Back in 2007...

...I had a rant about BAD Manners.

Despite the passage of time, things do not seem to have improved.

I have a number of pet hates as far as BAD manners are concerned...

1. Personal HiFi / iPods played too loud - HEY 'DEAF-EARS' IF I WANTED TO LISTEN TO THAT I'D BE PLAYING IT ON MY OWN SYSTEM...
2. Queue jumping - Of course we don't mind (doh) we are just standing here for something to do...
3. Barging folk out of the way without a 'by your leave or thank you' - Sorry I'm not a mind reader, I didn't realise you wanted to walk exactly where I currently am...
4. Chewing gum with mouth open and making horrid "splonching" noises - GROSS!!!
5. Elderly folk who think their age gives them the right to be served first even when the shop staff are dealing with another customer - We all have to take our turn...
6. Folk who continue to maintain a conversation on their mobiles whilst at the check-out - RUDE OR WHAT!!!!!!
7. Nose picking - ULTRA GROSS!!!
8. Able-bodied folk parking in disabled parking spaces - Lack of consideration, I hope they never have to contend with this problem when they have a real need...
9. Parents not keeping their children under control and condoning bad behaviour - If you can't be bothered with your kids why do you think the rest of us might be...
10. Folk who put their feet on seats on public transport - I just hope you are wearing something really expensive when you sit down on something yuk...

Oooooooooo, I could go on and on, but it's not very good manners to bore ones readers to death (LOL)....................

I'm with you all the way!!! Well, except for one... I have been known to put my feet up on public transport - but I usually slip my shoes off, and never make the opposite seat dirty lol.
Some things I also find annoying: drivers who don't indicate - what the heck do they think indicators are for - decoration?? mothers who push their babies in prams/pushchairs into the road before crossing - just hoping the car drivers will slow down or stop before hitting their children! People who say 'axe' instead of 'ask'... especially prevalent in Eastenders (which is why I had to stop watching that programme). Making up a word out of two other words, when either one of the original words is perfect enough - like 'guesstimate' and 'chillax' - I have no idea why this irritates me so much, but it does lol.
It does feel good to vent a little lol.
