Ever think about those old-school beliefs that have been passed down to us? Here are a few gems:

  • Shoes Off, Please: The moment you step into someone’s home, those shoes better come off. It’s like an unspoken rule of respect.
  • Watch ’Em Walk In: Dropping someone off? You don’t just wave and drive away. Nope. You stay put and make sure they get inside safely. It’s all about care.
  • Fill ‘Er Up: Borrowed someone’s car? You better return it with a full tank of gas. It’s like the ultimate sign of gratitude.
  • No Outside Clothes on the Bed: Sitting on the bed with your outside clothes? Big no-no. It’s like bringing the whole world’s dirt into your sacred space.
  • The Second Spot’s a Trap: Ever notice how people warn you about a “second location”? If the first spot didn’t work out, maybe it’s time to head home, not to another sketchy place.
  • How You Get Them, How You Lose Them: If you snatch someone up while they’re with someone else, don’t be surprised if they get snatched from you the same way.
  • Trust Babies and Pets: If a baby or a dog doesn’t vibe with someone, pay attention. They sense things we might miss.
  • Never Say Goodbye: We don’t do goodbyes. Instead, it’s always “See you later.” Goodbye, it feels too final.
  • Listen the First Time: If a man says he doesn’t want you, don’t make him say it twice. Take the hint and move on.
  • No Invite, No Show: If you didn’t get an invite, don’t force your way in. Respect boundaries and save yourself the awkwardness.
  • Mind Your Manners: If someone’s treating you to a meal, let them order first. That way, you don’t accidentally end up with the most expensive thing on the menu.
