Rude public behavior

[iloveboardwalk]

This is inspired by the bluetooth thread. I really had no idea that bluetooth was sooo annoying, I never even thought of it. I don't have it, but probably half the people who work for my broker do so I just never considered it rude.

BUT, since this seems to be the place, there are a few things that really tick me off:

1. Gum snapping. WHY must you snap your gum every three seconds? It's gross, stop it, spit it out, you look like a dummy.

2. Chewing with your mouth open, this goes for gum OR food. You...literally look like a cow. The sound makes my skin crawl and it is SOOOO rude. I do NOT want to see or hear anything you are chewing, no one does. Didn't your mama teach you any manners.

3. Hold the door open you rude $*&@%&*%, I'm RIGHT behind you!!!

4. Look, if you have 12 items in the 10 items or less line, I'm ok with that, the store is crowded, you had a long day, I get it. But, if you have 300 items in the fast lane, I'm going to ask you to let me go ahead, loudly sighing at me does not help your case.

5. If you want to walk slow, fine with me, but GET OUT OF THE MIDDLE OF THE AISLE!!!

6. If you really must bring your child to this restaurant at 9PM, you know the one, it doesn't have a kid's menu and the food is very, very expensive...fine, I guess. But please pick up the food off the floor before you leave, there is enough there to feed a small African nation.

7. Your body odor HAS to smell better than that perfume you're wearing...did you take a BATH in it??

8. GET OFF MY TAIL, I'm going 20 miles over the speed limit.

9. If you give your loud, obnoxious brat a swat on the toosh, it won't kill them and I certainly won't call the police. However, if you buy them that toy that they're crying for, I WILL roll my eyes at you.

10. Honey, half shirts are cute...on skinny people, I'm just sayin'

11. Also, your fading, fraying thong does SO not look hot hanging out of your too tight jeans.

Ahhhhh, I feel better already.

It must have been the day for #5 around my town today. Geez Freakin Louise I was beind every single old woman in this town who could not comprehend to not block the entire aisle in every store I went in. Even the walkways in the mall were a bear to navigate.

To add to your list...

When I get in line at the grocery store to check out...that means I'm done shopping. Do not wait until I get into the line behind you, unload my stash, and then decide you need something all the way at the back of the freakin' store. Getting in line equals done shopping...got it?

Alas...nothing. Not a gay bone in my body!

I wore flannel all day long...it was itchy, but I did it! I dug out my oldest pair of birkenstocks...the brown ones, they were kinda smelly, but I wore them. I watched Tomb Raider 3 times today...while I was supposed to be working. I prayed to Billy Bob and Ishkabibble. Nothin'! Nada! I don't know what I'm missing...

4. Look, if you have 12 items in the 10 items or less line, I'm ok with that, the store is crowded, you had a long day, I get it. But, if you have 300 items in the fast lane, I'm going to ask you to let me go ahead, loudly sighing at me does not help your case.

Or, the flip side of this which just happened to me this past week. If I am in the regular line with my cart full of groceries, and you come up behind me with just a small basket, don't automatically assume that I am going to let you in front of me, and then give me dirty looks and sighing. How do you know I didn't just let the 2 other people who came up behind me with a handful of items go in front? Well, I did, and now I have got frozen items that I need to get home to the freezer.

Sing it, girlfriend!!

Man, I think this thread might be some kind of therapy.

Hey, listen, I was doing ok with choosing to be gay, then I went to the mall. Three hours of 16-25 year old chubby chicks with their nasty thongs hanging out of their two sizes too small jeans and their belly flab falling "peeking" out from under their too short baby tees has me off girls forever. Lord have mercy, I'm no skinny minnie, but my clothes covers all my fat. Do these gals look in the mirror and see how unattractive they look? Manalive!

Ok, ok, ok, I'm off it, I had a really, really bad day today.

Hey, I resent you talking about me like that!

I agree! I cover my flub! My other beef with these kiddos just dressin' themselves these days...do I have to see your boxers boys? Can't you pull your ding dang pants up enough to cover your underwear? It doesn't look "hard" or "gangsta!" You look ridiculous. And, someday, someday, someday you're gonna trip and break your face! And, it will serve you right! Don't come cryin' to me about it. I'll just say, "See, I told you so. Now who's all gangsta!"

See, I've decide that people dress like this so you will look at them. Otherwise, they would never be noticed. If that same person had on a t-shirt and jeans that fit, you wouldn't even know they were there. Remember from Psychology 101, negative attention is better than no attention.

I don't mind if you bring your kid in his/her stroller into the store, believe me, I have kids too that once used a stroller, but MUST you park the thing in the middle of the aisle and then walk away to grab something 15 feet away?? Can't you take your kid with you or at least move the stroller to the side so others can go around it?

And please don't glare at me when I take it upon myself to move said stroller out of the way because I REALLY don't feel like backing out and taking the next aisle all the way around to get to something 5 feet away!

lets not forget # 3 and 1/2!

If I am polite enough to hold the door open for you, don't just waltz in like you own the place! Say "thank you" for pete's sake! And if you don't, then you have no right to give *me* a dirty look when I loudly say "you're welcome"

oh, and #3 and 3/4

If you come in behind me and I hold the door for you, grab the door if you have more than 2 people in your party. I am not the door woman, and someone WILL get a door slammed in their face when I let go.

On the same line. Stop wearing your jeans below your butt. I don't want to see your undies. GET A BELT! That's what they are made for. And trust me, if they fall down to your ankles I will write you up for in school suspension and laugh at you as they lead you off.

Great list . I love #8. Can't stand it when cars do that behind me, especially when they can easily go around me by changing lanes!

I also agree with most of the posts. However I do have a question about picking up food off the floor. Am I really suppossed to do that? I was taught that if anything feel to the floor to leave it there. For example if I dropped a utensil or napkin, etc. I thought that went for children also ( not dropping them of course lol). I'm talking about kids throwing food because the child should be removed in that situation. I'm talking about normal toddler behavior. If you do pick it up, when does one do that and where do you put the food?

I'm a waitress and you wouldn't believe some of the messes people leave from their children! Most people just leave it for us to clean up but there are a FEW who will clean it up themselves and we DO appreciate that!! I know it's "part of our job" to clean up the tables after customers leave, but when you have to get the broom/dustpan AND a mop to clean up after a child, well, it's just nice when the parents clean some of it up first. One time someone even brought in a drop-cloth that they put down under the toddler's high chair, THAT was REALLY nice!!
