    ALWAYS wash your hands after using a restroom, regardless of whether or not you think you need to.

    Put your trolley back in the bay once you’re done with it. Don’t just leave it in the car park to wander freely

    Stay to the right when walking, especially in packed areas. Foot traffic just flows better if everyone is on the same page.

    Public restrooms are not a place to make or receive a phone call.

    Be kind. Treat others as fellow travelers with their own experiences, traumas, fears, and hopes that drive their behaviors.

    Don’t stand still right at the entrance or exit of a door—move to the side and let people pass. It’s just common courtesy.

    If someone is walking towards you and you’re in a group, your group should move to single file if need be to let the person by instead of staying shoulder to shoulder

    Put your shopping cart in a cart corral, not leave it in a parking space.

    Right lane is for slower traffic and cruising. Left lane is used for passing. If you’re driving slow in the left lane, you are an asshole.

    Men, lift the lid before pissing, put it done when done, AND FLUSH THE TOILET! Married 29 years and she finally had me trained!

    If someone turns down alcohol, just let it go. No need to push or make it awkward.

    If someone trusts you with their vulnerability – don’t ever weaponize it. Not in anger, not in jokes, not in “truth-telling” moments. Just… don’t. You don’t get to break what someone let you hold gently.

    Leave me alone.

    Don’t walk around and use speakerphone in public unless you have to. Nobody wants to hear your loud conversation.

    I’m not much of a gym guy but I’m getting older so I try to take care of myself. Don’t talk on the phone in the sauna. Even though I have headphones on I can still hear your annoying ass business call during my guided meditation. It’s the whole reason I dragged myself to the gym and you’re ruining it.

    Stand on the right side of the escalator and leave the left side clear for those in a hurry. Even if signs are posted, people should still be mindful of others’ time.

    If you make a mess in a public space, clean it up. Don’t leave it for the next person like it’s their job.

    Don’t criticize someone’s smile or laugh. It can make them feel self-conscious every time they’re happy, and that’s the last thing you want to do.

    Stop speaking on your phone especially on speaker in public spaces that are intimate: doctors office lobby, uber/taxi, etc

    If a toddler in your life plays pretend with you (pretend phone call, imaginary games etc) you play along with your whole heart

    Unspoken rules should be spoken, not everyone can read between the lines.

    Source: autistic guy in his 50s that had to learn a lot of unspoken rules the hard way, having spent a lot of his formative years utterly bewildered.

    You are not the center of the universe. Yes, the rules of civility apply to you also, you are not an exception.
