A lot of times these kinds of things fly straight over my head. I'm probably not at the age where letting people know how old I am really matters, nor do I really care how much people make to really make a negative judgement. What are some of these "rules" that people have made that you really find pointless or feel strongly about. Haha, yeah I've made my fair share of mistakes and I would love to develop a sense for these things, rather than encountering them one by one.

Don't call a girl old. Similarly, agreeing with a friend's mother that she shouldn't be out drinking so late is bad.

Most fashion faux pas seem fairly pointless in the general scheme of things (assuming they're a subset of social faux pas).

i hate how some girls assume any comment you make on their body always can be construed as "fat" (i guess this falls in with the rule "don't call a girl fat/ugly" but way more extreme)

me: hey, you look nice today.
girl: so are you saying i was fat yesterday?
me: ...

Speaking french are we?

Um, try reading books on social dynamics. Most people pick this stuff up automatically through social conditioning though. You don't come across as the autistic type, but what do I know.

Perhaps I should clarify. There is information or subjects that I really have no problem discussing but others do such as age, salary, politics, but I assume that is mostly due lack of bad experiences with this matter.

I have neither shame nor manners, but I am trying. I seriously lack experience in a professional more conservative environment that I feel is increasingly rare these days.

To InsideTheBox- No, I don't consider fashion to be a part of the discussion.

To Foucault- You seriously think I'm being pretentious using faux pas? Anyway, to reiterate, I don't have much experience where discussion borders any dangerous subjects. Btw, don't talk to me like that.

Anyway this thread is going nowhere. Sorry I made it.

the rules that are stupid are the dining rules:

chew with your mouth closed, elbows off the table, i mean, wtf man.

people who say that to me, i have always caught them chewing with their mouths open.

and if i didn't, don't look into that small hole called a mouth. also i hope my elbows on the table isn't hurting the table (cuz elbows are sharp and pointy) and i definitely dont want to flip the whole table either.

It's not seeing the food, it's hearing your fucking smacking that's annoying. It's so irritating hearing people chew their food. Quit being a slob.

I always forget to call my parents that I'm all right when I arrive in a different country and I am often a little late on an appointment, since I hate being too early...

I also hate it when other people are early on an appointment with me, but it is apparently a faux pas to complain about it
