IM etiquette

I love chatting with him because he has great IM etiquette. He'll leave informative away messages or say things like 'brb in 2 minutes' so I'm never left high and dry.

trash etiquette

The question whether you are allowed to put your trash into your neighbor's trash bin after they have wheeled it out for collection.

Normally a neighbor's trash bin already wheeled out for collection is fair game. However proper etiquette is that your trash should not smell and be secured in a strong bag, so as not to stink out their bin.
Tim: Hey Joan, we've got some extra trash this week - I notice Graham's already put out his bin - you reckon he'd mind?

Joan: As long as you use proper trash etiquette.

Etiquette

Two people who are seeing each other live in two different cities, roughly one hour away from each other. Person A lives in city A and Person B lives in city B. Person A wants to break up with person B. Person A is required to drive to City B where she then proceeds to break up with Person B. Person B should not be required to drive to city A. Assuming Person A drives to City B, Person A is exercising good etiquette.

Insult Etiquette

Insult etiquette is what you have when someone insults you and instead of crying or whining about it, you take the insult with stride and keep on trucking.
Me: You're the worst driver ever!
Them: Thanks!
Me: Wow, you show some very impressive insult etiquette.

rimjob etiquette

1. The unwritten, and largely unknown, rules surrounding what to do immediately after giving someone a rimjob (e.g., is it rude to kiss the person, or rude not to?, is it rude to use mouthwash, or rude not to?).
2. Any set of rules so informal (and not talked about or agreed upon) that no one is ever sure how to act.
1. I gave your mom a rimjob last night, but I wasn't sure what the proper rimjob etiquette was. She tasted fine, but I thought maybe I should use mouthwash anyway before kissing her. I didn't know what to do, so I left.
2. These days, I never know whether I'm supposed to pay when going on a date. It's like trying to figure out rimjob etiquette.
