Lemme see if I can post the correct answers here in a spoiler tag...highlight the text to read it. I put my own notes beside some questions, it's all just my opinions, nothing more, nothing official in any sense of the word

No 1. Tell a stranger you dont like their hairstyle?
No 2. Spit on the floor?
Yes 3. Blow your nose in public? *I don't, however, think it's correct to blow my nose as loudly as I want to, or shove the Kleenex up there like I sometimes want to either.
No 4. Ask a coworker their age?
Yes 5. Cry during a movie at the theater? *socially ok, but you might be teased for it anyways, specially if you're a man. Oh, and it's only ok to cry during the right moments of course.
No 6. Cut in line if you are in a hurry? *had to think about this one, I know there are some nt people who will do this anyways
Yes 7. Laugh when you yourself trip and fall?
No 8. Eat pasta with your fingers? *definitely a cultural thing, if you don't have utensils...
Yes 9. Tell a coworker your age?
Yes 10. Tell someone your opinion of a movie they havent seen?
No 11. Laugh when someone else trips and falls?
No 12. Wear the same shirt every day?
Yes 13. Keep money you find on the sidewalk? *assumed this was something under 100$ CAD, assumed I didn't see the person drop it too
No 14. Pick your nose in public? *inside your own car waiting in traffic I'd consider private even though it's not really
No 15. Tell a Coworker you think they are overweight?
Yes 16. Eat ribs with your fingers?
Yes 17. Tell a stranger you like their hairstyle?
Yes 18. Wear the same shirt twice in two weeks?
No 19. Tell someone the ending of a movie they havent seen?
No 20. Hug a stranger without asking first? *Totally another cultural question. If you answered yes because you're thinking about European/french greetings where you hug and give a peck/kiss on the cheek, you're not wrong....but you're not right for thinking about that specific situation either :-p
No 21. Talk out loud during a movie at the theater? *some people do, drives me nuts! Just like my campus library when was in university, I complained about people talking there once, and the response I got was 'we're allowed to socialize in a library'. Changing times or just a rude generation, dunno.
Yes 22. Tell a coworker you think they have lost weight?
Note that this is just one person or group of people deciding what's socially acceptable. I had to think about a few things myself, and wondered if I would get them right or not before scoring them. You might be right for whatever situations you're thinking of, and of course culture plays a large role in what's acceptable socially. Some may not even be pertinent questions for your culture.
