Expected

NOT TO be anywhere around bling because it’s distasteful
NOT TO wear red, scarlet or maroon because it’s cheap
NOT TO focus on your own goals because selfishness is disgusting
NOT TO sit down without crossing your ankles because it’s tawdry
NOT TO be amoral yourself because it’s imperative that you conform to societal norms
NOT TO judge anyone else’s morals because it’s not your place to do so
NOT TO know about anything scandalous because it isn’t respectable
NOT TO complain because nothing yours is yours by right
NOT TO forget that there is much which should be questioned in society because complaisance is unthinkable
NOT TO ask questions in your own life because it’s annoying
NOT TO offer an opinion without being asked for one because it’s almost always inconsequential
NOT TO slouch because that’s excusable only if you’re a jellyfish
NOT TO fall ill because it’s inconvenient for everyone around you
NOT TO make plans because it makes you unavailable if your presence happens to be wanted
NOT TO swear because it’s unseemly
NOT TO drink because it’s undignified
NOT TO substitute good taste with a brand because that’s noveau riche
NOT TO avoid working hard because it’s unacceptable to be mediocre
NOT TO read anything which isn’t a serious academic work or at least literary fiction because frivolty is ludicrous
