Baby Talk

114. Don't talk s--- about your baby. Friend, if I've traveled to your inconvenient neighborhood to meet you for dinner, and I ask, "How's baby?," I'm going to need you to parry with something better than, “Baby's fine, boring,” shrug, eye roll.

Callous Plans

2. You may callously cancel almost any plans up until 2 p.m. At 2 p.m., there's still ample time for your friend - if they so choose to text around and find another dinner companion. By three, they almost certainly will be alone for the night. (This doesn't apply if you want to cancel on someone who is cooking for you in that situation, you have to tell them the night before.) - - -

Be A Dick On A Plane

37. Don't feel bad about standing up in the aisle immediately upon the plane landing. Flying is bad enough already. Do what you can to make things better for yourself. Just don't knock down elderly people on the way.

No Uggos

40. Do not touch the small of my back to move around me at the bar if you're ugly. One time, I was in a very spacious bar with at least a good two feet behind me, and then I felt it: a hand on my lower back like a piece of sandpaper. I turned around to find a man whose head was shaped like Caillou's staring back at me. It's awkward, uncomfortable, and unnecessary. A nice little "Excuse me" would suffice. Is the music too loud? Give me a tap on the shoulder. Tarkor Zehn

Cigs

Unhinged and Arbitrary

Russell Steinberg @Russ_Steinberg Idk why everyone is dragging The Cut. It's not like they posted the most unhinged list of arbitrary rules of all- time. - 99. Ignore your colleagues on the subway.

Allergy Rule

Corey Ann Haydu @CoreyAnnHaydu Look. I'm sure @TheCut is getting lots of feedback on their etiquette list but this is so offensive. The situation described here isn't a person with an allergy. And a person with a severe allergy cannot just be all chill and not inform ppl making them dinner of said allergy 52. Don't foist your allergies onto a dinner party. Once, I gave a dinner party with my ex, who was a fantastic cook. He created a five-course menu and made the pasta by hand. Then a famous designer — I won't say who showed with a blender filled up with the ingredients for his own meal. He was on some very restricted diet. If I were on a very restricted diet or if I were gluten free, or vegan, or anything, I would not say a word to my host. At a dinner party, it's about what the host wants to do. Just pick -

Callous and Dangerous

Chelsea Cristene Bock @ChelseaCristene This morning @TheCut published an exhaustive list of "etiquette rules" that included advice for people with food allergies to "not say a word to the host" and simply eat when we get home. I don't have the words for how callous or dangerous this is. THE CUT GIVE A GIFT 52. Don't foist your allergies onto a dinner party. Once, I gave a dinner party with my ex, who was a fantastic cook.
