Immigration to the United Kingdom: A research organization in the UK surveyed 2,000 British people and summarized the 50 most common household rules. The top two rules are not to throw shoes on the sofa and to flush the toilet after use. Other household rules include turning off lights when leaving a room, locking doors; not using profanity; not shouting; returning items to their original place after use; not eating in the bedroom; not using mobile phones at the dining table; washing dishes promptly; not speaking while eating; children can only play after finishing their homework; the last person to go to bed should check that doors and windows are secured; and so on.
Although some respondents do not fully agree with certain household rules, they acknowledge that these rules are in place to create a better home environment.
A spokesperson for the research organization stated: “Whether at home or elsewhere, people should adhere to certain etiquette.”
