    Say your country, and then tell/advise people WHAT NOT to do if they ever come to your shores or within your borders..

    I'll start :D

    UK wide...

    This should go without saying but, don't go forcing others to do what they don't want to do.
    The best example I can think of is this gang now convicted who tried enforcing Sharia Law here harassing the public in East London - don't do that in my country.


    IDK...
    One for London;

    Don't stand on the left - stand on the right of the escalators on the London Underground.
    People walk on the left, stand on the right, don't stand on the left. - It's annoying.. but forgivable;
    If you must stand, please stand on the right.

    You don't tug on superman's cape
    You don't spit into the wind
    You don't pull the mask off that old lone ranger
    And you don't mess around with Jim

    In the US, or every major city I've been in here, we also stand on the right and walk on the left, because it's exactly how we drive as well. Slow drivers on the right, fast drivers on the left.

    Even in a less big major city like Stockholm, that is the rule too. Usually it is really easy to tell apart locals from small-town people by observing their behaviour in the subway escalators. :p

    You mean there are bigger cities in Sweden?

    US.

    The left lane is for passing, not camping out or dawdling. Don't camp out in the left lane on the freeway....

    It doesn't matter if you stand on the left or the right or in between...

    In the USA, we have, and love bacon. One should never, ever, fry bacon in the nude.

    I've been to two, including one that reminded me of home (London).
    Well, I've been to 3 if you count Scranton, but, nah, I've been to Philadelphia and New York City.

    In Sweden, you should not stand to close-by at buss stops and never sit next to anyone on the buss. And the greatest taboo of great taboos is talking to strangers; one must not talk to strangers unless one wishes to be labelled a creep. :p

    I've heard Iceland is much the same.

    Talking to strangers is how I met my first fiancee. :D I met her while we were filling our cars with gas.

    We stand to the left, and let fast climbers pass you on the right. Same as road rules.

    Taco Shells +1

    The splatter missed but barely. A lesson taken to heart.

    Why? They're the fancy zones where I live. Where the rich and the arty live/hang out.

    Ditto. Never sit next to someone on the bus/train unless it's the last spot left.

    I love London.

    Cities are great at this, aren't they.

    Saw two beautiful girls in a drop top black Ferrari 458 Italia the other night at Oxford Circus.
    I was left thinking 'It's okay but that gold plated one I saw in Chelsea was pimp.'
    A lot of money in London, not as much as Dubai, but in Dubai, you throw around gold plated business cards worth about $25k USD...

    That's F'you money.
    I wish I was from Dubai.

    Jeebers, that takes me back to my childhood. As the spawn of Folkies, Jim was unavoidable.

    He means the inner cities where you get shot if you wear red in a blue neighborhood, or visa versa.

    I am referring to the Bloods and the Crips, not Republicans and Democrats.

    We don't have any such thing in this country. Our inner cities are filled with hipsters and millionaires.
