26. Don't ascribe your opinion (or a presumed opinion) to others. Listen to what their opinion really is (maybe they have none on a given topic, that is very dear to you, but that is completely acceptable)

27. Try to use the original name of people. using any kind of nickname needs to be established by the wearer of the name. (Some Asian colleagues of mine have asked me to use a name which was more easy to pronounce for me in the past.)

When they share their lunch with you. Eat the lunch and return the container, unless of course it is a disposable one.

Yes.

Those who do, don't need to be told what to do.

Those who don't, won't listen when you tell them what to do.

Yes, telling people what to do is generally a waste of time. This is the great lesson of the internet. Too bad you stayed home that day.

We haven't had a decent behavior list since Grampy Bobby threw a 7.
I remember in the very early days of his posting he was not a bad guy but as he was getting older [I presume that caused it], he was very annoying. He did say he was not in good health. Maybe he is passed away by now.

Are you going to change your rather bad behavior here at RHP just because people think your behavior is bad?

Right. Now get off my back.

This thread is complete waste of time then. Words of wisdom then serves no purpose. People know all these things, but sometimes all you need is a reminder.

Good one. Have made this mistake several times myself.

Why do you feel the need to make an argument when there is none?

29. If you are too lazy, or timid or paranoid to start threads of your own, try to avoid squatting over the threads of others, refusing to participate, and instead curling off stools upon the people happy to discuss the topic.

It's a good reminder, thank you. When I went through the list, I noticed that I may not always meet the requirements of nice conduct. In real life that is.
