What’s an unspoken rule that absolutely everyone should know, but most people clearly don’t?
-
When waiting at a red light, cars are supposed to stay out of the pedestrian crosswalk
Stopping in the crosswalk screws both pedestrians and people trying to see to safely make a right on red.

Let the people out of the elevator that are trying to get out of the elevator before you attempt getting in.
Elevator, all public transport, buildings. There’s more space outside. Stop cramping.

"Do unto others..."
Even those who supposedly devote their lives to such teachings don't seem to know wtf that means

One day I'm going to get the cops called on me for screaming like a maniac at the people hosting an impromptu reunion in front of the item I'm trying to get at the store.
We all know that Suzanne doesn't care how little Timmy is doing, and you're really not going out for coffee sometime or getting all the kids together for a playdate.
You get a polite "excuse me", a less polite one, a "I'm trying to get to the [whatever]", a 3 second soul-piercing glare, then the hamster falls off the wheel and the demons get released.
I like to enthusiastically join the conversation. "Oh how IS little Timmy? I hear he shows a lot of promise on that baritone accordion of his! Were they able to reattach his foot after the incident?" Then everyone gets weirded out and confused enough that you can reach through and grab the grocery you want.

This is probably just a me thing, but if you have to use the restroom, just say that instead of saying what you specifically have to do. I don't need to know any details and you don't need to share them with anyone. The only details worth sharing is if something happens, like a pipe leak/burst or something else serious.

lol this and bad drivers are the most reposted shit on my cities subreddit. ALWAYS zipper merging and bad drivers.
It’s sad people don’t understand the concept of zipper merging because of their ME FIRST attitude
I've never had a driving license in my life and I somehow fully understood zipper merging as a toddler. "Oh, everyone gets their turn! This side goes, then that side goes, then this side goes again back and forth so it's fair for everyone."

Why would a car alarm be a problem...?
Every place I've ever been, they take the keys and drive it into the garage to do any work they're doing.
Car alarm should only be relevant if the mechanic locks the car, no?
Fast oil change shops, at least where I'm from, allow the driver to remain in their car if they want to. Personally I think that's about a dumb and risky policy, but that's how many fast oil change shops roll around here.
It's said that about 95% of car alarms are accidental triggers. Try working at an oil change shop, it'll happen at least 3 times a week. And down in the pit, the echo is so loud that the alarm might as well be inside your skull. And we absolutely cannot wear earplugs, the mechanics have to have clear communication at all times.
To make matters worse, some vehicles have aftermarket alarms and security systems where some bonehead thought it would be cute to make the doors automatically lock when you simply close the doors, even if the keys are in the ignition and the engine is running.

When driving, you should engage your turn signal before you start applying the brakes in preparation for your turn.

If you need to stop while walking on a path, inside or outside, step to the side. I can’t believe how many people just abruptly stop to look at their phone, have a conversation, point out something they find interesting… like my guy, would you do that in a car? Fucking GOOOOOO!!

Or at the top of the stairs/ escalator you just came up. There are people behind you with nowhere to go while you decide which way you want to go.
How grown adults can stand around, mouth agape, in apparent wonder that they’ve been transported to the next floor up just escapes me. It’s a conveyer belt behind you, Gladys, fucking MOVE!!! Just one or two steps to the side even if you still need to wrap your head around what just happened to you.

Yes! And to those getting out: don't stop or walk super slow the moment you are out, people are trying to get in, get out of the way!

This is my husband's "pet peeve", as he puts it. "Don't just throw on your brake in the middle of the road! Why are you slowing down? Signal!"

The red light cameras here will call that running a red light, you have to leave it clear by law. That's a spoken rule.

It's a written rule, but where I live no one seems to pay any attention to it.

I originally got this one from an Actual Advice Mallard meme.

Even if you have a green light at the crossrowds you shouldn't drive if you can see that you have no way of exiting the crossroads and would block others e.g. there is a traffic jam on the road you want to drive into.
(at least in Poland)

Since the majority of people in the world are idiots, and management tends to collect them at a higher rate than other roles, you will generally be rewarded more for how you make others feel than the amount or quality of your work. A person with a 10 in charisma and 4 int gets farther than the person with a 10 int and a 7 in charisma most of the time. Focus on learning better people skills. If you find a place where your work is recognized you should cherish it.
Also in the US the left lane is for passing the right lanes.
