Here are some of them

1. If you want to take selfies take it before the party, once the party has begun put your phone aside and enjoy it.
2. Never use your phone when you are dining,texting or emailing are only appropriate when your dinner partner excuse themselves to go to the bathroom
3. Don't use the social networking sites for personal conversations and arguments
4. In a theater or a concert hall, go to your seat facing the people already sitting
5. Don't treat the social media as your private diary.No body wants to know the intimate details about you!
6. Don't post pictures of people in public on social media, unless you got permission from them
7. Don't place your handbag on your lap or chair when dinning.Hang it on the back of the chair or place it on the floor
