Manners

Mrs_Arcanum

People at a give way sign who assume you will let them out & nudge forwards because every other car has been let through. Stuff you! If however, they wait to see if I will let them into the traffic I will.

Then I do things like let someone with a few items go in front of me at the supermarket. Gives me time to unload onto the conveyor belt & get my bags ready.

Even at home I insist on the children minding their Ps & Qs.

I don't know if mine falls under manners but the one thing that drives me crazy is people eating in supermarkets.

I can understand small children ect but an adult can honestly not be that hungry that they need to walk around the store eating. Just wait till you get to your car.

I think the another annoying thing about this is how often do they actually pay for the stuff they have eaten :mad:

I'm with you on this one.

Last week there was an overweight woman (bordering on obese) walking around the aisles stuffing her cakehole with a meat pastie. Could she not wait 20 minutes until she got out of the store?

What does dismay me is when parents stuff a sausage roll or similar unhealthy item into a kids mouth to keep them quiet - it really saddens me - particularly when the parents are themselves overweight.

Up here we call Greggs sausage rolls 'Geordie Dummies' due to their seemingly magical properties to keep a kid in a push chair quiet.

And as for women who walk the streets in pyjamas and/or dressing gowns during the day.........:mad:. It takes a few minutes to get washed and clothed - it is just lazyness.

Remember that as they are a direct descendant of Renaissance mating and power rituals, the only mannerly response to any matter of bad manners is to either kill or physically/sexually subjugate the person who offends you.

So it is put-up or shut-up really.

I thought tesco banned people from wearing PJ's in their stores? How disappointing!

She sounds so classy :rotfl:

I say sorry to everyone with regards to bumping into or getting in the way by accident situation. I always hold doors when I can and say thank you. Once though I said Thank you to an old woman because she waited for me to go first out of Sainsburys. The doors are automatic and the entrance and exit is fairly wide. I said thanks to the old bag and because she didn't hear me shouted 'Yeah, THANKYOU' :mad:

I shouted back of course 'I did say Thank you' but she didn't hear that either. I say it all the time I let other people go before me because I've got a pram and I know how annoying it is to be stuck behind people in the middle of the isle/pavement. Old people are especially guilty of this and in twos, take up the whole area no matter what.

It doesn't really matter wether or not they thank me but it is nice when people do. A lot of the time people just don't realise or just want to get where they're going.

Cars not indicating or just indicating as they are turning p***** me off something rotten. A bloke did this the other day indicated then immediately turned then shook his head at me as I was half way across. We could see each other from a good distance and as I assumed he was going straight ahead and went as you've got to be quick cars coming from all angles and no room for a crossing. I waited though because you never now, looks like I was right or I would have got squashed.

I hate supermarkets. They really do bring out some ill-mannered people.

I have to walk home with my shopping so that means I only ever use a basket (to be sure I can carry everything) which can end up quite heavy towards the end of the trip. I was shopping the other day and two children were running around my feet, screaming at one another. One ran straight into me, I almost dropped my basket on him (which had some heavy liquids in) but caught it at an awkward angle injuring my wrist. The parent broke her conversation briefly to glare at me, then turned back to resume her chat with her friend.

Then you get those people who have to chat right in the middle of a busy aisle. Again, dirty looks all round if you say 'excuse me'.

And the cashiers who are busy chatting with one another whilst serving you. Yes, I appreciate the job is boring but I don't want to wait for you to finish your conversation so I can pay.

Oh, I was in TK Maxx a few months ago and I bought a lingerie set. Whilst I was paying the cashier held up the pants, shouted across to the other cashier a few tills down "hey, look at these" and then said something about them being a bit 'different'. How do these people get jobs?! I actually really wish I'd complained or at the very least caught her name, but I was mostly just embarrassed.


I could go on. I was raised with manners so it always surprises me that some people can be so deliberately rude.

I hate it when someone invites you round, but keeps the tv on, normal watching volume, and expects you all to have a glass of wine and a conversation.

Sitting by someone in a room, when they either have a blocked nose, or just are breathing heavy.

Is like someone scraping their fingernails down a blacboard after a while to me.

Either blow your nose or stop breathing is going through my head. Have said to one person in the past, it's like sitting with Darth vader, sitting in a room with you.

Eating noisily, slurping drinks because they're too hot. Sniffing, belching, farting. Throwing rubbish on the floor.
Blowing their nose when you're eating, go to the toilet.
Parents who are either yapping on their phone or texting while their toddlers are running along the edge of a pavement, or around supermarkets.
Parents who think that cafes are some sort of adventure assault course for their kids & allow them to run around oblivous to the obvious dangers.
People who don't pick up their dog mess, or do & then hang it from trees.
Going on picnics & leaving the debris behind.
Anyone who thinks that I may be remotely interested in their conversation or music taste & don't appear to have a volume setting.
People who insist on standing so close in queues that they or their trolleys are touching me. Don't trample on my aura please.
People in general I guess.
Give me my dogs any day & yes I always pick up their mess & carry it if necessary for miles until I reach the next bin.
