Social Rules Learnt By Mr. Awkward. (Part 1)

I'm quite socially awkward. As such, I had to learn through trial and error what is socially correct and what's just not in good taste.


1. Never ever push food off a person's spoon. Especially if you don't really know the person. Cause this is rude.

Now in some cases this might be ridiculously funny. Understood, but in some other cases, this would probably label you as a barbaric Philistine whose mother never taught him some manners.


2. Do not call people "gay". It's just not a good idea.


3. Never look at a person's food when they are eating or cooking. They will feel obligated to invited you to eat, even when they don't really want to share their food. This may all seem like complete common sense, but when you're hungry...


4. Don't bother debating about matters of taste. It all ends in tears.

Screaming Justin Bieber/Edward Cullen/Beethoven is as dumb is a doornail will probably end in yelling matches. Children have cried over this.


5. Try to keep a calendar of who you're meeting up for appointments. If you don't, it's likely you'll arrange two things at the same time which results in instant GG.

Happens to me ALL THE TIME. That's why I keep a calendar.


6. Never ask a girl her age.

 Now I know this seems like me trying to look all goody-two-shoes and old fashioned, but its not. Thing is, if you ask a girl her age right off the bat, she'd probably think you're making a pass at her. Never a good thing.


7. Save all arguing for after you eat.

Do you really want to argue when you're on gorging nourishment? Save it after dessert. Everyone will be happy!


8. In matters of politeness, the hierarchy should look like this. Grandmas (grandparents), Ma Mas (parents), Ladies (the girls), peeps (yo hommies).
