If you live with anyone else, whether it's family, friends, roommates, or a partner, and there is only one bathroom in your home, check in with the people you live with to see if they need to use the bathroom first before you take a shower. This especially goes if you are the type to take longer showers.
Nothing worse than having a bladder so full it feels like it's about to burst, and being just about to get up and use the toilet, only to hear the shower starting up from your roommate (especially if that roommate takes long showers).
This applies to sharing a hotel room with others too, as of course hotel rooms typically only have one bathroom. And although most hotels are also going to have bathrooms in their lobby, it's still a courtesy to check in if anyone you're sharing a hotel room with needs to use the bathroom first to spare them from having to make the unnecessary trip down to the lobby.
If you're someone who takes a really long time to do #2, it's also polite to check with whoever you live with to see if they need to use the bathroom first before you do.
With other things that can take up the bathroom for a long time, such as doing hair or makeup, these are things that are easier for someone to interrupt by politely asking "hey sorry to interrupt you doing your hair but I really have to pee, could you step out for just a second?".
Now, if you really don't want to be interrupted while doing your hair or makeup or other grooming rituals, then you also should offer first if anyone needs to use the bathroom before you begin your hair / makeup / other grooming ritual.
But if you don't offer to whoever you live with if they need to use the bathroom first before you start your hair or makeup or other grooming ritual, you really have no place to get huffy when someone politely asks you to step out for a second so they can pee. Nobody wants a bladder infection just because you're taking hours to get ready.
And the key word here is politely asking them to step out. Unless it's an emergency (such as you are about to vomit or other urgent and messy situations) then always ask politely if someone can just step out for a second while you use the bathroom, and only if it's the only bathroom available so you have no other choice. If it's not an emergency and there are other bathrooms available to use within a reasonable distance, then just go use the other available bathroom.

Internet Etiquette
Devastating! You just saw a take that you don't agree with! This is a check for reading comprehension and the practice of good faith. 
Analyze 
What emotion was this intended to inspire?
What was the goal the speaker was trying to achieve?
How could this be interpreted differently?
Is there context that would change the meaning?
Is the speaker qualified?
Reflect
What is your first reaction and why did you have that specific reaction?
Is it an issue that is harming you and/or did the group being harmed directly state that this harms them?
Do you accept the consequences that could result from interacting?
Is the speaker someone you can reason with?
What assumptions are you making about the speaker?
Speak
What is the goal of your words?
What audience are you catering towards?
Are you talking to the person with respect?
How could your words be interpreted differently?
What reaction will people have towards your words and how is it being achieved?

Social Etiquette 101
Do not manifest impatience. Be present in the conversation.
Do not engage in argument.
Do not interrupt someone else while they are speaking.
If you must, gently critique.
Do not talk of your private, personal or family matters.
Do not appear to notice inaccuracies of speech in others.
Do not allow yourself to lose your temper or speak excitedly.
Do not allude to peculiarities of the people present.
Do not introduce topics the people you are with have no general interest in.
Do not speak loudly.
Do not try to force yourself, or be intense, into the confidence of others.
When they give you their confidence, don't betray it.
Keep it light. Do not aspire to be a story teller. Tell short, light stories, appropriate with the current temperature of the rest of the party involved.
Use clear, distinct, gentle and firm words to express your ideas.
Be cool, collected and poised, using respectful and appropriate language.
Always defend the absent person who is being spoken about, as far as truth or justice is concerned. If you have nothing positive to add, leave the conversation.
Allow other people to share.
Don't talk about yourself so much. Your merit will be found in your expression of a subject without having to constantly praise yourself.
Slight mistakes and inaccuracies should be overlooked for the sake harmony and natural flow.
Adapt your conversation to the flow or level of the people you are speaking with. Do not under or over value them. Speaking to them how they understand, will provide more trust and comfort.

Having manners is actually really irresistibly seductive. To hear someone say thank you or please. To have someone give you the sincere formality of human connection / to watch politeness glow in one’s action / to have the kind courtesy laced in every demeanour / to be so gracious with one’s etiquette &  gentile decency of decorum / to hold modesty & virtue as the basis of respect / that is my type of “attractive & sexy” in a person / -

Isn’t it strange and wonderful when people who love each other start to resemble one another? The little mannerisms, the way of speaking, small aspects of their personalities and even their looks. So devoted they become mirrors, reflecting love.

hey! Do you have tips on being well mannered?
Always greet people/say "thank you" to others when any gesture, or act of kindness is done for you or opportunity given to you (either verbally or in writing)
Let others speak, feel/be heard, and never interrupt others while they're speaking
Greet/say goodbye to others with respect to their cultural norms and context (a handshake in a professional context/first time meeting someone vs. a hug or wave/kiss on the cheek to someone you know)
Don't take others' emotions personally. Respond with respect to your boundaries but display radical empathy
Wait your turn and allow others to have their moments to shine
Accept compliments and praise with grace and gratitude (say "thank you" instead of trying to explain it away)
Never show up as a guest to a dinner party or housewarming empty-handed
Always offer someone water to drink when they enter your home for a visit or a scheduled business meeting
Always be and appear clean, odor, and germ-free around others
Express gratitude for what you have and what others offer you (materially or emotionally)
Remain tactful, honest, and encouraging of others to also become their best selves in every setting
Hope this helps xx

Anyone can be heroic from time to time, but a gentleman is something you have to be all the time.

If you see someone pushing a stroller who is trying to get the stroller into a bus or up any other sort of large step, but they're struggling due to the stroller being large and/or heavy, you can help by grabbing the front of the stroller and lifting to assist with them getting the stroller on the bus or up the large step.
Depending on where you live, you might want to ask "is it okay if I help?" first, because some people might be alarmed by a stranger grabbing the stroller containing their small child, depending on the local culture. Although in some places most people are happy to receive help from a stranger, when in doubt ask first.
It's hard being a caretaker to a small child, and strollers can be cumbersome and make what used to be simple tasks, such as boarding a bus, suddenly more difficult and complicated. Helping caretakers of small children in little ways, such as helping them board the bus with their stroller, eases the endless and complicated difficulties that come with caring for a small child. It also creates a stronger sense of community when we look out for each other and help each other in small ways.
