SOME SOCIAL RULES THAT MAY HELP YOU.
1. Donβt call someone more than twice continuously. If they donβt pick up your call, presume they have something important to attend to.
2. Return money that you have borrowed even before the person who loaned it to you remembers or asks for it. It shows your integrity and character. The same goes for umbrellas, pens, and lunch boxes.

14. If a colleague tells you they have a doctor's appointment, donβt ask what itβs for, just say "I hope youβre okay." Donβt put them in the uncomfortable position of having to tell you their personal illness. If they want you to know, they'll do so without yo
