After Penny helps Sheldon with his show, Amy tells him to demonstrate appreciation for her help. Sheldon does so and complains about all of the social norms as he learns about more of them.
Buddy travels to New York City and does not understand the societal norms. He acts in a manner that is not deemed socially acceptable for a man his age: he plays on rotating doors, jumps only on the white lines on crosswalks, and eats chewing gum off of unsanitary places, among other actions.
