Don’t be talkin’ ‘bout my Mama! LOL. Shout out to all the Mama’s out there. Our Mama’s are awesome, but if you were born after a certain decade, your Mama didn’t know anything about this. It’s a brand-new world. “Please” and “Thank you” are still very necessary, but to navigate today’s society you’re going to need an updated etiquette book. Here are a few tips to elevate your Queen behavior.
1. Cell Phone Etiquette (Queen, this could be a book. We’ll keep it short and sweet 😊)
· When you’re enjoying a meal; put the phone down, turn off the ringer and enjoy the experience.
· When you’re having a face to face conversation with someone; don’t take selfies. (I’m guilty of this vulgar behavior ☹. So sorry)
· When you’re traveling in a car with others; do not carry on cell phone conversations. If it’s important, make it short and apologize to your fellow travelers.
· When you’re traveling on public transportation, the above rule applies.
· Don’t engage in multiple conversations at the same time. Sounds crazy, but I’ve seen this.
· Don’t add a person to group messaging without their permission. If this is unavoidable, request all replies be directed to you privately.
· Don’t share another person’s cell phone # without their permission.
· Block, block, block. If someone is calling/texting you to nauseum, stop complaining and block them.
· Some people can’t afford iPhones. Don’t shame android users.
2. Social Media
· Don’t stalk. Don’t harass. Mind your own business.
· Don’t post pictures of others without their permission.
· Think twice before posting anything risqué. The internet is forever.
· If you steal a meme, at least ‘like’ the original post.
· If you copy someone’s intellectual property (post) without their permission, at least give them credit for their words.
· Don’t make a dozen consecutive posts. This is annoying. If you have a lot of pictures, make a collage.
· Don’t lie about your life. People actually know you. Remember, nobody is posting the bad stuff. Don’t try to keep up.
· Social media posts are fair game. If you don’t want people talking about it, don’t post it. It’s their business now.
· Attention seeking bait posts are sad and annoying. Don’t post, “I’m soooo mad!” without an explanation.
3. Dating
· We’re living in a ‘smash’ culture. If that’s all you want; do you. If you really want more, wait for what you deserve.
· 2020 men love to text, “WYD?”. If you’re looking for a relationship, wait for the guy who will call you and have a real conversation.
· NEVER send nudes. At least not with your face attached. 😊
· If you’re posting yourself with some dude on social media, but the dude never posts you – Something is wrong.
· Catfishing is bad. Don’t be a catfish.
