Social Codes To Live By As Told By Redditors

Show some courtesy when it's the last piece of the pie or the final drink.

"Last slice of pizza or last pop/beer always goes to who paid for it. If you all chipped in, you don't have to ask, but you have to tell. And never take both in the same hangout, no matter what the earlier rules say.

Never mess with the music in another person's car. Don't care HOW crap you think their taste is.

If you know someone else had a regrettable hookup...no you don't. Not even if you fall out and become enemies. You don't remember."

Girls need to have each other's backs

"If another lady walks past and you notice a blood stain on the back of their pants/skirt - tell them, but do it discreetly.

Recently noticed a passenger had a spot on her pants. Wrote her a note and slipped it to her as I was collecting trash from the carriage. Half hour later, I see her again and she has a different change of pants on. She was super thankful."

This post is oddly banana related and we feel like OP has something else on their mind.

"The guy code rules for eating a banana:

1. Never make direct eye contact with another man while eating a banana

2. Never close your eyes while biting the banana

3. Never take a bite longer than 1" in length

4. Never take more than 1 second to bite the banana

5. Never let your lips touch the banana"

Wife trumps your bros every time

"Bros before hoes, but not before wives. Sure it’s sucks when a buddy has to stay home for a weekend camping trip, but if his wife’s sick and they have a 3-month-old, it’s probably best that he keeps his family’s interests above your own haha"

Error: Stuck in half hug and don't know how to let go.

"Guy code: when greeting someone and you're not sure if they're a hugger, always shake their hand first... it allows them to throw up the other arm for a hug if they're down for it."

That's just friendship 101. Feed the people that show up

"If your friends help you move, you are expected to a) be packed already... And b) provide pizza and beer."

Don't hog someone else's limelight.

"The person who buys the shots, makes the toast

Too many times I've seen someone buy a round of shots, and someone else jumps in with a toast

If you want to make a toast, buy a round!"

Only monsters do that

"Dude if there’s like 8 open urinals DON’T TAKE THE ONE NEXT TO ME"

Don't be that guy. Everyone hates that guy

"If I offer someone a beer or other alcoholic beverage and they turn it down, I never push it. Sometimes I don't want to drink and I hate being pressured. Never pressure a drink on someone."

It's the 5/5/5 rule and its Girl Code basics

"Girl code: if something is fixable within five minutes (make-up, something stuck in teeth, small things on appearance) you tell her and help her if needed, if it isn't fixable on the spot, you keep your mouth shut and ESPECIALLY don't point it out to others."

Queens carry extra hair ties

"If I hear a girl say she needs a hair tie I will immediately hand one over, even if I’ll only have one left for myself.

Edit: I also carry a ridiculous amount of bobby pins for similar purposes."

Reddit/mcrandk

That's what friends are for.

"Have your boy's back in an altercation/fight/argument. I'm not saying 100% of the time step up for them, sometimes people do dumb shit and deserve the consequences. But if the need arises, you should have their back. Even if it just means stepping up beside them to look intimidating."

We're confused as hell but we don't disagree

"You absolutely never share a glass of milk with another man"

Reddit/Kadeslayer

We say drop the friend immediately

"Guy Code -If your drunk bro is about to cheat on his girlfriend, you must follow through with one intervention. If he says he doesn't care, you did your part and are free from any responsibility."

Reddit/Barth88

Be gentle, be kind, be good.

"Girl code- When another girl asks how she looks, if you have something negative to point out do it gently and follow up with at least one or more positive."
