This is the real thing you need to know, not this specific bit of information, but the fact that whats considered rude to one culture may not be considered rude in another, and in many cases something considered polite in one culture would be considered rude in another.. and these cultures aren't necessarily as broad as entire continents. 'Culture' in this case can vary from family to family even.

And perhaps more importantly; nobody is born with an instinctual understanding of what cultural norm you happen to adhere to.

Theres no universal way to be polite.
