Part 1 Inside the elevator/entrace
$ev_name

For Americans, lending a helping hand is part of their instincts. They are mindful of others and expect the same.

• When someone holds the door for you, say “thank you”
• When someone follows you through an entrance, hold the door
• In an elevator, if you stand near the door, hold it and offer to press buttons for others

Part 2 Communal spaces
$ev_name

Americans are sensitive about general hygiene, especially in communal settings.

Office
• Throw out food stored in the fridge before it goes bad
• If you prepare food in the office kitchen, wipe up your crumbs
• After washing your hands, use paper towels to absorb any splashed water
• After using a meeting space, clean up and turn the lights off

Gym
• After using gym equipment, wipe it clean for the next person
• Any gym facility should have wipes and a spray bottle with disinfectant
• Wipe down all surfaces your skin touches when you're done with the equipment

Part 3 Personal hygiene
$ev_name

Americans take care to maintain their personal hygiene.

• Use deodorant to mitigate body odor
• After relieving yourself, please flush
• Wearing the same outfit every day is generally frowned upon
• Shower daily, wear clean clothes, and do laundry weekly
• Bring enough outfits to wear for at least a week
• Do not leave any leftover “leakage” on the toilet seats or step on the toilet seats
• Dispose of used sanitary pads properly

Part 4 Talk and interact
$ev_name

Despite Americans being considered loud, they adjust their volume to their setting. They also value personal space more than other cultures.

• In an office setting, keep your volume down
• Do not crowd people and avoid inappropriate touching
• When in a queue, leave a lot of space between you and others
• When talking with someone, keep space about 3 feet from others

Part 5 Sneezing
$ev_name

Americans are mindful of bodily responses like sneezing. When someone sneezes, others will acknowledge it.

• When you sneeze, say “excuse me”
• When someone sneezes, say “bless you” (common)
• Or, say “Gesundheit” (it means “good health to you” in German)
• When someone says “bless you” to you, you reply “thank you”

Part 6 Small talk
$ev_name

Whether informal or formal situations, acknowledging the presence of others is almost a fundamental part of American life.

• In the morning, say “good morning”
• When you leave, say “goodbye”
• When you bump into someone you know on the street, say “how’s it going?”
