Society & Culture Customs we should adopt

[azreal]

I remember watching something on TV about family relationships between different members of the extended family with...i think it was the Bardi people (Aboriginal tribe of the Kimberley). Anyway, it is unacceptable for the husband to talk to his Mother in law. I think this is a great idea and it is a custom that I would like to introduce into my family.

Anyone know of any other cool customs or traditions that we should adopt?

Washing your hands after you use a toilet is a basic custom which is neglected by many people.

Some popular customs from other cultures include

Taking off your shoes when you enter somebody's house.

Males kissing males from the extended family on their cheeks.

Bombarding guests with sweets even after they refuse your overtures.

Wearing black attire for 40 days and not shaving for 40 days (Males only) after a person dies.

I like that custom from the Kimberley.

I wash my hands before I touch my dick.

I always liked the Japanese custom of putting your money in a tray when you buy something.

Yes, and taking off shoes.

And the ancient Japanese art of love making.

What is likable about this? I prefer recieving it hand to hand, with notes on bottom and coins on top. I don't like how the Japanese count their notes. Take SOOOOO long.

if its not carpet i see no reason to make people take of their shoes

I remember watching a foreign correspondent piece on Turkmenistan or somewhere like that where it was their custom to kidnap a wife. They'd just go out and snatch a woman in the middle of the night and from that point on they would be their property.

That one will get through parliament no problems

Yeah so do I actually, and I don't raise the seat with the hand I'm going to use to conduct the airstrikes, normally the right hand.

My psych teacher told us that in Japan, if you receive a business card you have to bow before it and place it on a table until you leave the complex. Placing it in your pocket straight away is a real faux pas apparently. Magic_ Johnson! could shed light on this.

Squat Loos. I NEVER sit on a public toilet to have a dump. I can't stand the thought of having my bare ass cheeks coming into contact from some other dudes sweaty hairy ass, Think about it, it is ****ing disgusting

Completely agree that it's ***king disgusting. I've only ever done it twice or three times when I was a kid. I carefully plan any outing around this and make sure that I never have to do a number 2 in a public toilet, or any toilet that isn't mine for that matter.

Other way around is better. Coins first, then notes. Coins don't go into my wallet ever, so its a pain when the coins are on top-have to stick them away, while still holding the notes.

Are you one of those guys who pisses in the cubicle? Soft.

Pissin in the cubicle is the way to go over a big long urinal. Just hate the splash back and standing on the piss on the metal rails. Makes your legs all itchy... The singular urinals are fine though. More aiming room

And im not sure about the business card thing. I only went to school over there, so i didn't touch any business cards, but i imagine that this wouldn't happen ALL the time. They'd bow, but they bow for everything.

People that can't take a shit outside of their own home are a bit suss, I think.

I certainly wouldn't leave them alone with my kids.

Yeah, NEVER put it in your pocket...ESPECIALLY YOUR PANTS BACK POCKET... lol, that's like wiping your ass on their card... seriously!

Receive it wth two hands making a slight bowing gesture and study it carefully for about 5 seconds, then preferably make some inane remark about it. Then put it on the table in front of you. When you leave the table, but it in your wallet.

Also writing on someones business card is just like spitting in their face lol, try it sometime, the reactions can be priceless.

Also make sure it's just a snake and make sure it's just biting.

In native American and Inuit cultures the host would often offer his wife for the night if you were staying over.
