教养：有什么让自己更有礼貌的注意事项

What are some “rules” to being classy?Bretton Palm, Lifelong devotee of Miss MannersHere are a couple:When it comes to bathroom functions, less is more. Phrases like “I need to pop in the restroom” and “I’ll be back in just a moment” are very classy.When you burp, follow it with a surprised “Excuse me!” at the same volume level as the burp.Always be charitable in your assumptions of others. That person didn’t deliberately shove you - it was an accident.Carry a pack of Kleenex and hand sanitizer with you. The Kleenex should be in your back pocket if you have one.Never put food directly on your desk at work - use a napkin, plate or tissue.Don’t sit on desks or counters.Say “Roger - will do” when given correction.Whenever someone brings a wardrobe flaw to your attention (belt missing a loop, shirt inside out), say “Thanks - I’d rather know than not know” and fix it discreetly.Cultivate a social smile like politicians do.Use euphemisms instead of cussing and swearing.Be able to laugh at yourself.
