There are many old customs and etiquette that people just don't do any more.
1. Standing up when a lady enters the room
2. Removing ones hat when entering a building, place of residence and a elevator.
3. Opening the car door on the passenger side in which she is sitting.
4. Calling her directly instead of text messages and e-mails with N.O.R.W.I.C.HComment
