Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

Yeah, this list was pretty vague honestly, I gotta agree on that front. And yeah, some of these were things I was taught by parents and peers, although that said, I don’t believe I was taught in primary school (or elementary school if that’s easier to understand) about really any of these, since the education system where I live is pretty permissive for what happens in kindergarten, primary school and middle school, but excessively strict in high school for some reason. Although, I do believe I was taught a bunch in kindergarten, but that was so long ago I barely remember anything apart from some kid who pushed me over for no reason lol.

Also yeah, the US-defaultism of this “cool guide” doesn’t really help either, especially as you mentioned, with the lack of public transport etiquette and the insistence on tipping.

There’s also the fact that for something like public transport, or even just doorways in general, exiting and entering is different based on the area and context. Such as where I live, where people on public transport take one side when entering, and the other side exits at the same time, whereas in store doorways for instance, if it’s wide enough it’s the same, but if it’s narrow enough people would need to wait their turn.

Overall, after having a thought about this “guide”, it’s generally low quality and biased, I’d rather just exert more energy trying to understand the etiquette of my peers rather than look at a guide like this unless it’s actually meaningful and specific.
