Rules of conduct in public places

Today it is rare to see a picture when, standing near open door, the two persuade each other: ʼʼPlease͵ come inʼʼ - ʼʼNo, please͵ you go throughʼʼ. Usually, when we are let in front, we pass without undue ceremony. And, in principle, this is correct.

Traditionally, the man lets the woman go first; the younger makes way for the older; subordinate to the boss. Of two people of equal age, occupying the same position, the one closest to the door passes first.

If you have two-leaf balancing doors in front of you: the woman walking in front takes the handle of the right wing and pulls it towards her, the man standing behind her intercepts the handle and holds the door, the woman passes, the man follows her. The left wing of the door should be left at the disposal of people walking towards.

In case you brought a guest to the house. The hostess enters first, followed by the guest. If the host is a man, the guest enters first. Well, what if he doesn't know the way or it's dark outside the door? In this case, the host enters first, saying: ʼʼLet me walk youʼʼ or: ʼʼPlease͵ follow meʼʼ. The same should be done if the guest is a woman.

When it is extremely important to lead a particularly respected person through an institution or apartment where several doors come across on the way, politeness requires the person meeting you to behave as follows: open the door, let the guest in, then slightly outrun him in the direction of the next door, open this door, let the guest in , again a little ahead, open the next door and skip.

Do not shout out from your seat ͵ if you suddenly do not understand something during the lecture. AT best case raise your hand, and if the lecturer deems it necessary to interrupt his presentation, he will answer your question. The best place for discussion is the seminars.

It is the teachers who report to the group leaders about seminars, various events, distribute developments for seminars, as well as coveted questions for tests and tickets for exams.

If the circumstances are different, the woman goes ahead. When descending, the man goes first, followed by the woman.

In the event that someone politely makes way for you as they pass by, either bow slightly or say: ʼʼThank youʼʼ. If you are on a narrow staircase and you are walking towards old man, boss or lady, you need to stop and take a small step to the side, letting the walker pass.

Hosted on ref.rf
In the elevator, as in any other place, we greet those whom we always greet.

In a crowded public elevator, a man does not take off his hat, even if he accompanies a woman. In the elevator of a residential building or a residential type hotel, he will probably take off his hat when a woman enters, if his hands are not busy with packages.

In automatic elevators, a woman, if she is traveling without an escort, presses herself desired button. The man in the elevator, if he is standing close to the panel, asks the others (especially women) what floor they need, and presses the buttons. In full elevators, well-mannered people step aside or step out for a while to allow those standing behind to get out. In the elevators of the service buildings, the men stand aside, allowing the women to enter unless they are accompanying them.

The man accompanying the woman allows her to enter the ascending escalator first, unless for some reason he needs to get up and help her down. On occasion, he usually gets off the escalator first to help the woman if she stumbles.

Score

The modern rhythm of life requires us to quickly and clearly react. But we visit the store almost every day, and the purpose of the visit is not always a purchase. We go to the store to look at new arrivals, ask the price, get advice on the product we are interested in.

At the door of a store or institution, first let those leaving, and only then we enter ourselves, so you will not cause the formation of a “traffic jam” inside the premises. In large stores or other mass service establishments, a man may not take off his hat.
Hosted on ref.rf
At the same time, where the client is served individually, it is useful not to forget to take off your hat during the time and say hello to those who will deal with you.

When making a purchase in a store, it is useful to remember not to tire the seller with petty whims or protracted indecision. Approaching the checkout, you need to have at the ready the approximate amount of money needed for the purchase, and not look for them in your wallet or pockets at the last moment. You should not hesitate and counting the change.

Table manners.

You need to come to visit at exactly the appointed time, 10-15 minutes late is allowed. The hosts are invited to the table 30 minutes after the time indicated in the invitation. The men accompany the ladies, offering them right hand move the chair further, seated, and only then sit down themselves, according to left hand from the lady, and if the table is small, then opposite. If it is in a restaurant - a man serves a woman's menu to choose dishes for himself, then he chooses for himself. A woman can grant the right to choose men for herself, but a man makes an order himself.

Drinks and the first hot dishes are served on the right, all other dishes on the left. They start drinking after the toast is said. The men eat after they start, the ladies eat. The man pours wine to the lady on the right, with his left hand. In case you spilled something - do not stew - the tablecloth can be wiped with a napkin, the crumbs can be collected in a napkin.

If the device (fork, knife) has fallen, ask to bring another one. Combing hair, powdering, fixing makeup at the table is unethical. Do not talk at the table through 1-2 people. Leaving the table just like that before the end of the meal is also not necessary. The hosts should get up from the table, seeing that all the guests have already finished eating.

Appearance students

The choice of various items of clothing depends on the tastes of a person, his figure, age. financial opportunities and social position.

You need to constantly control yourself so as not to make rash purchases and always figure out whether new item clothes in style, material and color to the things we already have, is it possible to wear it with other things? Considering this, it is possible to save good mood, time and - money!

The most important rule is the following: you need to dress in such a way that the clothes emphasize the individuality of the person.

And the second rule: it is better and more profitable to have a few expensive and reasonably selected, purchased on for a long time things than to buy cheap things of poor quality, which quickly lose their appearance.

clothing

The culture of a person is primarily emphasized by his clothes. Tastefully chosen clothes and a neat appearance make a person confident, collected, energetic and, in the end, more attractive to others.

A mirror and household scales are the best advisers for those who strive to look elegant. Do not believe a mirror hung obliquely, it, however, favorably hides excessive fullness, but still does not give an objective idea of ​​​​our present appearance. The mirror should be hung vertically. It is able to tell everyone: whether he looks neat and fashionable enough, whether his appearance and toilet match the upcoming exit.

At the same time, that external, superficial neatness of a dress or full dress, which we note with pleasure when looking in the mirror, is far from the most important thing. Our body and everything we wear must always be immaculately clean, the most resplendent elegance of full dress will crumble to dust at the very moment when a dirty handkerchief appears from the pocket. Hair should always be clean and shiny. Men should shave daily, brunettes even twice if they have to go out in a dark suit in the evening.

It is important not only that everything is clean, but also hemmed, buttoned, ironed. Shoes should be cleaned even in rainy weather, shoes are often ʼʼblurredʼʼ that the dirt on them is the day before yesterday.

Practically, with the exception of a sports trip, you cannot go anywhere without a jacket. For the summer it is very handy to have a cotton suit. When visiting relatives, you can ask permission to take off your jacket, at other receptions we wait for the opportunity to be offered by the owner himself.

The suit requires a tie. It is only optional for colored or sports shirts.

In a formal setting, the jacket is buttoned up. In a buttoned jacket, one should enter the apartment of acquaintances, a restaurant (especially in the company of a woman), an office for a meeting, and a theater auditorium. The jacket must be buttoned up if you are sitting at the presidium at the table or making a presentation. The same is true when dancing.

You can unbutton your jacket buttons during dinner or while sitting in theater chairs. The bottom button of a jacket is never fastened.

The candidate wears a dark suit to defend his dissertation.

A shirt and a tie with a beautifully tied knot are required for the suit.

Etiquette requirements allow greater freedom in choosing clothes during the summer or winter holiday, holidays that you spend either in the country or in the rest home. Knitted things are just appropriate here, soft, warm, fluffy, creating an atmosphere of home warmth and comfort.

Clothing in and of itself is not just beautiful. Its beauty lies in its purpose - for work, at home, for a holiday, for a country walk. Elegant clothes get along only with an elegant owner who has an appropriate posture, owns good manners and beautiful speech.

Time does not stand still, and therefore recommendations are not an inviolable dogma, they can change. But a person who finds himself in new circumstances that are not provided for by advice and rules, to do this and not otherwise, is helped by a sense of tact, an awareness of the true meaning of the culture of communication.

On the street Naturally, all citizens must comply with traffic rules that ensure the safety of pedestrians and drivers. Pedestrians are required to use the sidewalk, not the carriageway, to cross the street only in permitted places at the green traffic light. On the sidewalk, you should follow a certain order: keep to the right side in the direction of your movement. Especially in the morning and evening, so that there are no collisions of oncoming human flows when people rush to work and then rush home.

All pedestrians have a different speed of movement. Educated people, overtaking others, try not to offend them. If they accidentally push someone, they immediately apologize: “sorry”, “sorry”. These words of courtesy allow you to smooth out the inconvenience caused by accident.

You can't stop for a conversation in the middle of the sidewalk. This is a manifestation of disrespect for other pedestrians who are forced to bypass the interlocutors standing in their way. If you want to talk, you should step aside.

In the street, a man is supposed to walk to the left of a woman; if two men are walking, then the one who is younger is walking on the left. If there are three, then the woman or the oldest goes in the middle. If four are walking together, it is better to split into pairs; women or older ones go ahead.

It should always be remembered that a well-mannered person on the street:

Does not litter, does not spit, does not point a finger;

Do not yell at children;

He doesn’t walk on lawns, on the left side of the sidewalk, he doesn’t throw bits, he doesn’t spit out bones, he doesn’t eat on the go.

It is generally accepted that a man can smoke on the street, although according to strict rules of good manners, this should be avoided. But smoking a woman on the street is the first indicator of the lack of culture in this lady.

Compliance with the most important rules of conduct with strangers- a sign of respectability, good breeding, self-confidence. There are a number of rules for people traveling on train, boat, plane. A long journey is conducive to a leisurely conversation. You have to be able to lead it. First of all, one should not abuse the attention of fellow travelers, do not strive to take possession of all sides of the conversation, do not be overly talkative: talkativeness is a sign of bad taste, the other extreme is isolation.

The rules of conduct in all modes of transport are almost the same. The difference is only in the observance of certain conditions at the entrance and exit. Old people, disabled people, women with children should be assisted in boarding transport if they need it. When leaving the vehicle, especially in winter, when it is slippery on the street, such people should stretch out their hand, trying to support the exiting person under the elbow. It is necessary in the subway, in the train to give way to old people and women.

In all types of public transport, excessively loud laughter and conversations are unacceptable, both among themselves in a company and on a mobile phone. If you get a call and need to answer urgently, try to speak in a low voice and very briefly. It should be remembered that you are not alone and next to you are people whom you cause inconvenience with your loud conversations.

visiting theatre, it is necessary to observe a number of rules of etiquette. In no case be late, because arriving at the last minute, you interfere with those who have already taken their seats. At the entrance, a man or the youngest of the companions submits tickets.

A man takes off his headdress, entering the theater building and in the coat closet. Only then does he help his companion take off her coat. When leaving the theater, the man also first dresses himself, after which he gives the coat to his companion. He puts on his headdress only at the door when leaving.

When passing to his place, the man goes first. If people are already sitting in a row, then you should go to your place facing the people sitting, with your back to the stage. Be sure to apologize to people for causing concern. It is indecent to talk during the performance, to rustle with candy wrappers. People who have a cold should stay at home, because. coughing, blowing your nose interferes with both the audience and the actors. You should not rush to the wardrobe until the action is over. In the theatre5 it is customary to applaud not only at the end of a performance, but also after the end of each act, at the end of a brilliant scene or aria, sometimes upon entering the stage. famous actor. When the conductor and soloists appear, if the performance is musical.

Do not turn on the TV at full power in the evening and at night;

Do not speak loudly in the corridors;

In case of a late return or early rise, try to make as little noise as possible.

The rules of human society require that each person in his relationships with others show respect, sensitivity, concern for their comfort, so that all his behavior is permeated with a high sense of tact. Outwardly, this is expressed in the observance of certain rules of conduct at work, at home, at a party, in public places. Let's dwell on the latter.

Cultural norms of behavior in public places developed over the centuries. Some rules that were previously considered important (for example, it was considered indecent for a girl to go out into the street without being accompanied by elders, etc.) are discarded as not meeting the new social conditions and style of modern life. Only those norms and rules of cultural behavior are preserved that express mutual respect, equality, camaraderie and make common life people more comfortable, joyful, cultured.

The first contact with strangers occurs when leaving the house. You should always walk along the street so as not to interfere with those walking towards you. Sometimes several people walk down the street in a row, often even arm in arm, while occupying the entire sidewalk, so that those walking towards them have to get off onto the pavement in order to bypass this “company”. Well-bred three of us will never walk arm in arm along the sidewalk or the paths of the park. If two of them walk hand in hand, the third should always go freely, so that if necessary, take a step back or go forward and let other passers-by pass by.

When meeting on the street with acquaintances, if you stop to talk with them, you should never crowd near the doors of a store, institution, or in the middle of the sidewalk. In order not to disturb others, you need to stop at the edge of the sidewalk. If only one of the members of the company is interested in a conversation with an acquaintance, then it should not be delayed, but an appointment should be arranged at another time so as not to force your companions to wait for the end of the conversation.

On the street, it is not recommended to talk loudly, especially on intimate or family topics, so as not to attract the involuntary attention of others to household chores and disputes. You should also not talk across the street or with those looking out of the windows of the upper floors.

When making his way through the crowd, a man or a teenager should go ahead in order to clear the way for a woman or an older person. Never force your way, but politely ask to be let through. If you happen to accidentally offend someone, never forget to apologize.

At the entrance to a store, an apartment, and a room in general, women, children, and older persons are let through.

When meeting acquaintances on the street, men and younger ones bow first, but the woman or elders are the first to give their hand. When meeting outside the home, acquaintances always say hello, even if they have already seen each other that day. When greeting, a man always raises his headdress (cap, cap, hat), and a woman tilts her head slightly. Only in winter, when it's cold, does a man say hello without taking off his hat. A man should never greet with his hand in his pocket or a cigarette in his mouth.

Cultured people never throw used tickets or papers on the floor or in the street in a non-bin; do not allow this to be done both by their own and other people's children.

It is still not uncommon to see how children and even adults break branches of trees and bushes, not thinking about how much work and care it takes to care for plants, and that green spaces serve everyone.

When boarding a carriage, young people should let women and the elderly go ahead, and not try to be the first to take best places. And in the carriage itself, one should always give way to the weaker, the sick, the elderly.

Wrong do those adults who allow children with legs to climb on seats or kneel on them at the window, forgetting that the dirty shoes of children stain the clothes of other passengers

You should not behave noisily and cheekily in the car. Sometimes young people, returning with a company from school or from work, talk loudly in the car, laugh, push, do not take into account the fact that this may disturb others.

If you need to get off, you need to advance to the exit of the car in advance, apologizing and gradually changing places with passengers who are traveling further.

Tact and courtesy must also be observed when attending concerts, theater, cinema, dance evenings.

At a concert, a performance in the hall must be completely silent. Only in this way is a connection established between artists and spectators, which is so necessary for both. Unfortunately, there are still ill-mannered people who, during the performance of the program, whisper, fidget, creak their chairs, laugh, preventing others from listening and watching. During the performance of numbers, latecomers should not rush into the hall and take their place. You have to wait for the number or scene to end. You should go to your seats in such a way as to disturb others as little as possible, and politely apologize if you still have to disturb someone.

Some viewers sometimes rush to the performances right from work without having time to eat, and during the performance they begin to eat sandwiches taken with them, rustle paper. In order not to disturb the neighbors, you should have a snack only during intermissions.

It is tactless and insulting towards the artists and the public when some spectators, without waiting for the end of the performance, get up and squeeze to the exit, trying to be the first to get clothes in the wardrobe. It is supposed to sit quietly in their seats until the concert is completely over, the performance and the artists come out to greet the public. Hurry and hustle when leaving the hall and in the wardrobe are completely unacceptable.

At the cinema, men sometimes prevent those sitting behind from watching a movie, forgetting to take off their hats. Women are not recommended to wear wide-brimmed or too high hats in such cases. Young children should not be taken to screenings for adults, for whom this film is incomprehensible, and therefore they are not able to sit still until the end. With their weeping and impatient requests to leave, they interfere with other viewers. Cultural people always take care not to cause trouble to others by their behavior and actions.

At dance parties, young people often do not know that inviting a girl to dance should be done with a slight bow, and not just by taking her hand or beckoning with a movement of her fingers, a nod of her head. After the dance, the girl should not be left in the middle of the hall, she should be escorted to the place and thanked for the dance with the same bow.

Finally, you must strictly monitor your speech, do not allow obscene or vulgar words and expressions that offend the hearing of others.
