"  Etiquette, on the road or off, is not a set of rules \u2014 it&amp;#039;s a way of living life according to a simple precept: Other people matter, too. The Golden Rule rides with you. Just because your seat back reclines doesn&amp;#039;t mean you must lean back all the way, especially in coach.  I don&amp;#039;t care how anyone else dresses for a plane or train ride; I can always look away. A tracksuit? Fine. But don&amp;#039;t smell like you just ran a marathon. Treat flight attendants with respect. &amp;quot;Please&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Thanks&amp;quot; cost nothing to say. The only way to say &amp;quot;Thanks&amp;quot; to the folks who clean your hotel room is with a ten-dollar or twenty-dollar bill left on the night table just before you check out.  Even if room service does add an automatic tip, cash is king, and a couple of bucks won&amp;#039;t hurt you. Same goes for the parking valet. The best boss I&amp;#039;ve ever had showed me another writer&amp;#039;s expense report \u2014 an obvious con job \u2014 before sending me out on the road the first time. &amp;quot;He&amp;#039;ll never write for me again,&amp;quot; he said. It wasn&amp;#039;t just the money. Trust and honor can&amp;#039;t be bought. Illustration by Adam Simpson "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
