What are your etiquette pet peeves?

Question

I really can't stand when someone blows their nose in public - especially in a restaurant while people are eating.

I also find it incredibly rude that people don't wait for others to exit before they themselves enter a doorway.

And lastly, a part of me always wants to say - "you're welcome!" to people who never say thank you when you hold a door open for them or do what is common courtesy.

..But then, that would be rude of me, wouldn't it?

Answer 1

People talking loudly on cell phones in public is my biggest pet peeve. And, by the way, I do that "you're welcome", but I don't say it in a snarky tone - it just makes me feel better to embarrass them.

Answer 2

I have a lot of pet peaves so Ill insight you on a few.
-when people go to pay at a store and dont have their money/credit card ready and cant find it
-when people drive on the shoulder and then try to merge in traffic which is the main cause for the traffic.
-when you let somebody in driving and they dont wave
-people that talk, abnormally loud on their cell phones in public
-when strangers spark of conversations with you in places where your just trying to hurry and get smoething done, like the gym.
-when youre at a restaurant and people you are with are extremely rude to the waiters.

I have many more but im getting mad thinking about it.

Answer 3

It bugs me when people try to enter an elevator before everyone has exited.

I hate it when people mill infront of the door at parties instead of rotating into the room.

Likewise for youths at the mall covering the entrances and exits.

I guess anything that impedes my movement really bothers me.

And body grooming, Picking your teeth, clipping our nails, or finger in the ear....(shudder) people picking at scabs, or scratching there head, over and over for like 20 minutes.

Eveyone needs to make small adjustments, or a polite itch here or there, just don't go to town where people can see you. Take it to the restroom if you need to get to business.

I guess number one that get's me is parents letting their children be wild. NOTE, not just crabby because they are hungry or tired...

I mean running crazy banging on things, jumping on chairs, slamming carts into walls over and over. Pushing their siblings into pedestrians. Screaming bloody murder to hear their own voice. And the Parent has this timid voice... "C'mon timmy, C'mon... Please timmy...You know we don't like that...if you do that again....okay timmy...C'mon timmy...do you want a snack? Timmy come have a snack...C'mon timmy put that down..." And Timmy has now destroyed the building worse than any rockstar in history has ever destroyed a hotel room.

It is like chewing broken glass. Twice really. It takes your peace now. And again in the future when that child will be an uhappy adult because their parents were unable to teach them the life skills they would need to survive and be a healthy productive individual.

this can were said to the police. If it exceeded off on the prompt, it isn't any longer too previous due. We at present obtained a rescue dogs, and both the organization and my vet said staying faraway from dogs parks. Your journey seems to help that suggestion. After countless incidents with different dogs vendors, I now keep away from the community parks on weekends. The commonplace weekday walkers do not look a subject matter. i am hoping you and your dogs are ok. Your dogs may nicely be traumatized, too. supply her a tremendous once-over, and get in contact with the vet, only in case. in case you be conscious this guy on the park again, i'd leash your dogs and get in contact with the authorities. good success!

Answer 5

I don't like etiquette. But I do practice some of it. I will hold doors open for people and they don't always say thank you.

I guess, something that really annoys me is being cut in a line. That's just unbelievably disrespectful.

Answer 6

I hate it when u r planning to go out with bunch of friends and are waiting for one of them to come and they just take thier own time reaching there. Half the day out is wasted.

People / kids chewing thier food with thier mouths open, and parents dont even bother to tell the kids to keep thier mouth closed.

People at work with no or less office etiquette.

Answer 7

manners in general and how people really don't use them...i'm with you...i opened the door for an elderly gentleman in the post office the other day and he didn't even smile. no thank you nothing..burns me up when people don't even acknowledge you...i also feel like screaming "you're welcome" at them, but never do because it would be rude. i always say "thank you" if someone opens the door for me when i have my hands full. i guess i "do onto others as you would want them to do onto you".

Answer 8

I detest and hate when some one chews with their mouth open and smacks loudly when they eat. I also hate when I am out with someone who eats so messily it looks as if they have never eaten before! I also hate when I am on a couch at my home or someone else's and they put their feet on the coffee table with shoes on and even worse without shoes (I hate toes they gross me out)! Oh, and lastly when I go to use the rest room and to use the toilet and someone didn't flush it after using it or when it's obvious someone didn't wash their hands after using the bathroom and try to touch me or anything else that I may have to touch after them (eeeeewwwwwwww)!

Answer 9

I hate it when I'm out with friends and they decide to sample food off my plate. I don't like people touching and picking at my food. I also hate when people touch my straw in the glass, there is no need for that.

Answer 10

Poor table manners... chewing with your mouth open, using your utensil like a shovel, putting your elbows on the table, reaching across people... I have a million of them :-)

Answer 11

When I'm talking to someone on the phone and they put me on hold. And I"m not talking about business phones. This is to friends and family.
