    When I was a Brit in school my teachers would often say to me ‘take your hands out of your pockets while speaking to me!’, so its more an etiquette thing rather than being rude, I’d say.

      Yeah its etiquette, but i think its everywhere.

      Idk where it comes from but it might be because most languages aren’t just spoken, but also gestured and its unnatural to hide your hands speaking.
