Unwritten rules that MUST be obeyed?
Tonight, we went bowling for a friend's birthday. No big deal, we were having fun. Until THEY came. Two women, about six kids... They'd only paid for two people, but all were throwing balls down the lane they had. Annoying in itself, but then they started wandering in front of us as we started to bowl. They used our balls instead of getting their own. One of the kids grabbed my ball from right in front of me and rolled it veeeeery sloooowly down their lane, until it came to a stop and got stuck in the gutter.Only one of the women and the oldest boy had proper bowling shoes on. I could go on about returning they did that annoyed/infuriated me, but it would take all night.
Anyway, thinking back on it, where are the actual rules they were breaking. You technically are allowed to grab another players ball (*giggle*), it's just seen as rude to do so. But I was getting so angry about it! Now I realise I might've been a bit silly, but they really should've known!
So, what unwritten rules have to be obeyed around you? Have you been in a situation where there are "rules" you thought everyone knew but found they didn't?

If you're going to stand on an escalator, you stay to the left leaving a clear passage for others to pass on the right

If stopping for a chat with friends you have unexpectedly met in the supermarket, move to the side of the aisle so other people can get past. Do not just stand in the middle completely blocking the aisle and ignoring the stares of death coming your way from other shoppers. This also applies to footpaths etc.

If someone is holding the door for you you take it from then...don't just walk through and let them close it!

When the supermarket is busy situation: Express checkouts are there for a reason. Use them. Don't ask to push in at the other checkouts, would you like it if a full trolley asked to go ahead of you at an Express one?

when pushing your supermarket trolley keep to the left of the aisle. if you see something on the other side dont direct your trolley over there and cut people off and get in peoples way. argh i hate that. i suck at explaining but hopefully you ladies will understand.

If there are lots of toilets free you don't choose the one right next to the one other person in there.

What a fantastic thread!! I could be here all night
If you need to turn right and there is no turning lane, hug the inside of the lane so you'r not stopping everybody else to make your turn!

Don't just barge around a corner, especially near coffee shops in the morning before work starts or around morning tea time.

I choose the cleanest looking loo and check for paper. If there happens to be someone in the cubicle beside the loo I have chosen..... too bad.
I'm not going to sit in a dirty cubicle on the off-chance that my neighbour is a timid tinkler.
