You think? I owe you nothing, mate. Maybe the pleasure of my company but that's about it. neutral

My "thing" is people that don't say excuse me whenever they pass in front of me.

It drives me mental. Manners people, manners!!!

I hate when your with a group of several people and one of the people come up and start whispering in your ear in front of the others.....so akward.

Another thing I hate is when someone calls you and you say, "I gotta go, but I'll call ya back" and they're like "WHY".....non of your f'n business. Or when your on the phone and get a beep, then when you click back over and the person goes"Who was that?" uhhhhh, non of your f'n business, THAT'S WHO!

Sheesh.

Anyways, this is akward, it's my first reply in General Discussion, HI!

I can't stand those people that can't keep their paws of your shit! I mean the ones who when you are driving and their the passenger in your car and they have to touch every single button/knob and open all the consoles etc...or come to your house and have to touch or open everything and then don't even try to put it back anywhere near where it was when they started to play with it! Those are the same people that will put their drinks down on your table and leave a ring...and the coasters are sitting right there.
I just cant stand being around people that have no regard for anyone else but themselves, ya know! confused

I don't like when people call and don't identify themselves.

"Don't you recognize my voice?"

hmm


"Nope."

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. lol

I'm guilty of that, and that shifty gaze redface where I keep looking over people's shoulders, I'm sure that is really annoying boxed

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!' falloff 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! pissed



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" smile And he snaps back @ me (with a neck roll), "WELL I DIDN'T KNOW!!!!!" mad

eek "Okaaaaay, I was... just... letting you know." hmm


I wanted to slap his ass bitchfight BITCH don't be mad @ me b/c you have to ask this question every 5 minutes!!! confused

omg Stabbing the food like it's still alive like this then sawing it into pieces, then passing the fork to the right hand so shovel it in!

Drives me up the wall and puts me off food. Simple table manners are fast becoming a thing of the past.

what's worse is when someone calls and after you say hello they ask who is this?


err. who are you? hmm


dial tone

caller 1: Hi, I'm looking for ...
caller 2: Oh hello, I'm not aware of who that is
caller 1: Well maybe I dialed the wrong number, is this ...
caller 2: It is, the number is right but maybe I'm just not aware of who the person is that you are looking for, you might try calling back later to see if anyone else answeres or call back an leave a message
caller 1: I'll leave a message, thanks

hangs up

*caller 1 thinks about calling again but doesn't bother*

*caller 2 annoyed at the other line because the phone should not be answered*

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!! hmph!


I feel you on that. I was on a location promotion for the job and while the car sales folk are hitting us up for free stuff, there was this one little fat ass sales guy, young, and playing on his phone chilling in a chair next to the door. My promotions manager and myself are both women carrying tables and such into the venue. Well his little fat ass looks up and can see that we are STRUGGLING to open the door with tables and furntinture in our hands and his ASS STAYS THERE! And you know what? I was actually looking at a car and the fat ass' boss asked him to show me a car and I said "no thanks, nevermind" I'm not going to give him my business.
I mean, at work, we get a lot of packages all day and I always open the door if I see the FED EX guy coming to the door with a buttload of packages. I mean, so rude!

I don't know if this is a slip in etiquette.... You answe the phone, "Hello?" and the person on the other line goes: "Hello?" YOU CALLING ME!! I AIN'T CALLING YOU! Or then they ask "Who's this?" after they say hello. Mother F*&Ker, you calling me, I'm not calling you!
