17 Ways to Not Be a Complete Git

There are plenty of web lists out there that will tell you how to do very specific things. You can learn all about shampooing your cat, organizing your pantry, and making intricate stained-glass VW Beetle ornaments???but how many resources are there to remind you how to be a decent person? These are the things we really need to know.

1. Learn how to use a public restroom correctly. News flash: it is NOT ok to neglect flushing in a public restroom, even if you fear the germs on the flusher handle.

2. Do not be a creepy date. This applies to men and women equally. We???ve all gone out with the weirdo who wants to move way too fast or who simply won???t accept it when you say you don???t want to see them again. Don???t be that weirdo.

3. Hold the door open for the person behind you. Some people think that other people will be offended if they hold the door open. These people were obviously raised by wolves. It is never rude to continue holding open a door that you have just passed through for the person directly behind you who is approaching the same door. In fact, you might say it is a little rude to let the door smack them in the face instead.

4. Don???t say the same phrase or punchline over and over, no matter how funny you think it is. (This is slightly more forgivable when you???re drunk.)

5. Don???t use your cellular phone while ordering a coffee, eating a meal, going through the checkout at a store, driving, or doing anything else that requires human interaction with people who are right in front of you.

6. When in a public place, people more than 5 feet from your group (or from you and your cell phone) shouldn???t be able to hear your every word. Use your polite voice, not your broadcast-everything-to-the-entire-establishment voice.

7. When grocery shopping, always leave enough room for other people to get by you in the aisle.

9. Instead of nonchalantly flipping your business card at people by way of introduction, try shaking their hand and introducing yourself.

10. No matter how compellingly luscious you find your perfume or cologne, it???s guaranteed that at least some other people will find it repulsive. Don???t bathe in it before going out.

11. Learn how to park your car. Taking up two or three spaces with your Hummer is not acceptable, even if you are ???just running in for a minute.???

12. Likewise for parking in handicapped spots if you???re not.

13. Don???t rabidly push your views on other people. The chances are that you???ll just make them stick even more strongly to their own inferior convictions anyway.

14. It is only acceptable to speak in kitty pidgin for a maximum period of two weeks after discovering LOLCats.

15. Understand personal boundaries, both physical and otherwise. Pushing your shopping cart into the backside of the person in front of you in line is a violation of personal space. Asking a complete stranger whether she dyes her hair is almost as intrusive.

16. Talking about biological functions in public? Not so considerate. Performing bodily functions in public? Even less so.

17. Be polite. It???ll get you a lot farther than you may think. In fact, being a good person and respecting other people - even when their opinions are different from yours - will get you a much better reaction than being rude and insulting.

2) Show off your rash.

3) Start a long, complicated joke, but forget the punchline. Spend the next five minutes mumbling to yourself and trying to remember it.

4) When someone else starts to tell a joke, finish it for them - badly.

5) Complain about the price of everything on the menu.

6) Call a waiter to your table by raising your arm high above your head and waving it wildly, just like a kid asking for the bathroom pass in school.

7) Order the messiest thing on the menu, and then eat it with your hands. Ribs are good for this.

8 ) In the middle of a meal and with a mouth full of food, pull out your handy Pocket-Sized Book of Manners, flip to a page marked with a Post-It, read it, and look relieved. Then carefully spit your food into your napkin and place said napkin in your pocket.

9) Bring your iPod and remain connected to it all evening.

10) Repeatedly steer the conversation back to religion, politics, or serial killers. Bonus points if you can include all three in the same conversation.

10) Spell interesting things with your food.

11) Text message the host of the party and ask them to ???rescue call??? you so you can escape from the horrible social engagement you got roped into.

12) Practice your ventriloquist act all evening.

13) Bring your resum?? or head shot and pass it out to everyone present - including the waiter and random people at the next table.

14) Show up late and leave immediately after you finish eating.

15) Loudly suggest to everyone that you ???make the night a little more interesting,??? drop your car keys into an empty bowl, and suggest that others do the same.

16) Ask for bites off of strangers??? plates.

17) Answer every statement with the phrase ???I know you are, but what am I????

18 )Do it in a Pee-Wee Herman voice if you???re particularly sadistic.

19) Wear so much cologne that your odor arrives at least 30 seconds before you do.

20) When someone you???ve just met starts to tell a personal story, roll your eyes and groan ???Ugh, not this one again.???

21) Smoke cigars. When you???re asked to put your cigar out, smoke two at once.

22) Use profanity whenever possible, especially when within earshot of children.

23) Try out all of the ringtones on your phone.

24) Play air guitar constantly.

25) Clip your fingernails at the table. Ideally, gather and arrange them on your plate.
