what is considered rude in your country?

Question

or considered disrespectul in school, community, etc

Answer 1

Lots of things.

Passing gas/burping
Bad language in public
Public displays of affection (PDA)
Talking/standing too close
Being late
Not saying please or thank-you
Talking with your mouth full

...there are so many more. I imagine that most of us answering this question are from the US, though. Do any countries have some really unusual answers?

Answer 2

Probably nothing. But I live in PA, I think loud mouthed people who just blurt things out about how your house smells or how your hair looks or whatever are rude, and I think burping or farting in public is rude, or when someone else is eating, or when you're not even that close to them. I think swearing a lot is rude... so yeah... and eating off of other people's plates without asking them if you can have it is sooo rude and annoying. >:(

I'm in Australia. We find spitting on the street disgusting and rude, people that just drop their rubbish out of car windows or into the gutter, people that speak loudly on their mobile phone in public, and people that openly claim that they are not Australian when they and their parents were born here....

Oh, and people that blatantly break water restrictions!!
