Como ustedes saben, el nombre de etiqueta proviene de los letreros que se ponían en los jardines de Versalles, en los tiempos de los Luises, para indicar lo que estaba prohibido por orden del Rey. Me parece que la etiqueta siempre ha tenido su origen en algún aspecto útil o de sentido común. Ejemplo: La costumbre de saludar con la mano derecha, se remonta a la Edad Media, en la que los hombres cargaban arma blanca bajo el manto. Al saludar al otro, le estamos demostrando que no llevamos espada o puñal (Salud, JC) para hacerle daño y de esa forma mostramos nuestra buena voluntad y honestas intenciones.
Hay distintos tipos de etiqueta: for work, letter writing, for official receptions for sex, to use an online chat. On this occasion I would like to talk a bit about the label everyday, that we use in our daily lives and that has nothing to do with a dinner at the French embassy or tea with the British consul.
Ten common mistakes we make in everyday label. Van:
1) Shaking hands with the people sitting at the table .
Me seems unforgivable, when I'm eating, sitting at the table in my house, in a restaurant or anywhere else (eating, not drinking or chat) get one and I shook hands. The reason is eminently practical: I have my hands lavaditas, and the person who comes to greet me, come with their own dirty, leaving its colony of bacteria in mine, so I have just two options: stand it and still eat with dirty hands or going to the bathroom to lavármelas again, while another comes gushing to my table. What to do in these cases? When I meet someone I know, I can go to the table to greet him and his companions briefly, a nod and a firm voice greeting and warm, will suffice. If there is a lot of confidence with the guests, I can give you a pat on the back or shoulder, to greet them, but more importantly, I should be as short as possible so as not to intrude. None of hugs and pats of applause thunderous seals that make the whole place turn to us. Discretion and prudence, is the guideline that does not fail.

2) The woman does not rise when he was introduced to another woman or an elderly man . There
belief, unfortunately widespread, that a woman should NEVER stand when you have someone. When should stand the lady? When the woman who is older presented to it, a social level significantly higher than it, as a celebrity, when the woman presented to be pregnant, or when the woman presented to be married and one single. The same approach applies when you have an older man to a woman, this should also stand as a sign of respect. It's a matter of hierarchy, because as my friend Rocio Maisterra, "Always, there have been levels." If you do not want to fail, women, get up whenever they submit to another woman and you will see the image of a simple natural and warm.

3) When entering a restaurant or public place, the man enters behind the woman.
Here is an exception to the rule of "ladies first". When a man becomes a woman at a restaurant or public place must go a step or two ahead of her, to find place to advertise with the captain or just make sure it is safe for your partner. Once you have table, will walk in front of women, ensuring that it follows closely (if couples can hold hands), once they reach at the table, the chair had been placed to the female, this work should not be delegated to the waiters, who do may pull up the chair from him, who will be the last to sit down.

4) The man with a woman, walking up or down stairs behind her.
Another exception to the rule of "ladies first". It is he who should go first steps to avoid giving the impression of seeing him go back legs and his companion. When down stairs, he will first offer his hand to his partner if a slip or in the worst case, to prevent her body continue to run until the next floor in the event of a fall.

5) Letting the sunglasses, indoors or when we have someone .
If you are not Aristotle Onassis, or Claudio Rigo Tovar Yarto Caló group, when we enter a confined space is necessary that we take off our sunglasses. If we are going to present to someone, it is also absolutely essential that we remove them but we are under a sun Guadalajara in mid-May in the street at 12 pm (after we presented and salute it, we can relocate). The same advice goes when we get to a guard booth will see the difference in treatment when allowed to be seen by the other. Cardinal sin: let the sun glasses in a taco and even worse to port as we refine each crop and pastor, will be the spitting image of a bodyguard Toluca or a union leader of the SNTE. The dark glasses at wakes, they have no reason to exist unless the deceased family member and your eyes are in disastrous conditions. Even then, you should not wear glasses so dark, but translucent, that in such cases are more elegant and sober.

6) Putting ourselves the title of Mr., Mrs., Miss or any college degree .
This really is horribly cheesy. Presented as: "I am Doctor Ivanovsky", advertised as: "On behalf of Mrs. Ramirez" or sign a letter as "Graduate Trophy Zarate is extremely parochial and denotes an inferiority complex. Remember that the titles of Mr., Mrs., Miss, Mr. and Mrs., are signs of respect that we give them other people, not us. Using degrees as equivalent to titles of nobility in Latin America is extremely common villager. Have you noticed the business cards of Americans? They rarely mention his profession, only include names and surnames. Point. Hereinafter: " Zoila Vaca Del Corral, mucho gusto."
7) incorrectly dressed to attend a funeral. Speaking
funeral clothes, women tend to commit two errors extremes: tight clothing, short or too sexy, or fox, for the funeral, just to be all black with black stockings think they already did it. The other end, especially in women fifty years later, is going super façade, knitwear, jackets and shoes nursing nun. A suit of good quality, with a clear blouse (no need to wear black from head to toe), skirt that covers the knee or longer, according to fashion, and very discreet jewelry (pearls or diamonds simple, avoid all costs, gold jewelry, the large and ornate colors), medium-heeled shoes and makeup line pretty unobtrusive (no need to go wash face), will make them look elegant and appropriate. A bag simple, sober, and matte coat and gloves in the wintertime, to complement your outfit. Remember
that in our Western culture, not just black is the color of mourning, so is the target (which is extremely elegant and gives a touch of light and hope at the time), gray, brown, blue Marine and purple for the Catholics. Avoid at all costs the blues, reds, greens, oranges and any bright color.
Men will always appropriate pants and dress shoes, long sleeved shirt in neutral colors and dark coat or jacket. Of course, if no budget, the suit dark or neutral color is ideal, which can be worn with or without a tie, which should always be dark. Avoid tennis, jeans and casual pants.
Children under twelve, for any reason dressed in black, instead use neutral colors, preferably white.
Recall that the dismissal is that we give to our loved one, arreglémenos appropriately for the event.
8) The man gave him the inside of the sidewalk to the woman.
In the Middle Ages had not piped drainage, so the waste (of all kinds, and when I say of all kinds, I mean ALL) were thrown into the street, so passersby were exposed to splashes and puddles of questionable origin. At the time of my grandparents said that the man walking with a woman, leaving her on the outside of the sidewalk, was "selling." Nowadays, if we go with a woman, she walks around the inside of the sidewalk and the outer man, and protect it from possible spanking lewd motorists. Of course, as are the times, motorists may want to spank the man, but, for that is one, haha. To yield the sidewalk to a lady, the gentleman will walk up behind her and placed on the outside. The knights, or aspiring to, should give the inside of the sidewalk to women, children, grown men walking towards them in the opposite direction.
9) Do not turn off the cell phone in public events or ceremonies.
I do not think I have to dwell much on the subject. In the film, theater, religious or civil ceremonies, it is essential or minimum quench put the phone on vibrate. Nothing is more Monaco than a ringing phone in the middle of a concert, shows a total lack of consideration and respect for others and also interferes with the concentration of the actors or performers.
10) Treat contemptuously service personnel.
not know if that label error or lack of humanity, but I consider it essential to include this item. I think the nobility and quality of a person, are clearly seen in the way they treat the staff who served: waiters, captains, domestic servitude, maids, valet parking, etc. mistreat these people, just because you have a position of power over them is a coward and talk about someone very, very ashamed. It is essential to be polite, courteous, warm with those who serve us. Treat them badly just throws mud on us themselves. Respect the work and humanity of those we serve and treat everyone equally, without discrimination. I said.
