Knowing when to shut up. Not in a rude way, but in that ‘this isn’t worth it and I like peace more than being right’ kind of way. It’s saved me from so many arguments and unneeded stress.
When your computer has issues you should try, restarting the program, restarting the PC, and googling the error code before begging your slightly more tech literate friends to fix your crap
If you’re walking with your friends on a sidewalk and you meet someone going the other way, move over to share the sidewalk. Signed the person who usually gets pushed into the grass.
Spatial awareness. This is a bit broad, including stuff like not taking up the entire grocery aisle, staying in the right hand lane if you’re going slowly (walking or driving), stuff like that.
Don’t absolutely dominate a conversation, especially just talking about yourself and never asking questions.
I’ve moved to a larger city with more tech jobs and idk what it is but I’d say 1 in 5 people I talk to are just incapable of having a 2 way conversation. One girl won’t take a beat to breathe I feels like, the next guy will redirect every topic to himself and talk for 20 minutes straight.
I know it’s human to want to talk about yourself, tell stories, etc. but the amount of people I meet in a given week who just want to talk AT me is insane
Not every moment of silence needs to be filled with chatter. Not every moment of peace needs to be filled with activity. It is okay to be still and silent.
You are SIGNALLING your intention with a blinker, not informing someone of the action you are taking. It’s the other driver’s right of way you are entering, and they need to yield it.
Clean up after your dog, no matter what, even if he/she does their business on the edge of a sidewalk, in grass somewhere, next to a trail. It doesn’t matter, you still always need to clean up after your dog.
