What are the etiquette habits of the British in their daily lives?

In the UK, it is extremely rude to burp in public, but in some Asian countries, burping after a meal means you are satisfied with the meal and appreciate the hospitality. There are many places that are different, so let's take a look at some of the common behaviors that the British have in their daily lives, for no other reason than to "follow the customs.

One, queuing

British people almost have queuing compulsion, queuing up for everything, bus stops, cash machines, payment, as long as there is more than one person will be regular queuing up, do not cut into the queue, do not scramble not to catch up. People queue, bicycles, cars also queue, queuing up for the traffic light or waiting for straight cars to pass.

Two, "please" and "thank you"

British people from the beginning of the dolls pay special attention to say please and thank you, the teeth of the little baby in addition to speak "mom and dad In addition to "Mummy, Daddy", little babies who are learning to talk should be able to say "thank you". Young parents even give their children a piece of candy, must be "please" to start, "thank you" end. This is the way it is done between parents and children, and between husbands and wives, which is why in the British home, all day long, those "polite words" are always being spoken. This is true for all family members and even more so in other places. "Thank you" should be the most frequently said sentence by the British.

Three: "Sorry"

"Sorry" is also a word that the British say a lot, and it always feels like the British say sorry all day long. "The first thing you need to do is to get a good deal of money from the government, and then you have to pay for the money. If you're hit, don't really think it's someone else's fault, it's just a habit of courtesy.

Four, smile

This is a particularly good habit, walking on the road, shopping in the supermarket, waiting for public transport, whether it is a stranger, or next door neighbor, people will often face you with a smile, someone will greet "hello" or a generalization of today's weather. Don't be surprised, return a smile like a spring breeze.

Five, for others to open the door

The first person to enter the door will pull the door handle to the next person to open the door, the person who came in to replace the first person to continue to open the door for the following people, or the first person to wait for all the people to enter the door and then close the door. The general rule is that the young open the door for the old, and the men open the door for the women. Sometimes two people entering and leaving at the same time open the door for each other, depending on who is not polite enough to go first.

Sixth, yawning or coughing need to cover the mouth

I have seen my mother in the United Kingdom to cover the mouth of the little girl, because the little girl is yawning. You need to cover your mouth with your hand when yawning, sneezing or coughing, otherwise it's indecent and rude behavior. Also, you have to chew with your mouth closed when you eat, and you can't open your mouth to talk with food in it. In short, the mouth in addition to talking and laughing, other time is to "shut up".
