Almost all of us have been in situations where we have made a mistake and not realized. Funny but true !!!
So here are those 10 Etiquette Mistakes You Didn't Know You Were Making ....
Mistake 1#
Skipping an introduction. You don't introduce your friend Lea to acquaintance Ben because you've forgotten Ben's name.
Mistake 2#
Being a vague guest. For example, you're invited to a party but never respond. Or, you're going for an overnight visit but fail to tell your hosts when you'll arrive and leave.
Mistake 3#
Arriving at a party with a present in hand, even though the invitation says "no gifts, please."
Mistake 4#
Asking someone you barely know the ethnic origin of her name.
Mistake 5#
Asking the host of the party for a tour of her house.
Mistake 6#
Responding to a dinner invitation with "We'd love to come! Just so you know, I'm on a low-carb diet, and Sam's a vegetarian."
Mistake 7#
Asking people to come to a restaurant to celebrate your husband's birthday — but then expecting them to pay their own way.
Mistake 8#
Using a speakerphone without asking the person on the other end first.
Mistake 9#
Making comments about children — "How old is he?" or "Isn't she thin?" — in their presence.
Mistake 10#
Allowing yourself a year after the wedding to come through with a present.
