The Ride Guide
Ola, one of the world's largest ridesharing platforms, has today launched Australia's first-ever guide to rideshare etiquette, The Ride Guide. Developed with Susie Wilson, one of the nation's leading experts on modern manners, the guide helps Australians navigate the world of rideshare with plenty of tact, charm, and as little awkwardness as possible.
The Australian rideshare industry is growing at a rapid rate and Australians are jumping on the bandwagon, taking more than 2 million rides each week. The Ride Guide seeks to take the guesswork out of how to behave in your rideshare and provide a set of etiquette tips and tricks to ensure both passengers and drivers have the best ride possible. From passengers who think their drivers are furniture removalists, to drivers who don't understand that riders are not interested in their 'life-changing' pyramid scheme, Ola wants to tackle these issues head-on.
Ola has enlisted modern-manners expert, Susie Wilson, to help set etiquette standards for rideshare riders and drivers.

How to call out casual sexism Don’t stay silent. Written by Lucy Cheek , 9 Min read
March 04, 2018
Whether it’s a sexist joke cracked by someone who should know better, a painful ‘mansplain’ or a catcall in the street, it’s often hard to know how to respond to casual sexism – or whether you should respond at all. Here are a few tricks you can keep up your sleeve.
There’s a change in the air; a front of women who are calling out gender bias and harassment. We’re fed up of being judged on our appearance and life choices; of sexism masquerading as ‘just a joke’. But despite the fact we’re refusing to stay silent, casual sexism is still alive and kicking.
Etiquette expert Susie Wilson says while attitudes are shifting, we still have a long way to go. “Sexism still exists in many ways. It’s an easy and guaranteed way to get heard whether it’s the man or the media looking for the attention, or both.”

Mum’s Grapevine enlisted etiquette expert Susie Wilson, founder of Susie Wilson Finishing School Melbourne to answer those tricky baby shower questions, including if you should open the gifts in front of your guests.
When should you throw the baby shower?
Baby showers take place before the baby is born – usually six to eight months into the pregnancy. You don’t want to have it so early that you jinx the pregnancy but you don’t want to leave it too late either just in case the baby is early! About a month or so before the due date is about right.

Finally, use your manners at Christmas.
“It’s time for graciousness. Repeat all those lovely common courtesies people are forgetting to use today,” etiquette expert Susie Wilson says. That starts with acknowledging Christmas invitations.
“There is nothing ruder than guests who forget to RSVP,” Wilson says. “If you are fortunate enough to have been invited somewhere for lunch, accept or decline the invitation with grace.”
Once accepted, never ever go anywhere empty-handed.
