「ソーシャル・ルールズ」とはあるけれど、good manners みたいな。ご興味あればどうぞ。（自動翻訳にかけました）
あなたの役に立つかもしれない、いくつかの社会的ルール
1. 相手に連続して2回以上電話をかけない。相手が電話に出ない場合は、何か重要な用事があるのだろう。
2. 借りたお金は、貸した本人が思い出したり要求したりする前に返すこと。あなたの誠実さと品性を示すことになる。傘、ペン、弁当箱(タッパーとか？)も同様。
3. 昼食や夕食をごちそうになるとき、メニューにある高価な料理を注文しない。
4. 結婚してないの？子供はいないの？どうして家を買わないの？どうして車を買わないの？といった、相手が居心地が悪くなるような質問はしない、あなたには関係ないことなんだから。
5. 後ろから来る人のために、必ずドアを開けてあげる。老若男女を問わず。人前で親切にしたからといって、自分が小人物に見えることはない。
6.友人とタクシーに乗り、今回その友人が支払ってくれたら、次回は自分が払うようにする。
7. さまざまな意見を尊重する。あなたには6点に見えることでも、他の人には9点に見えることがあることを忘れないで。それに、セカンドオピニオンは代替案として良いものだ。
8. 人が話している最中には決して口を挟むな。相手が話し出すのを待つ。相手が言うすべてを聞き、自分で情報を取捨選択する。
9. もしあなたが誰かをイジって、相手がそれを楽しんでいないようであれば止めて、二度とやらないこと。そうすることで、その人はもっと頑張ろうと思うし、あなたがどれほど感謝しているかを示すことができる。
10. 誰かに助けてもらったら「ありがとう」と言う。
SOME SOCIAL RULES THAT MAY HELP YOU:
1. Don’t call someone more than twice continuously. If they don’t pick up your call, presume they have something important to attend to.
2. Return money that you have borrowed even before the person who loaned it to you remembers or asks for it. It shows your integrity and character. The same goes for umbrellas, pens, and lunch boxes.
3. Never order the expensive dish on the menu when someone is treating you to lunch or dinner.
4. Don’t ask awkward questions like ‘Oh, so you aren’t married yet?’ Or ‘Don’t you have kids?’ Or ‘Why haven't you bought a house?’ Or ‘Why haven't you bought a car?’ For God’s sake, it isn’t your problem.
5. Always open the door for the person coming behind you. It doesn’t matter if it is a guy or a girl, senior or junior. You don’t grow small by treating someone well in public.
6. If you take a taxi with a friend and he/she pays now, try paying next time.
7. Respect different shades of opinions. Remember, what may seem like 6 to you might appear as 9 to someone else. Besides, a second opinion is good for an alternative.
8. Never interrupt people while they are talking. Allow them to pour it out. As they say, hear them all and filter them all.
9. If you tease someone, and they don’t seem to enjoy it, stop it and never do it again. It encourages one to do more and shows how appreciative you are.
10. Say “thank you” when someone is helping you.
11. Praise publicly. Criticize privately.
12. There’s almost never a reason to comment on someone’s weight. Just say, “You look fantastic.” If they want to talk about losing weight, they will.
13. When someone shows you a photo on their phone, don’t swipe left or right. You never know what’s next.
14. If a colleague tells you they have a doctor's appointment, don’t ask what it’s for, just say "I hope you’re okay." Don’t put them in the uncomfortable position of having to tell you their personal illness. If they want you to know, they'll do so without your inquisitiveness.
15. Treat the cleaner with the same respect as the CEO. Nobody is impressed by how rudely you treat someone below you, but people will notice if you treat them with respect.
16. If a person is speaking directly to you, staring at your phone is rude.
17. Never give advice until you’re asked.
18. When meeting someone after a long time, unless they want to talk about it, don’t ask them their age or salary.
19. Mind your business unless anything involves you directly - just stay out of it.
20. Remove your sunglasses if you are talking to anyone in the street. It is a sign of respect. Moreover, eye contact is as important as your speech.
21. Never talk about your riches in the midst of the poor. Similarly, don't talk about your children in the midst of the barren.
22. After reading a good message, consider saying "Thanks for the message."
APPRECIATION remains the easiest way of getting what you don't have.
