# When putting your tray away at any dining hall, have the courtesy not to cut other people who are waiting in line to do the same thing, even if you are rushed. If you can't resist the urge to cut people when you are rushed, give yourself enough time to put your tray away before you need to leave for class or whatever else you need to go to after a meal.
#*On the subject of busing trays, please do just that. Don't leave random glasses, plates, or even full trays of food at your table, because it's disrespectful (and not to mention degrading) to the people who work hard to feed you.
#* In fact, don't cut people when you aren't rushed; for instance, in the line for [[First Fridays]]. Being drunk and not wearing enough clothing on a cold night are not excuses.
# Wave to, nod, or mouth "thank you" to drivers who stop for you to cross on a pedestrian crossing. It's the law for them to stop, but it's still polite when they do because many don't.
#* Look both ways before you cross the street, even if you're at a crosswalk.
# Thank the cardswiper people in the dining halls.
# Turn off the television when you leave and no one else is watching, even if it's a TV in a public space. ''Especially'' if it's a TV in a public space.
#Don't steal. Some stealing is okay though, like stealing food and [[Free Stuff|free stuff]]. Especially free stuff.
# If someone farts in Schow, make believe you didn't hear it. (Even though you did and it's hilarious)
# When watching a movie when other people are present, don't talk (unless the movie is awful and the group as a whole wants to).
# If you go outside to smoke, for crying out loud, throw away your cigarette butts when you're done. Littering is not cool, ever, and this is no exception.
#* Also, don't huddle right outside the doors to the building. Nobody wants to walk through a cloud of smoke every time they need to enter or exit.
# If you're at a classical music concert (BSO, etc.) and you happen to see someone in front of you whispering to somebody else in front of you--make sure to shush them conspicously so that everyone around you can see how much you enjoy classical music. N.B.-this applies double if you are 168 years of age or older.
# Don't vandalize other people's wiki edits, especially if you're not a member of WSO.
#* Note that the whole point of a wiki is that all members are free to add, edit, correct, or delete things if they think it improves the wiki.
#* Also note that not all are edits to the wiki are appreciated, especially if the edit is done by someone who has no business in editing that page (example: Diana Davis editing the Mills page when she doesn't live there and had no part in the conception of the official Mills 3 slogan "Yay Mills 3, Rimjobs for Free").
# Don't fall asleep in a discussion class. Coffee is your friend.
# If you must fall asleep in any class, try not to snore loudly or jolt awake too hilariously.
