Absolute musts for good manners

Unless you just don't give two shits about how you're perceived.

• Make eye contact with the receptionist/cashier/waiter/bellman. They're serving you and they're human.
• Leave a tip. If you must, complain to the person in charge.
• Use your blinker.
• Hold the door for the person behind you.
• Knock first, wait for an answer.
• Put the lid back on and put it back in the fridge/cupboard.
• Answer "yes" or "no thank you" to an invitation. "Maybe" is lame.
• Wait your turn.
• Offer to assist.
• Say "please" when you want something and "thank you" when you get it.
• Admit your mistake and say you're sorry.
• If you take the last sheet, replace the roll.
• Manage your language around kids, old folks, and people from whom you want something.
• Clean up your own mess.
• Say "hello" when you arrive and "goodbye" when you leave.
