How to behave at a party

Imagine the situation: A man came to you, whom you did not invite. At the same time, he behaves cheekily, constantly complains about life and, apparently, does not intend to leave in the near future. Your coffee is too bitter for him, and the cheesecake is very sweet. Seeing in the house, for example, your sister, the guest expresses dissatisfaction with her presence, because in some year she stepped on his foot in the trolley. The situation is very ridiculous. It's about time unobtrusively to remind such a type of people how to behave at a party, and at the same time and myself to test for culture and decency.

There are several generally accepted rules that will help you understand how to behave on a visit, so that you are invited to invite more than once.

Go on a visit by invitation. Do not impose yourself familiar with the visit. This can give you a lot of discomfort to the owners, who expected to spend their time on the previously prepared plan.

Visit never show your discontent a treat or a company. If you do not like the food - you can politely refuse the main dishes, saying that you have a special diet or regime. It is not necessary to say how the heroine of Vera Alentova in the film "Moscow does not believe in tears", that she had lunch before going to visit. This replica will offend the owners, because they were preparing a dinner for you. The same goes for the company: when you see an unpleasant person, say hello and turn attention to personalities with whom you are pleased to communicate.

Do not go on a visit with strangers. This causes tension not only from the owners of the house,where you are invited, but also from the person accompanying you. In addition, you should not go with children in a company where children are not expected. About the animals a special conversation: never come to visit with pets if this was not agreed in advance because of your having a general interest in pets.

Never show your bad mood. This causes not only irritation in the company, butand spoils the whole picture of the holiday. Remember how unpleasant it is to go in public transport with a man who at all rushes with scandalous cues due to bad mood. You can be sure that you will not look better in such a situation.

Do not sit up until midnight at a party. Imagine how tired the owners are, trying toprovide you a pleasant pastime. Do not say: "we probably already bored you" or "you liked us so much that you would have to expel us." This you do not please the hosts, but on the contrary, grieve, no matter how hospitable they may be.

At the beginning of the nineteenth century, a terrific book was published, "Councils for Noble Education and Circulation." In one section, we discussed how to behave as guests. One of the golden rules sounded like this: "Do not go to visit to annoy the owner or show off his bad temper. In that case, it's better to stay home. " remember, that going to visit is not only a pleasant but very responsible process, which shows the face of your upbringing. From the reputation acquired in the company, depends on where you will meet the holidays and whether you will be happy at such events.
