The modern etiquette is not a terrible thing to follow. You just need to have what it takes and know the right rules to be always pleasant and excellent.
Sometimes we forget about the real things in life with all the distractions around us. It’s always nice when you see someone bring the right decision at the right place. However, there are a few people following the real “Bon-Ton Behavior.”
That’s why you have me and the other sources to show you the real meaning of life.
These rules will make your life more pleasant. Let’s not forget those people who are around you. They will feel the benefits of your modern etiquette as well.
The best thing is that you are going to make them feel uncomfortable for some of their actions. That’s how they will absorb behavior and apply it to their lifestyle.
It’s contagious and awesome!

As a conclusion, ladies and gentlemen, Jack Nicholson:
’I think much of decency. How to pass a plate. Not to shout from one room to another. Not to break a closed door open without knocking. Let a lady pass. The aim of these endless simple rules is to make a life better. We cannot conduct a permanent war with parents — it’s dull. I pay close attention to my manners. It’s not an abstraction, it’s a simple and comprehensible language of mutual respect.’

?#3- where are you suppose to put your handbag, surely not on the table or filthy floor???
Hello Benni, Thanks for the comment.
I can see your concern, but the best option for your handbag would be to hang it on the chair you are sitting. That’s how you’ll keep it out of the way and make it easier for you to reach and grab something from it.
