Etiquette is a great deal for Indonesians. However, in crowded places like bus rides, roads
during rush hour, and public shows like sports matches, Indonesians might strike as having bad
etiquette for pushing and shoving around. In marketplaces, Indonesians have the habit of
bargaining too much. Women and foreigners might experience being cat called by Indonesians.

However, this does not purely mean etiquette doesn’t exist in Indonesia. In Indonesian
homes, there are humorous banters and lots of laughter. People have the habit of sitting properly
with their feet on the floor, with legs uncrossed, while senior guests are allowed for better
seating. Guests are always treated well in a polite manner, and drinks and snacks are usually
served after a short while to be enjoyed by the guest. In meals, people also eat politely, without
showing greed or gluttony, and hosts usually ask pardon if not able to serve a bountiful of meals.

Etiquette of Indonesians is using the right hand, whether to shake hands or pay money.
This tradition originates from Muslim customs. Slight bows are usually given to guests, elders,
or more respected people. Some Indonesians, mostly Muslims, also touch their heart area lightly
after handshaking. Indonesians do not have the habit of explicit confrontations; they mostly
avoid conflict or tend to settle one in a well-mannered way. However, a weakness common
among Indonesians is their bad punctuality, we even have an Indonesian term for it: jam karet
(rubber watch). Another striking feature of Indonesian etiquette is that opposite sexes, especially
in more rural traditional areas, rarely display their affection publicly.

KESIMPULAN

Etiket sangat bagus di Indonesia, Namun, di tempat-tempat keramaian seperti naik bus,
jalan selama jam sibuk, dan pertunjukan publik seperti pertandingan olahraga masih sering
terjadi dorong mendorong. Namun bukan berarti etiket tidak ada di Indonesia, sebagai contoh
Orang-orang memiliki kebiasaan duduk dengan benar dengan kaki mereka di lantai, dengan kaki
tidak disanrang, sementara tamu senior diizinkan untuk tempat duduk yang lebih baik. Anda
selalu diperlakukan dengan baik dengan sopan, dan minuman dan makanan ringan biasanya
disajikan setelah beberapa saat untuk dinikmati oleh anda. Dalam makanan, orang juga makan
dengan sopan, tanpa menunjukkan keserakahan atau kerakusan, dan tuan rumah biasanya
meminta pengampunan jika tidak dapat menyajikan berlimpah makanan. Selain itu orang
Indonesia juga menggnakan tangan kanan untuk berjabat taangan dan membayar uang yang
merupakan kebiasaan orang muslim. Selanjutnya sebagian besar menghindari konflik atau
cenderung menetap satu dengan cara yang santun. Namun, kelemahan yang umum terjadi di
kalangan masyarakat Indonesia adalah ketepatan waktu mereka yang buruk, kita bahkan
memiliki istilah Indonesia untuk itu: jam karet.
