    Hmm 9, I just naturally assumed it would be much higher because I’m kind of an asshole.

    Btw, there’s nothing wrong with shitting all over someone on Facebook and swearing in front of/at children at say a grocery store … I would be lost without these kinds of things in my life.

    8, in general we are very polite in Canada, some of them I counted because I wasn’t certain. I’m sure I have coughed on someone at some point but I don’t make a habit of it.

    Only 6. I’m so polite!

    I’m gonna say 10, although I may be off by one or two either way, cause I can’t specifically remember doing some of these, but I assume I have at one point or another.

    HUGS…

    11! However….I would like to point out that many of the things that made me an 11 have nothing to do with etiquette.

    4 for me!

      LIAR!

        Seconded

          1, 2, 21, 22 = not a lie!

            I bet you did #19 when you were a baby or small child. And I know you’ve done #6.

    6. And I may have done some unintentionally or when I was a child (coughing on someone, for example). Does commenting on someone negatively on facebook mean publicly or privately? Cause that would give me an additional point.

    6. It’s wrong to stare at boobs?
