Not Rude: Clamoring for a place in line when trying to buy something. I realize this is in the "not rude" category for a lot of countries but I think it's interesting when conflated with other aspects of Rwandan culture which are considered totally rude. For example... Totally Rude: Passing between two people who are having a conversation. Say two people are standing in a tight hallway talking to each other. If you need to get by it would be sooooo rude to pass between them. Also, if you put someone in a position where they are forced to walk in between you and the person with whom you are speaking, then they will feel beyond uncomfortable.
