Hogging seats on a crowded train, not saying excuse me, watching videos on your phone with no headphones in. Sometimes it feels like we don't know how to act anymore. What we have been seeing, increasingly, is people breaking rules. Why should I play by the rules if nobody else is going to do that for me? This week on Explain It to Me, how to mind your manners.

New episodes Sundays wherever you get your podcasts. It's like that little monkey who was rejected by his family and found a plushie. I saw that, and granted, I think I was on an edible and I'm like, that's my purpose in life is to be other people's plushie. Hi everyone, this is Pivot from New York magazine and the Vox Media Podcast Network. I'm Kara Swisher.

And I'm Scott Galloway. Scott, you're missing the blizzard. As we tape, over 40 million people in the US are under a blizzard warning, by the way, and snow dropping three inches an hour in some locations. It really is still going on here in New York. Um, and it's crazy.
