public-restroom etiquette

What we should all practice when visiting da "little boy's room" or "little girl's room".
"Top ten" public-restroom etiquette rules:
(1) Only stay as long as necessary, so dat other "in a hurry" folks can relieve themselves A.S.A.P. --- just "do your business", wash your hands, and vamoose!
(2) Only use da amount of RESOURCES dat you actually need, as well --- i.e., don't pull off "yards 'n' yards" of toilet-tissue or paper towels, just dispense da necessary volume of liquid soap or hand-sanitizer, run da faucet sparingly, etc. Remember dat whoever is providing said welcome lavatory is HIMSELF having to pay for said costly consumables!
(3) Speaking of toiletry-supplies, if you'll need to be spending any length of time on da porcelain throne, check out da tissue-dispenser --- if it's nearly empty and there's a replacement roll within arm's reach, utilize part of your extended "oval seat" period to swap out said mostly-consumed fiber cylinder; use da last of da old roll for your own present wiping.
(4) Remember to flush da toilet afterwards… duhhh!! Besides being far less gross for da unsuspecting "next" person, it can also reduce da issues discussed in Rule #9 below!
(5) And then speaking of "yuckies", "be a sweetie and cleanse da seatie" if you "sprinkled when you tinkled"! (Bonus reminder --- most people prefer if you put both da seat and lid down when you leave.)
Last five of da "top ten" public-restroom etiquette rules:
(6) Also tidy up da ROOM if it needs it --- flush down any dropped tissue, ram any “protruding” paper towels back down into da wastebasket, etc.
(7) As mentioned in Rule #2, whoever is "hosting" da bathroom is also PAYING for whatever resources dat said facility requires! So be sure to "turn everything off" before ya just blithely waltz off --- close da faucets firmly, and USUALLY (see below) switch off da electric lights and fan.
(8) If someone tries da locked door of da bathroom while you're still in there, keep this event in mind, both with regards to how rapidly you try to finish up, and also to then notice if said next user is still waiting outside da door when you start to exit; if so, practice "bodettiquette" and DON'T turn off da lights! Remember, this other person may really be urgently "needing to go", so you will want to make things quick and easy for him.
(9) If you "made a big stink" during your call-of-nature-related activities, you actually should **not** turn da vent-fan back off when you're done. And --- especially if there are likely to be other people located close to and/or passing by da door of da bathroom soon --- be sure to **close said door**, as well, to help keep da stench contained till da fan can sufficiently draw it away.
(10) Promptly tell da staff if da restroom needs attention, so dat da next user isn't greeted wif a nasty surprise, such as empty paper-dispensers or a clogged sink!

Japanese etiquette tatemae & honne

Japanese etiquette tatemae & honne -

Japanese culture, honne & tatemae are concepts that describe the difference between one's true feelings & public behavior. Honne (本音) refers to one's true thoughts & feelings, while tatemae (建前) is the outward facade or social behavior presented to others. This distinction is important for understanding Japanese social interactions and maintaining harmony within group-oriented society.

Here's a more detailed explanation:

Honne (本音) - True Feelings:

Honne represents a person's genuine thoughts, emotions, and intentions.

It is often kept private, especially in public settings or with those outside one's close circle.

In some cases, honne might be shared with very close friends or family.

Tatemae (建前) - Public Face:

Tatemae is the public persona or behavior that is presented to the outside world.

It is often used to maintain harmony, avoid conflict, and uphold social norms.

Tatemae can involve being polite, indirect, or even making white lies to avoid causing offense or discomfort.
Japanese etiquette tatemae & honne - basically Japanese people are two faced .... opposite of chinese people who are more in your face new yorkish

In essence, understanding honne and tatemae is about recognizing that Japanese individuals may not always express their true thoughts and feelings directly, and that this is often a deliberate and culturally accepted practice
