New Etiquette Rules for the 21st Century

Watch this 4-minute long YouTube video of British etiquette consultant William Hanson talking about the new etiquette rules of 21st century living.

Listen to what he has to say about using mobile phones and electronic cigarettes in public—and to his views on social media.

(You don’t always understand what he’s saying? You might like to activate the subtitles.)

What do you think? Can we interrupt a conversation to take a phone call? Should we vape indoors or even check social media when we’re with others? I’d love to hear your thoughts on these topics.
