How Much Do You Know about Etiquette?

1. At a dinner table, I always pass the salt and the pepper together even if I am asked for only
the salt.
2. During dinner, when I am supposed to pass the meal, I pass it in a counterclockwise direction.

3. When I take the breadbasket, I first offer to the person on my right and then the one on my
left before I take a piece of bread for myself.

4. While stirring my tea to dissolve sugar or honey, I don’t stir it in a clockwise direction. The
motion should be from 6 to 12.
5. Having dinner with my friends, I never put my elbows on the table as it may rock the table,
and speak my mouth full.

6. I always carry my bag on my left shoulder or arm or mobile phone in my left hand to leave
my right hand free for handshakes.
7. When one of my friends invites me over to his or her house, I never go there empty-handed,
and always try to take a gift with me.

8. Unless I expect an urgent call, I never talk on the phone on buses, trains, and planes in order
not to disturb others. Instead, I prefer texting.
9. When the bus reaches the bus stop, I always let people get off first and then I get on.

10. When talking to a stranger, I avoid saying ‘yeah’ or ‘yep’ and address them as ‘madam’ or ‘sir’.
