Why do we all instinctively face the door in an elevator? Is it ever okay to "double-dip" at a party? And what's the official-yet-unspoken rule for how long you have to wait before texting someone back?

This week, we're diving deep into the hilarious, awkward, and fascinating world of unspoken social norms—the invisible instruction manual that governs our entire lives. From the "thank you" wave in traffic to the unwritten laws of the school hallway, we're exposing all the rules that everyone follows but no one ever talks about.

We're joined by a fantastic panel of student guests to get their take on the modern rules of social life, including:

• The complex etiquette of group chats, "read receipts," and liking an ex's post.
• How to navigate the "teacher code" and other unspoken rules of the classroom.
