Never leave your chopsticks sticking into a bowl of rice.

Always fold robes (and similar) left-over-right.

There are some places in the Chinese diaspora where leaving your chopsticks like that will get you soundly rebuked (or smacked if your parents catch you). That's a superstition that's taken very seriously in traditional Chinese circles.

Japan, too (though you won't get smacked for it there).
