Push your chair in after leaving a table at a cafeteria. It blocks the path for people who are carrying trays and may not have a free hand to push it in themselves.

People exiting a building or vehicle get priority over people entering. Let people out before you go cram yourself in the way.
Zipper merging
lol this and bad drivers are the most reposted shit on my cities subreddit. ALWAYS zipper merging and bad drivers.
It’s sad people don’t understand the concept of zipper merging because of their ME FIRST attitude

You stand on the right side of an escalator/moving walkway. You walk on the left side.
It doesn't matter if you have multiple people or luggage, the right is for standing, the left is for walking.
I would add an asterisk there and say this should reflect the driving/roads convention used in the country. Where I live, the driver's seat is on the right side of a car and on escalators most people stand still on the left, letting the right side clear for walking.
Fair point. Although London threw me for a loop because it appeared to be the same as a right and driving. Be aware of the local customs, and be aware if you are blocking people

Don't stop in doorways when walking through public places.
Or at the top of the stairs/ escalator you just came up. There are people behind you with nowhere to go while you decide which way you want to go.

When you bring your vehicle to a mechanic, please clean your nasty shit out first. It ain't gotta be totally perfect, but hell, clean your own nasty junk and bug infestation out first.
Side note: Please make sure to properly disable your car alarm before getting your oil changed. I can guarantee you that the guy working in the pit really appreciates his (/her) eardrums, and the pit is a literal echo chamber.
You want a sledgehammer to the bottom of your transmission? Sure, just let your stupid ass car alarm go off in the shop, go ahead and test your luck with the mechanic in the pit that probably already has a migraine..
Edit: 3rd respect for mechanics. Please God don't sit in your vehicle running the air conditioner while waiting for an oil change, oil gets fucking hot yo! Please let your vehicle cool off, there's a damn fine reason they have an air conditioned waiting room.
Why would a car alarm be a problem...?
Every place I've ever been, they take the keys and drive it into the garage to do any work they're doing.
Car alarm should only be relevant if the mechanic locks the car, no?
