It’s good that you have decided to hit the gym, but before you do that, you must keep in mind the basic gym mannerisms, so that people don’t find you a nuisance. Proper Gym Gear Not only will you be comfortable working out in a track suit but also it will maintain the decorum of the gymnasium. Re-Rack After Use You must keep the fee weights at their proper place and order for convenience of the next person.

Wipe After Use If your sweat has soiled the mat or any gym equipment, you must wipe it before going for some other equipment.

Don’t Loiter Around If you are done working out, make a move. It’s rude to eye on people (read women) working out in the gym!

Cologne puhleez Use a cologne or deodorant that’s not over-powering. You don’t want the people working out in the gym to faint!

Follow these shopping etiquettes and make you shopping a good experience for both you and people around. Don’t Fight With Co-shopper: Yeah, the fellow has taken the only cigarette packet from the rack but since he was the one to pick it up first, it’s his! Bargain politely: Again, the sales person is just doing his job and he’s not the one who has fixed the price of some stuff. If you bargain, do it politely without being offensive.   Carry change: It’s irritating and rude to keep people waiting in long queues, while you are hopping around looking for change. While you may think that it looks kind of cool to flash a 50 dollar note to pay for a cup of coffee, try to pay with small bills to avoid hassles.

Greet but don’t yap: A polite “hello” or a “hi” acknowledging the presence of the cashier, might get you better and quicker service, but don’t become over friendly and start talking to them as if you just met a long lost friend.

Don’t hover at ATMs If you want to use the ATM to withdraw cash and there’s already someone else using it, don’t stand too close to the machine. Keep at a polite distance.
