Do NOT stop to talk in doorways.

Elevator Etiquette: Let people exit before you enter. That way you have more room to enter. This applies to all things, not just elevators.

Give LOTS of space when passing a bike in your car.

Give EVEN MORE when passing a horse.

Since the majority of people in the world are idiots, and management tends to collect them at a higher rate than other roles, you will generally be rewarded more for how you make others feel than the amount or quality of your work. A person with a 10 in charisma and 4 int gets farther than the person with a 10 int and a 7 in charisma most of the time. Focus on learning better people skills. If you find a place where your work is recognized you should cherish it.

Also in the US the left lane is for passing the right lanes.

Do not start or continue a phone conversation when going to the bathroom - public or private restroom but especially in public bathrooms.

Even if you have a green light at the crossrowds you shouldn't drive if you can see that you have no way of exiting the crossroads and would block others e.g. there is a traffic jam on the road you want to drive into.

(at least in Poland)

Reading the answers to this questions, I'd say "Not understanding the meaning of most people".

One could write a book on unspoken rules for tipping in the US. Do you tip on takeout? Do you tip baristas? Does it depend on the beverage? Do you tip if you sit down but bus your own table? What's considered a good tip (and this is situation-dependent)? The only thing I can tell is if you're worried about something happening to you, then 20% of the price is generally a safe amount.

Don't make phone calls on speaker when in public. Not even if you hold it up to your ear.

If you're boarding a train or bus let people exit first instead of squeezing your fat ass past everyone to get a good seat

Here's a weird one:

Don't offer advice unless its something you have some experience with.

Googling someone's issues and giving them a boilerplate answer from the first thing you find isn't helpful and can actually be a hinderance more than anything.

Don't stop in doorways when walking through public places.

So many of these are "Don't create obstacles or bottlenecks".

Return your cart, zipper merge, wait for people to get off before you get on, don't block doorways.

Clearly, the truest unspoken rule is "Get out of the way!"

Put your cart back when you're done shopping.

When it’s close to closing time, get out of the store. If you have items you want to buy, leave yourself enough time to check out before the store closes. If you’re bringing a full cart to the register 30 seconds before closing time, you’re an asshole.

The employees have probably been there for 7+ hours, and still have to clean, restock, etc. They don’t want to be there for one second longer than necessary. Don’t be the reason they get home even later than usual.

Let the people out of the elevator that are trying to get out of the elevator before you attempt getting in.

Be aware of your surroundings. This is not just a safety thing for yourself, but a courtesy thing for other people.
