1 Talking With Your Hands In Your Pockets

Content: France, Italy, Japan, and Spain all take this pretty seriously, so accept your meal as is so as not to insult anyone. You might not even want to request condiments if there are none at the table. You also should be careful about finishing your entire meal if you're in China, Thailand, Russia, or the Philippines, as this is taken as an insult that not enough food was provided. 7 Using Your Left Hand
That's right: in Africa, India, Sri Lanka, and the Middle East you might insult someone by doing pretty much anything with your left hand. There are a lot of theories out there about why this is the case, depending on who you ask. Some say that certain cultures view the left hand as evil and so using it is a real slap in the face to people around you. In many places the left hand is reserved for toilet duties so it is more likely that people are just trying to protect each other from a hand that might literally be unclean. Luckily, we tend to shake with our right hand anyway, so this isn't a huge adjustment to make when greeting those in other countries. 6 Showing The Soles Of Your Feet
In Muslim, Hindu, Arab, and Buddhist countries, it is considered rude to show the soles of your feet.
