This is the way we do it in this department," that's a clue! You can't assume that everyone follows the same procedures. They may, in fact, have their own unwritten rules. It's important therefore to observe and tread carefully or you can stumble and break a rule that's sacred to someone.

There are no more rules. People are cunts. It's worse than ever and it's only going to get worse. Every single fucking day I try to get off the subway and some asshole or some cunt is barging on, with no consideration for me or fellow passengers trying to get off.

Oh, which brings me to - if you're on the subway during rush hour and you JUST need to stand by the door. Kindly move the fuck away from the door so others can enter and exit. Especially if you're a 250-lb fat frau who takes up half the entrance/exit. It's for entering and exiting, not your lazy fat ass. And no, it's not your "spot".

And yes, r57, what is with people walking left to right? Zig-zagging like they're roller skating.

Another unspoken rule, if you have TEN other elliptical machines or treadmills at the gym, use one of the empty ones which are not beside the lone occupant who is there already. What is with people and personal space?

Don’t stand close to me when I’m paying an ATM or payment screen.

In fact, don’t stand close to me at all, ever, if there's enough space not to. Along the same lines:

In an elevator, passengers are expected to distribute themselves to maintain maximum space between strangers. This is an unwritten but inviolable rule. If you break it, the other person/people in the elevator will think you’re a pervert, a mental case, or a foreigner who doesn’t understand Americans’ personal space needs.

If no one is standing next to the control panel in the elevator, take that position yourself and operate the door open button for the courtesy of exiting and entering passengers. Or, if the moron who IS standing there isn't doing it, hold your arm out so that the door won't open or close on people. Same with when you arrive at the bottom or top floor.

I'm with r136 - "The divider marks the beginning, not the end. As such its placement is the responsibility of the person who BEGINS unloading."

The reason I say this is that if you enter a line and there is no one behind you, then it is pointless to place the divider because another person may or may note get behind you. Whereas, if you enter the line and there is someone in front of you, you ALWAYS have to place the divider.

Responsibility for the divider ought to flow to the person who most frequently or always has to place it.

Don't run down the subway stairs simply because you hear a train coming or people are coming out of the subway stop. It isn't the last train of the day. Even better (or worse), don't run down the stairs and across the outside station platform with your phone covering your face. Somebody will trip you inside or outside the station platform, and you might end up hitting the third rail. The two cunts who did this (separately) this morning coming off the 6 train at rush hour deserve to be zapped off the earth.

Don't stand in front of doors.

What is it that people in public places standing in front of doors? Do you not think people need to get in and out of buildings just like you did?

The thing about many of these is that you used to be able to publicly shame people who didn't know how to behave in public. On the subway, you used to vocally tell people to move their ass out of the way, that they were impeding the flow of traffic. NOW, people get offended and angry if you tell them that they are in the way or not acting properly in public.

I fly a lot, so I'll keep mine to airplane unspoken rules.

1) Keep quiet. Do not have a long conversation at the top of your voice. You are less than 2-3 feet away from the rest of us. Everyone is now an unwilling participant in your conversation and I can still hear you through my earplugs or headphones. Same goes for loud music in your earphones.

2) Don't remove your shoes! It may be OK to take off your shoes to stretch them in your seat IF you have socks on. But no walking around the plane or having bare feet extend into aisles or other places.

3) Keep the shades CLOSED. The blinding light that comes in makes it difficult to rest or even see your laptop screen. If you must look out the window, crack it a little at the bottom - not a FULL open shade. Very rude.

4) You don't get 2 arm rests - pick one.

5) No full seat recline unless it's a 'sleep' flight - very early in AM, late at night or international.

6) If you're a late boarding number, don't clog up the boarding area - you most likely will have to check your bag. Be prepared to do so and it is necessary - don't complain.

That's all for now.

Of course you call out people for not acknowledging you opening/holding the door for them. The "You're welcome!" is the most obvious one but I like the way of r178.

If you are a driver ( I'm referring to mainly women) and want to pull out of a driveway and the person stops and lets you out, acknowledge the gesture instead of looking straight ahead. Also, to you women again, if someone is trying to pull out of a driveway, let that person do that by giving room. Don't deliberately pull up behind the car in front of you to prevent it, then look straight ahead as if you didn't know that someone was attempting to get onto the street. How about displaying common courtesy.

"Don't point out the bad manners of others. It's the ultimate in bad manners. Saying you're welcome as you allow the door to hit an ungrateful is to proclaim yourself a savage. She was wrong and you are doubly wrong for knowing it, acting on it, and then allowing harm. Instead, note her features for future use should she ever need a door opened again. Cut her off, if you can, note your mistake and politely say "after you" while you get behind her. This forces her to open the door for you, and to hold it, maybe even noting your existence in the process. A perfect, polite revenge."

I had this argument with an aunt I was left with when my parents went out of town. I don't abide by her advice often, but this was a nice little turnaround I often wanted to use. It's harder in a big city to be polite. I try to avoid eye contact and take the attitude that it's every man/woman/person for themselves.
