I was reading up on local culture and learned that where I live now, putting your hands on your hips is considered rude. I asked around and everyone agreed that it's not considered polite. I thought, "I don't do it that often, I'll just stop. It's no big deal."

I quickly learned that I put my hands on my hips all the time!! I have had a hard time stopping... so now I clasp my hands behind my back when I feel the urge to put my hands on hips. The whole "hands clasped behind your back" thing feels weird to me, but at least I'm not offending anyone!

Anyone else put their hands on their hips all the time? I am seriously using up like 10% of my willpower forcing myself not to do this every day!
