1. Thou shalt mind thine own business, unless asked.

2. Thou shalt treat everyone with courtesy and respect, until they giveth you a reason not to.

3. Thou shalt not chew with thine mouth open. Seriously, that's just gross.

4. Thou shalt not talk like some pompous Stan Lee Asgardian. Oops.

5. Thou shalt purchase as many Dean Haspiel comics as thine wallet can feasibly withstand.

1. Thou shalt not step off an escalator and immediately stop walking to figure out wherest thou were going.

2. Thou shalt always use thine indicator when changing lanes in traffic.

3. Thou shalt not engage in "man spreading" in a crowded bus, train or economy class airplane cabin.

Oh man -- those first two are GOLD. I have a fear of escalators for the eventual pile up. And I scream "Indicate! Indicate, MFer!!!" many MANY times whilst driving.

My only caveat for "man spreading" is that when there is plenty of sitting room on ye olde bench and you let your knees drift apart, it should be okay. I've seen too many pictures of people trying to bust a poor soul for "man spreading" (as if shaming a stranger online moves the proverbial needle) just to notice the amount of free space around said crime. PLUS, people who place their bags on a seat next to them during a crowded trip should be decapitated -- no, WAIT -- I mean, asked politely to place their bag on the floor or in their lap (thank you very much).

-Do not cast the first aspersion. Just become someone is older than you do not assume it's their fault when their tech fails.

-Do-ith un to others by picking up your dog's poop when walking on public sidewalks.

-Thou shalt consider the "per capita" math when you hear about New York City's "out of control crime."
