The New Rules For Etiquette
The Cut has over 100 “new rules for etiquette.” Here are a few…
• You may callously cancel almost any plans up until 2 p.m.
• Never wake up your significant other on purpose, ever.
• While on a date, if you find you’re talking a lot, ask yourself, When was the last time I asked a question?
• When another human is present, don’t talk to your animal in the private voice you use when alone together.
• Never send an Edible Arrangement.
• It’s okay to ghost after one date.
• It’s okay to email, text, or DM anyone at any hour.
• If you’re in the office, you’re wearing shoes.
• You can discipline your friends’ kids, but not a stranger’s.
• Tell your guests what time you plan to sit down for dinner at a dinner party. (Example: “The party starts at 7:30, we’re sitting at eight.”)
• Even when a kids’ party says “no gifts,” you’re supposed to bring a gift.
• If someone’s baby is crying in public, you don’t need to stare at them.
