Ahhahahaha....that advice was from a Dilbert cartoon. Cracks me up. There are a lot of unwritten rules that are pretty well known by all, even if not followed by all. Doesn't everyone know you're supposed to wait for people to get off the elevator before pushing on? Or that you don't double-dip your chips at a party? Here are some lesser-known rules:
- Don't open chip bags once the conference call starts. And by all means, don't try to do it slowly.
- If your eyes accidentally meet the eyes of a stranger, break eye contact immediately.
- When someone makes the effort to park far away from the building entrance it's code for Don't Park Next to Them.
- If you hold the door open for someone and they don't say thank-you you are entitled to try and trip them.
- It's OK to wear a bikini in public but not your bra and panties that show the same amount of skin.
- The only acceptable answer to "How are you?" is "Good." Even if you sprained your wrist, the furnace died and your kid got detention. It's all good.
- Look different every day. If you look the same, everyone knows you didn't go home last night.
