My work place has to keep sending out emails to remind everyone to not hold the door open for people tailing them.

He missed a few more as well.

• don’t command people what to do, instead ask them politely
• don’t yuck other people’s yum

I think as far as etiquette goes, I would say: don't paste me unfiltered AI output. If it's not worth your effort to at least summarize that wall of slop, it's not worth my effort to read it.

Just report and block the guy

Not disagreeing with what you’re saying here but it seems to assume that everyone is able to understand unspoken etiquette, which unfortunately isn’t the case.

For example, for myself, I hadn’t ever learned about a bunch of these (such as the waiting for other people to exit the elevator/doorway before entering, as well as the acknowledging staff one,) since I barely see them in action nor really concentrate deliberately on them, and it doesn’t help the fact I’m quite likely autistic.

Frankly, it’d be great if I was sat down and told about each of these things early on, it would’ve saved me from many years of confusion, conflict and anxiety, and it would’ve prevented me from thinking the reason I don’t fit in is exclusively my fault and I should pay for it.

Autistic people exist

Just to clarify, the suggestion here is to use the crook of your elbow.

I mean it was a better solution than coughing openly into a group you are talking to, assuming you'd wash your hands afterward; but being in a men's bathroom, guys using the urinal or bowl just walk out without washing hands, so there is that.

Coughing with your hands? Haha.

I think your comment could do with a tweak.

"When you cough, please don't cover your mouth with your hands. Please don't."

-or-

"Please don't cover your mouth, when you cough, with your hands. Please don't."

But... It's not trash. It's useful information for some people.

Trashing this post just because it's AI doesn't make you a better person.

Yeah this makes it seem US flavored.

I never knew the let people exit first because I never lived anywhere with public transit. It's obvious if someone brings any attention to it but in my head getting on the subway the first few times I was like "why are people running into me what is happening" lol

Are you claiming this posted content to be AI generated or that we should 'Fuck AI slop' as a etiquette?

But I was also taught that common decency is a good thing

Funny, I never saw it as a decency thing, more utilitarian. It's a waste of effort to try to cram myself into an already occupied box (unless there are occupants staying in the box, of course).

Same with trains. Nobody in my city seems to get that. I just barge my way through them crowded at the entrance if I'm getting out

It's wild when I see people just shove onto an elevator like my dude. The hell. Why. And they get mad when we're all annoyed at them!

How else can I crop dust if I can't leave first? Did no one teach them how to crop dust?

Unless you're naked; your ass is already covered.

That's a bit of the problem these days though; younger generations are not taught what concrete actions are deemed respectful. Furthermore it's viewed as a personal inconvenience for the sake of strangers.

"Common sense is not that common."

People need to be taught how to do those by giving them specific examples

A smile is enough. A smile while talking transfers a smile to the voice (a trick I learned in the phone mines) . Eye contact is great but you don't have to have it.

If you poop on the floor, do it in the same corner each time. Even monkeys can figure that out

Commenting on other people's food is very common around here. Maybe it's more appropriate to say "don't content negatively on other people's food"? Or better yet, "don't comment negatively on anything unprompted".

I actually really like the “give space when there is space” one you mentioned, since when I’m at supermarkets, I routinely see people’s carts at crooked angles or almost in the middle of the aisle, stopping me from passing through, and I make sure to adjust my cart all the time, since I don’t wanna waste anyone’s time or deplete their energy trying to fit through. I also get thanked for it a lot, so that’s nice too.

Where does this guide state anything about Canada ? In Northern Europe its seen as an insult to tip your waiter. Just pay your workers a living wage instead of hoping for the customers gratitude.

Do you think the only choices are AI art or not?

Whoever "made" this could have easily used the plethora of media freely available to them, pre-made by human artists, for each point in this. Clipart is decades old.

Or they could absolutely ditch the artwork and choose a different way to present this! The de-google guides that always pop up rarely have images. It's all simple shapes that are easy to read and look at.

There is absolutely zero need for AI here.

I couldn't do graphics if my life depended on it

Yes you can, you just don't want to put in the effort. Get drawing.

I'm thinking this through, myself.

• there are people, companies, and systems that are making the world a worse place, though people may disagree on exactly what/who those are.
• a fair number of people on Lemmy/Piefed believe that GenAI as promoted by companies like OpenAI is one of those things that are making the world a worse place.
• to such people, using GenAI for convenience does not excuse anyone from contributing to companies/systems that are making the world a worse place.

So I guess if someone honestly believes that GenAI is not bad, then they are being morally consistent when they use it. However, if they're making an infographic, the point of it may be lost on those who believe that GenAI is bad and thus have a morally consistent aversion to it.

Now, IS GenAI really that bad? That argument seems to be raging elsewhere in this thread.

There's never a good reason to hand someone your phone to show them a photo? Good grief. Do you have nobody where handing them your phone is not equivalent to spreading your ass cheeks?

I partly agree, like if you have sensitive images like nudes or other stuff you don’t want others to see, then put it in a protected folder requiring your password just to be safe. There’s also the fact most phone image viewers also have previews of other images at the bottom, so the other person could accidentally glance and see a faint icon of a dick or whatever and still find it a bit weird.

Then again though, if you hand someone your phone to see a single image, and that person feels it’s their right to see your entire photo library, to say it directly, they’re an obnoxious dickhead.
