Good manners are important for considering the feelings of other people and being the kind of person that others will like and respect.
In the ‘olden days’ children were taught about the Golden Rule, “Always do to others as you wish them to do to you if you were in their place,” which is still a good way to behave nowadays, especially when you’re visiting other people’s homes!

In a TikTok video that went viral, a woman shares her frustration when her guests threw away their child’s dirty diapers in a bin, without properly wrapping them. That’s disgusting, and very rude considering it's other people’s homes!
Her caption reads: “Uncivilised guests.”
The video has since gained over 199.7 thousand views and over 1,672 likes.
Tossing a dirty diaper seems simple: Just chuck it anywhere that far away from you is the most convenient option. However, convenience does not equal basic etiquette and other factors like those who will be around to smell that diaper later.
According to Huggies, the best way to dispose of a dirty diaper is…
-
Dump any fees from the diaper into a toilet first. This can help to reduce odour and prevent bacteria growth.
-
Try to wrap the used diaper up as tightly as possible to reduce the risk of spillage. Use the sticky tape sections to help keep it wrapped up.
-
Carry along a supply of old newspapers if you’re out, so you can discreetly get rid of dirty diapers.
It’s not that hard to be mindful! Hope this helps!
