Etiquette for Georgia residents
Read Time:1 Minute, 54 Second
Etiquette is a code of behavior that delineates expectations for social behavior according to contemporary conventional norms within a society, social class, or group. The French word étiquette, signifying ticket (of admission, etc.) first appeared in English in 1750.
Rules of etiquette encompass most aspects of social interaction in any society, though the term itself is not commonly used. A rule of etiquette may reflect an underlying ethical code, or it may reflect a person’s fashion or status. Rules of etiquette are usually unwritten, but aspects of etiquette have been codified from time to time.

1. Never take a beer to a job interview.
2. Always identify people in your yard before shooting at them.
3. It’s considered tacky to take a cooler to church.
4. If you have to vacuum the bed it’s time to change sheets.
5. Even if you’re CERTAIN that you are included in the will, it is still considered tacky to drive a U-Haul to the funeral.
6. When decanting wine, make sure that you tilt the paper cup and pour slowly so as not to “bruise” the fruit of the vine.
7. While ears need to be cleaned regularly, this is a job that should done in private using one’s OWN truck keys.

10. Be aggressive. Let her know you’re interested: “I’ve been wantin’ to go out with you since I read that stuff on the bathroom wall two years ago.
11. Establish with her parents what time she is expected back. Some will say 10:00 PM; others might say “Monday”. If the latter is the answer it is the man’s responsibility to get her to school on time.
12. Crying babies should be taken to the lobby and picked up as soon as the movie has ended.

One Fly is right, some people proud to say they don’t know nothin’ about nothin’.
I live here and everything Holte said is true!!! Georgia, particularly, South Georgia, is the Heart of Darkness.
As soon as I read 1) I knew I could never live there…;-)
As goofy as my state is, and believe me, it’s plenty goofy, I’m glad I don’t have to deal with this. Then again, I tend to stick to cities.
I’m half scared of the country around here.
Yep, could have been for Oklahoma.
Especially the Big Tire/4 Way stop thing.
Even though this is in jest many in the south are proud of things like this. Proud they don’t want to learn,proud they refuse to accept the truth of the matter on many issues. Then get pissed off when they get called out on it.
They’re going to be pissed at you Mr. Ender.
When it passed into law making it a stoppable offense if you weren’t wearing a seatbelt, here in Oklahoma, all the rednecks went into a tizzy, saying inane bullshit like it infringed on their personal freedoms and their way of life. Durrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
Them being pissed at me is nothing new, on my old blog I had a comment from some angry person who said they knew who I was, where I lived and they were going to take care of me. I hoped it was my wife.
Could have as easily been 15 Rules for Oklahomans.
