There are a bunch of little things I notice when it comes to a lack of manners.
For one, it used to be generally accepted that wearing a hat indoors is rude. Some people wear them at the dinner table.
(For the record, I remove my hat while indoors.)
There's a long list of other things I could go into, but now is not the time.
