Etiquette Rule #37

In the Belarussian culture, one must neverwait patiently in a line. The proper technique is to push and shove to the front, always looking for an opening to sneak in. And of course, it is vitally important to act as if you have done nothing wrong. : ) Another interesting bit of culture is that when one or two people stop to look at something, suddenly an entire crowd has gathered around to see what's going on. So a fun game to play is for one to grab a couple friends in the grocery store (preferably people you know) and start to look at something intently, then see how long it takes for a crowd to gather around. Come on over here and try it out!
