that is insanely rude! I hate people that don't buy their round. Simple as that. I don't care how broke you are, I don't care that you've just gone through a messy divorce, you've been sacked and you've had to remortgage your house - if you're down the pub, you buy your fucking round. | |

This thread. Seriously, I was thinking of something like this yesterday... A few, including ones mentioned by other Orgers already: ~ bad table manners ~ not saying 'Please' or 'Thank You' ~ people who say 'What?' when you ask them a question. PARDON???? ~ door slammers. The handle is there for a reason, believe it or not. ~ mobile phone users (you know the ones I mean, yakking in public, ) ~ as Anx said, people who ask to taste your food. One of my best friends does this constantly and it REALLY pisses me off. Yes, it is tasty. That's why I chose it. Now eat your own. ~ people who cough or sneeze without making any effort to shield it from you. Keep your germs to yourself. Glad to see there are some people with manners here.

I have a really good friend who you'd SWEAR was trying to break my window every time she gets in & out of my car I think I jokingly said once, "Girl you're gonna break my window! Go easy on it." But she's since forgotten. I wanna say something again but I don't want it to be awkward, & I don't want her to start driving - THAT would be a nightmare be strong, little window | |

Broke ass friends wanting to come round and hang out and then act as if they're BORED once they get there, wanting to go out and do something in town, when they damn well know that if we do, I'll be the one paying for it! | |

I've lived in a few shared houses and it's the one thing - this is ridiculous - that always drives me nuts. If it's 5am and you need to use the bathroom, fine. Go and use it. But do you have to race up the stairs like you're running for your life, slamming the bedroom/bathroom doors behind you. I'M IN BED. Even if it's 5pm, it still pisses me off. That noise. I hate to say it but think I know where all these little rules come from - my father. If I slammed a door as a kid, I'd get 'Use the handle'. If I said 'What?' it was 'Pardon?'. He's an asshole but at least he instilled some decent values in me. Weird to think how these little things get so ingrained that I'm still doing it. | |

People who have entire conversations via text messaging. A quick question or comment, fine, but they get free texts on their network and I don't, and they end every single message with a question. If you want to have a conversation, CALL ME. | |

OMG, you would hate hate HATE my apartment The bitch upstairs is always running around like it's damn fire, slamming doors, letting her kid slam the cabinet doors & throw shit on the floor all day - it's like a fucking bowling tournament up there!!! I'm very sensitive to noise. When I was a kid we were FORBIDDEN from slamming a door at any time. If we even slammed one by accident we had to apologize So I never slam anything & now I got this bitch upstairs | |

It's REALLY annoying though
I'll re-iterate about the talking on mobile phones when you have company too. I get personal calls at work or in the company of other friends, and unless it's important I will always let them know that I can't stay on and chat. We get to the point of the call and politely end the conversation. No-one is inconvenienced or offended. I don't see why everyone doesn't do that. | |

Saying all this, I'm the one who has been told to turn his music down about a million times over the years. | |

RIGHT or if it's a call you have to take even just for a few moments let your company know so they're more at ease! "I have to take this, it'll just be a minute." SIMPLE | |

I never - or very rarely - answer my phone when I'm in the company of others. Or, if I do, I keep it short and sweet. Why bother having company if you're going to spend the entire time yakking to someone else?? Strange how some people get so funny about it, though. One of my mates feels exactly the same way as I do on this issue. But... if she calls me and I'm unable to speak, she gets in a right strop! You can't have it both ways. | |

ooh, i'm an offender on a couple of these...i'm bad with eye contact. it's a comfort thing. my friends probably don't notice as much, but at work i can hardly stand to make eye contact with anyone. if i were famous, i'd be one of those celebrities with bodyguards who say "please don't make direct eye contact with mr. anx". i think it came from living in new york, where if you were walking down the street and made direct eye contact with the wrong person, you'd suddenly be burdened with their requests for money or snared into their web of weirdness. also, eyes are extremely telling features to me. i guess if i'm not comfortable around certain people, i don't want them "reading" what's in my eyes, though i'm sure my co-workers aren't THAT deep. | |

Well, i happen 2 work in salez at the moment, and i'd have to say, because the department store i'm working in has been refurbished and move around, i get ladiez asking where they can get hosiery, pantyhose etc are. But with some of them, when i tell them they're response is rather aggressive like 'well! right then!' and I end up being the person who sayz 'ok? Thankz, no worries then!' and they just walked off without giving me the simple courtesy of a thankyou! It pisses me off, cause i could just tell em to go ask the info desk instead- i just did them a friendly gesture n they can't say thankz- it doesn't take two shakez to even say it!
Also, spitting gross thingz out of your mouth at a restaurant...use a damn napkin and be discrete yes, but please i don't wanna see your see-food it would put me off my meal if it lookz too hardcore! OHHH GOD. And the fact that chivalry is dead. Once i had finished yet another long day of being on my feet and had a crap load of bagz to take with me on the train...i was looking for a seat when this male pushed forward with one tiny briefcase n took the nearest spot before i could! My jaw literally dropped cause i had all this shit on me and he never even thought to get off his ass n gimme a seat! When men don't offer their seatz to ladies, old people, people on crutches and pregnant ladiez, while they sit reading their darling newspaperz- pisses me off!! Usually if i see some one who may need my seat more than me, i alwayz offer my seat up, cause it's sad that they must stand almost getting crushed on a crowded train or tram...it'z just ridiculous!! No hablo espanol,no!
Pero hablo ingles..ssii muy muy bien... "Come into my world..." Missy Quote of da Month: "yeah, sure, that's cool...wait WHAT?! " | |

I was @ a store a few days ago doing a return. The clerk dude asked me if I'd like to sign up for their email alerts or whatever. But I was just in the store the day before buying the bullshit I returned so I told him very politely & matter of factly, "I just signed up yesterday" And he snaps back @ me (with a neck roll), "WELL I DIDN'T KNOW!!!!!" "Okaaaaay, I was... just... letting you know." I wanted to slap his ass BITCH don't be mad @ me b/c you have to ask this question every 5 minutes!!! | |

I was in Mr.Sub a few days ago and these two girls were eating and gossiping. Eating like pigs. Talking with their mouthes full. Their cheeks bulging with food. Nasty stuff. It's worse when it's women because you want women to be feminine. Good eating habits are a must. Loud eaters are bad too. Where they sound like horses. | |

Posthumous said: when i hold a door open for someone and i don't at least get a GRUNT of a thank you, that's just
i always go smartass and say "you're welcome" anyway. i've been ignored every time. my biggest etiquette gripe, though, is when people aren't considerate of shared spaces or close quarters. oh, i'll just say it: PEOPLE AT WORK HAVE NO HOME TRAINING!!! if we're all in a room studying or working on something, you don't turn a radio on unless you ASK first. if you're too hot or too cold, you ASK if everyone is comfortable, and if they are, then your ass puts on some clothes or takes off some clothes or else you just SUFFER or LEAVE. and NO, we don't want to hear your phone conversations either. oh, and hey - guess what? my lunch IS very tasty, thanks a lot, and i don't want to share a bite with you! so don't ask! if i want to share, i'll offer! and when they don't accept the 'pass on'. I'm not going to let the door slam into someone's face or hold the door open for the 10 people following me, so please take the door from me and pass it on. | |
