Tic-Tac ediquette...Do you Have Class???

[RayVega]

OK, It appears a lot of people do not know this but there is a very strict rule set associated with tic-tacs. They are an integrated part of our culture and you can tell a lot about a person by their knowledge of these rules. you can also tell a lot about how you land on their social ladder by how they use them.

Now I may have left out a few, so add them if you see that I have missed anything.

Definitions:
1-The Tacker (Noun): the person giving the tic tacs.
2-The Tackee (Noun): The person getting the tic tacs.
3-To Tac (verb) to give or take tic tacs depending on the context.
4-To Double tac: to take two or more tic tacs.
5-The Show (Noun): To do the "Show" (verb): To make the taking of someone's tic tacs visible so they san see how many you took
6-The hand over (Verb/Noun): to hand someone your tic tacs allowing them to "tac" themselves.
7-To Host the tac (verb/noun): Where the tacker holds the box and taps out the tacs for the tackee
8-over-tacker, to over-tac(noun/verb): a person who, during a hosted tac, gives way too many tic tacs. two or three is good.
9-to re-tac(verb): to tac, close or lift the box, the tac again.


Basic Rules for the Tackee:
---------------------------
1-Never Double tac on a first time hand over, it shows greed and a compromise of the person's trust who did the hand over.

2-Always do the show on a first time hand over. You don't have to make it to openly blatent, just make the tac visible so they know they can trust you for the hand over the next time (at which time you MAY double, or even triple Tac).

3-Never do a third party handover unless you know the person. If they are a good friend, then the handover for you was good for them too. Make sure they single tac and show, as not to embarrass you.

4-If you drop a tic tac during a self tac it is ok to re-tac as long as you follow the rules above. never pick it up and eat it, and NEVER pick up a bunch and put them back in the box.

5-NEVER ask for a handover when a hosted tac is attempted, in some cultures you can be stoned to death for this.


Basic Rules for the Tacker:
--------------------------
1-Don't be a single Tacker! if you are hosting the tac, never single tac, it's shows you are cheap. I've decided not to do business deals with people because they were single tackers...what does it say about you?

2-Don't be a over-tacker. This ties into number 3. Don't give someone more than three tacs...it's considered showing off (very...tacky).

3-Always offer a handover after the first or second hosted tac. Unless they double tacked first time out or didn't do the show on a hand over, then you always host the tac. If they can't follow the rules...fuck em.

4-Never do a hosted Tac on your own hand. Unless you are doing a third party hosted tac and don't trust that they will do a show and avoid double tacking therefore getting your hand over privileges revoked.

5-If you drop a tic tac during a hosted tac it is ok to re-tac as long as you follow the rules above. Same rules apply about picking the dropped tac(s) up.

6-If a person follows the protocol on a first time hand over it's ok to ask them to take more then one if you like. In this case, it IS insulting not to accept and take a second tac (nobody refuses a second tac, if you do, seek help immediately).

7-It is expected that if you know the person for more than five years, or are a blood relative of first cousin or closer that you do the handover automatically.

8-A show is never expected by direct relatives even on a first time tac.

9-Always offer others in visible site some tic-tacs if you are doing a hand over, don't put the poor tackee in the uncomfortable position of not tacking others when they are not even his tacs to tac.

Let me know if I missed any...
