"Socially-Challenged" people, hear UP!

1. If you have an appointment or a social commitment with someone always reconfirm it, at least 12-24 hours prior. 

2. If you are running late then - CALL - and inform the person waiting. Preferably as soon as possible!

3. Always keep everyone involved or attending (dinner/coffee/meeting) in the communication loop. 

4. Do not assume that people would know something unless you have told them that in person, in writing or verbally. 

5. Last (but definitely not the least) wait for everyone else's food to arrive before you begin eating yours. 

Please feel free to add to this list...

    First of all, you look incredibly chic. Secondly, I second every point you made. I hate waiting. And people without social graces.

    Love your outfit. The bag is the perfect pop of colour. I get fed up with waiting for people, I now give them 15 mins max and then go.

    Amazing tips! More people need to follow these! I once waited an hour for a friend, with no call/text from her! And re-confirming the day before is a definite must. Socially Challenged people tend to forget stuff!!

    Love your outfit. The dress is really nice and I'm in love with the pink bag.

    Smart etiquette lessons. You might assume people know all these things but I'm constantly surprised when people act like they don't. Being inconsiderate rarely has a good excuse. Thanks for teaching us manners. :)

    I LOVE THE PHOTOGRAPHS...there should be a way I can increase my font size because capslock is limiting yaar!!

    So stylish...

    Socializing Don't's

    * If more people around, don't go whispering in your partner or neighbor's ear throughout..WHISPERING is weird!

    * Don't talk behind someone's back..especially a second right after they turn you their back!

    * Don't be afraid to compliment someone if you genuinely like them or their stuff-will make their day.

    * Don't give a fake compliment and DO NOT tell someone they have lost weight, especially when they have not..you should rather find a different topic to discuss because you would lose your credibility for the entire conversation and thereafter.

    and basically i an go on and on.. :-p

    Muah!

    Gorgeous dress... and yes I agree. Although sometimes I think people reconfirm to a ridiculous degree. Last weekend I made plans to meet a bunch of people, confirmed on facebook, and one of them still called me two minutes before the time to ask if we were "still meeting up." Uh, yeah... did I write to you cancelling? Hehe, anywayyy...

    @Tanvi,

    I hate to say but Indians are most socially challenged people. Always late, never confirm and assume all kinds of food....

    Lovely pics and great tips on social etiquette! I could add several, but instead a pet peeve of mine is when there is a lack of eye contact. I hate when people don't make eye contact during a conversation.

    I'd want to add just dont be late! I never understand if ppl know how long it takes them, how do they manage getting late! i love this look the bag goes really well with the dress! PS: I saw Dhobi ghaat, got it up on the blog as well. Loved it! :)

    You look divinely elegant and poised! Great tips, too. When I worked in the hospitality trade I once served a member of the British cabinet and was horrified when he started eating before the other guests had even received their meal.

    First of all, you look so glam and elegant! I think this might be my favorite outfit yet! And I love your post, I have lately noticed that people don't know how to eat bread at a dinner table. Don't stuff the whole thing into your mouth, tear off pieces, butter, and eat! Argh! Love ya Tanvi! XX!

    Fab dress, Tanvi. And your list made me chuckle. The problem with rude people is so often they don't realise they are rude.
    May I add :
    'Don't think its OK to start asking personal questions just because you are sitting next to someone. Not everyone likes to be asked if they're married etc...etc..'

    Oh I had to add that I loved Cheryl's addition to the list. Braggart's do that all the time. And give advice freely to people which they don't follow themselves!!

    I would also say: ask if you want to divide the bill evenly because not everyone is ok splitting if they only had a drink!

    That's kinda funny but when it happens, like, at the moment its really very annoying! I can add one more onto it
    * don't say "on my way" when you're clearly not. -_-
    Love the pink!

    I agree on some of the suggestions. If you are late, please call to let the person or party know. That is just common decency.
