When you go to a stranger's house with a friend & aren't properly introduced...

[emag]

Ok, say you go with your friend to his other friend's place. You have never met your friend's friend. Unfortunately, your friend doesn't know proper etiquette and doesn't introduce you to his friend.

Now, are you supposed to go and introduce yourself to the person, or do you wait until they greet you and then introduce yourself?

If there is only one person in question then shake hands and introduce yourself.

If you walk into a room full of people that you don't know, then I don't know.. but be sure you know that they will all be looking at you trying to work you out

it depends on the culture. in arab culture you wait till they extend their hand first. also you shake with your right hand only because the left is seen as the hygene hand

in asian culture you wait till they extend their hand first then you whip out your wang and let them know how inferior they are

how inferior their asian wang is?


and to the OP

If you are strangers you should not be in there house unless you've been invited.while they invite you is when you should introduce your self. however Most people won't introduce themselves.

If you're that shy, and there's a group of people just ask your friend to introduce you. You should have some idea of whose house you're at anyway.

Otherwise, when you meet the person, man up, offer a handshake and say "Yo, I'm <buddy's name here>'s friend <insert name here>, 'sup"

Problem solved.

You should repremand your friend in front of their friend for not introducing you. Not a harsh repremand just like a little hint that they accidently forgot to introduce you.

I always do, just cuz I'm at their place and I'm guessing they'd like to know who they just let in the door.

It's usually nothing more than a simple "whats up man, im ______" and they say their name and we usually have a pretty good time.
