NEVER elbows on the table
The order in which you introduce people: “Mrs. Smith (older or higher ranking person), I would like to introduce Larla (younger or lower ranking person) to you. Larla, please meet Mrs. Smith.” 
No calling people’s houses after 9pm
Thank you notes out the door within two days

I feel like everyone has completely forgotten this distinction. People "lay" around all the time and it drives me crazy![/quote]

Woah, the introduction rule gave me anxiety just reading it. I was not taught that and I have never noticed it before. Seems too stressful to always be thinking about who's higher ranking. [/quote]

People don't do the courtesy of introductions at all today, so if you manage to politely introduce people, you are good! I always just initiate if I am not properly introduced. I hate the awkward -- I don't think we've met...[/quote]
