Out and About Manners/Travel Manners
Be considerate about pushing others and take do not assume you were deliberately shoved or mauled when on a train, plane or bus.
Very few people are rude to those who are really polite to them.
Get your ticket and moneys for the ticket ready in advance if possible-preferably the exact amount.
Stand aside to let people out before you get in.
When you are in, move to the rear and leave room for persons coming in behind you.
Try not to carry too much luggage during rush hours.
Keep all luggage under or between your legs or on your lap.
If you should get a seat, tuck your feet back instead of crossing your legs to avoid rubbing your shoes against the person in front of you and taking up too much leg room.
Large newspapers at rush hour should be confined to books or small magazines unless you can read a newspaper in and keeps it always in half-width, even turning the pages.
If you have no reading material of your own, do not make the person sitting on the side, in front, or behind you uncomfortable by leaning on him or her and reading the paper.
I quit smoking! Try to quit too.. but If you must just don’t smoke in front of anyone.
Don’t conceal a lighted cigarette, pipe, or cigar in your cupped hand.
Don’t throw trash on the floors.
Children should be quiet in public.
Taxi drivers can hear what you are saying to your riding companion and he or she can usually see you in his rear-view mirror.
You always tip because tips are a necessary part of a drivers income. In metered cabs, there is no problem. You pay the amount on the meter plus a tip.
Discuss your fare first, don’t argue about it after you get there.
If a man and woman share a cab, the man waits for the woman to open the conversation or the man says nothing to her during the entire ride.
Hailing a Cab: If a man and a woman are together, he hails the cab, opens the door for her and tells the driver where to go. If it is raining, he might ask the lady to wait in a doorway. When he gets a cab, he gets in, asks the driver to go to where the lady is waiting, gets out and helps her in, then gets back in himself.
If a man and a woman are both hailing a cab and the man gets one first, he should not step aside for the woman unless she is burdened with packages, is pregnant or is crippled or elderly.
In this case, if he is very courteous, the man might even get her a cab before he does.

Hotel Manner
Registering a womans name at a hotel: A woman signs "Miss Rose Leo" or "Mrs. Robert Fernandez" and gives her address as "West Palm Beach, Florida," with no street address unless there is a specific line for it on the blank.
She always uses the "Miss" or "Mrs.," even though she ordinarily wouldn’t in signing her name.
A man signs "Robert Fernandez, West Palm Beach, Florida," no "Mr." And no street address.
When a man and his wife are traveling together, the husband signs for both of them, "Mr. and Mrs. Robert Fernandez,or Mr. and Mrs. Robert Leo-Fernandez," never "Robert Fernandez and wife."
When children are with you, toddlers are registered "Mr. And Mrs. Robert Fernandez and three children."
