The etiquettes discussion thread

[mehran]

I agree, to admit one's faults is a positive aspect and can improve the person and the environment around him. Let's hope we can all manage to do that.

Asking people about the price of the product they bought, even if the person is not willing to tell.
For example, I bought a MacBook Pro. Everyone I met kept asking me it's price. I was a bit reluctant to tell it to them. They keep on asking and then guessing k 50 hazar? 1 lakh? 2 lakh? Upon saying k yes 2 lakh. Mehnga lia he. Isme aisa he bhi kya? Touch screen bhi nahi.

Meray bhai who are you to judge?
Same thing is happening with my recently bought car. "Kinnay di laii? City le lende. Civic le lende. XLi da apna ei maza ae"?

On a lighter note baat sahi ke hai civic lee leeni se!

On a lighter note baat sahi ke hai civic lee leeni se!

Sarkaar! meri jaib, mera paisa, meri priorities, meri zarurat. Mjhe pata he what's best for me and what's not. Affordability ka issue bhi ho sakta he. Though I don't need to explain myself. Civic is not everything. Everything has its pros and cons. If the person is satisfied from his purchase then why do people can't digest this fact and have itch in their asses?

PS: "On a lighter note and No offence" kehne se you don't get the license of bashing anyone. Saying this on a lighter note.

I actually liked youe purchase honestly, i myself chose an altis over the civic so that comment really amused me.

I think you get what I am tryin to say

Living abroad I have learned the following office etiquettes that may apply to outside office as well:1. Never boast about your experience or expertise, I have witnessed someone doing that who was highly disregarded for this action. 2. Always respect your co-workers and treat them equally: you can’t be great by degrading others.3. Never defend your mistakes, if you have done a mistake admit it to the concerned people and correct your mistake. People notice what you do, a lot of times in a professional environment they don’t say anything but they do keep in their head which eventually goes against you. 4. Never work after office hours, if something is unfinished, come back next day and finish it.5. Never ask someone’s salary, NEVER 6. Never ask someone where they worked and how many years of experience they have, that’s highly unprofessional. They can tell you if they want to you should never ask. 7. Never tell people what to do, they have lived their life upto this point so they are okay you don’t need to worry about them.

S55 that is a wealth of valuable experiences. Thanks for sharing. How I wish we Pakistanis have some work or business ethics.

Now a days, people stand/stop in almost middle of the road.

When greeting someone look into their eyes, smile and say Assalamu alaikum. If someone did this with you, your day would brighten up a bit... why not return the favour.

One thing which is not considered bad or un-usual nowadays. It is people banging their doors to other people's cars while opening. People give excuse that this is normal, I beg to differ.
Car moves on the road, you get stone chips, that's normal. Your paintwork fades overtime, that's normal. Someone hits you while driving that's accident and you have to accept it.

BUT YOU PARK YOUR GODDAMN CAR A GOOD 2-3 FEET AWAY AND THE IDIOT IN THE CAR BESIDES YOU WILL NOT GIVE A SINGLE F***.

I know for many it may sound too nitpicky but it is something which is easily avoidable still no one cares.

I always try not to park in a cramped space because whatever you do no body cares.

[capsat]

The worst is:

How much you paid for it? ohoo you've been robbed lot gai yar mashwara kar leya hota ...

Road ki middle lane me apne se agay wali car ko dipper (high beam) maarna to give you way.. 🧐🤣

I always keep my phone silent no matter where I am. I believe its not polite at all that a mobile phone which is personal to each person is ringing and disturbing other people. Vibration is good enough way to alert for a call and LED indicators are enough to tell if there is a message or notification.

Hold the door for other people when you see someone coming no matter men, women or children; give all of them equal respect.

Smile when you see people in the office and say hello.

This is the most annoying part. You park miles away and someone will still manage to park besides you.

+1. I believe everyone should also use Door Edge Guard Rubbers for protection. I use the same and it minimises damage just in case of accidental hits.

They are usually readily available in black and silver colour.

I think its very important to keep the internet on at all times, gone are the days when people use to SMS and calls are not feasible for everyone especially when communication is between people in different countries. Messages on whatsapp are as important as an SMS and call, and SMS is not reliable, the other person might never receive it and you won't know if they did, while on the whatsapp, as an example, you know the status of your message. So keep internet on, in my opinion, and keep the phone on silent at all times with vibration and LED indicators on and near you so you know when you have messages and can see at your convenience.

I try to park next to a pillar.
And also avoid parking next to small cars because majority of them dont care.

I literally try to find the newest car in the lot and park next to it hoping that the owner will be careful.

Use the DO NOT DISTURB mode. Adjust the setting according to your desireable timings.
Another bad habbit is people tend to show off their phone. Use it when u r alone or excuse people and go to side to use it. It feels bad when one is talking to u and u are busy in texting or scrolling .
