Sub Section 02: Practising Good Habits at Home – What You Cannot Do in Public

In the paragraph below, I have listed a few things that you probably do while seated in your living room or TV room at home. Check the list and see whether you do.

Picking your nose

Biting your finger nails

Scratching yourself

Putting your fingers in your mouth

Cutting your nails

Putting your feet up on the coffee table/ table

Even though it is your family that sits beside you in the living room, these are not good habits to practice. If you are not careful, you will even scratch yourself and pick your nose when you are with friends that you are very comfortable with. Therefore, please start using the washroom or your bedroom as appropriate when you need to do any of these.

Can you think of other unhygienic or unpleasant things you do in the living room? There may be many other things that you do that are not suitable to do in the living room or in front of others. If you can think of any, please add in the comments below.
If you are not sure, please write to us at fullofetiquette@gmail.com and ask whether you should or should not. We will help you decide.
