Whether you're getting a massage or gambling in an illegal poker room, now you can learn the protocol on the internet instead of plunging blindly into an unfamiliar social situation.

Also of interest are the protocols for familiar situations (getting the check at a restaurant, etc.) but in different places all over the world.

Being given the gift voucher was awkward, or the massage itself?

21Q - I'm sure you could look up the protocol for any given situation or manners in various countries and find it on the internet. But I don't think there's an existing consolidated, wiki-like site for these. Kind of like how you can look up any slang but urban dictionary is still really useful.

Then you get to old or jaded to care and see the situation as added colour to life.

Then again, if people start pulling out firearms!

[zt] Yes, I too recognise this Ur-Protocol for Uneasy Situations. Also, you mean "steeling", not "stealing".
