When someone eats with reckless regard usually involving and not limited to ignoring errant food particles on face and, if applicable, in facial hair, shoveling food into one's mouth before completely swallowing the previous bite, utilizing every finger on every hand, and uncontrollable stares from spectators. Throwing up results in an automatic disqualification.
That guy always comes in here with his competitive eating etiquette like no one else comes to McDonald's. Show some class.

pencil-eraser etiquette

Refers to the (unfortunately very-seldom-practiced!) consideration of using a separate hand-held rubber eraser --- or at least to slip on one of those much-longer-lasting wedge-shaped "supplementary" eraser-caps if you know you'll be doing a lot or error-expunging --- to clean most of your mistakes instead of just mindlessly consuming your pencil's minuscule built-in eraser, so that you don't wear da entire 0%!$&#@ eraser clear down to the metal ferrule before the pencil's even been "sharpened away" much at all, causing any unfortunate person who subsequently attempts to use said pencil to not have any eraser left for "emergency" erasures (i.e., where he needs to make a quick correction in a tense/flurried situation, like trying to hastily jot down a phone number or address, or to quickly fill out a form where neatness is a must). It helps eliminate waste, as well --- think how many still-perfectly-usable pencils (i.e., they still have most of their "length" remaining) likely get discarded just because their erasers are worn down.
I always bring along a few pencil cap erasers in my purse, since I know how few people actually practice pencil-eraser etiquette, and so oftentimes the only pencils that will be lying around for people to use will not have any eraser left.

P.S. There's also such a thing as "pencil-POINT etiquette --- if ya wear down the lead in a "public" pencil, such as a string-tethered one for a "customer comments" notes-box, practice a little fellow-human consideration by scraping away a bit of the wood at the tip to expose a little of the graphite core again (here's where always carrying a small pen-knife --- or even better, one of those tiny two-finger-grip "dog-bone" or "hourglass" style sharpeners --- can come in handy), so that da next patron who wishes to fill out a store-satisfaction card can have enough of a point on da pencil to actually do so!

A few simple "no brainer" rules that, if we'd all follow them, would make posting/reading paper ads/notices a much more pleasant and peaceable experience for everyone involved.
The "perfect five" rules of community bulletin-board etiquette:
(1) Each poster should be limited to one message per board, unless he is posting two or more "unrelated" ads/notices.
(2) Notices should be a maximum size of an 8-1/2X11 sheet of paper --- don't selfishly hog a whole gigantic portion of board-space with those 0%!$&@# huge-a** blaze-orange/fuchsia/chartreuse banner-sheets from da Dollar Tree's art-paper bin!
(3) Only attach notices to a blank portion of the board --- don't imperiously plaster your poster over everyone else's, regardless of whether you think your message is so much more all-fired important! If there’s insufficient room, make at least a half-a** effort to solve the problem rationally/fairly --- shift other people's sheets around on the board to form a "tighter" grouping, seek out and remove any "obsolete" (event-dates that have already passed) messages, etc.
(4) Don’t use the last “empty” thumbtack/pushpin on the board, or snitch one from someone else’s page! If the supply of available fasteners is running low, add a few tacks/pins of your own! Plus if you see someone else’s poster dangling/flapping by just one corner, pin it back up again.
(5) Choose a spot on the board that’s appropriate to your ad’s subject/urgency. If it’s about a lost/found valuable, super-important event, or desperately-needed item, place the ad near the center of the board. But if it’s merely a “for sale” ad or general notice, place it near the board's top/bottom/sides.

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

Dining Etiquette

dining on her for pleasure, start slow, follow body language, make sure her toes cramp and legs vibrate, do not insert fingers, use fingers for clitoris/inner and ourter lip pressures, dine until she is exhausted from multiple orgasms - this is only showcased when she squirms away from you - thus make sure you have a good grip on her amazing ass cheeks while lifting her honey pot into your face.
how do you prefer dining etiquette to start?
