What are the behaviors you see in public that you find irriting?

Question

I personally can't stand people who try to rush in the train before they let people inside come out.

Can't stand people who talk so loudly on the handphone.

Hate couple who behave like they are the only one on this earth, tickling each other, the girl talking in that sickening sweet tone while hugging the guy like he's gonna run away. All these in a crowded train, or packed shopping mall, or worse, on an escalator.

Got anything to contribute?

As I read your replies, I was thinking to myself, ya ya, that too, and that too, and that too!

'The black and white issue still, in a most serious way, still exists. God forbid........ The Muslin faith is still mysterious to me, why is murder, the killing of little babies, cabs full of high explosions, death in the night, road side bombs, the killing of innocent troops providing medical and surgical assistance to muslins by U.S. Military Personnel. Taken as an acceptable of loss to Muslins. If They destroy 2 to 3 thousand people in minutes, multiple commercial aircraft, why can't we (US) drop a few bombs (notifying the enemy)(the sorry bastards) destroying their MILITARY STRUCTURE). I want peace in the world. What price does the US have to pay????????'

What has this got to do with the question I was asking? I was asking a very mild question, and it has nothing to do with terrorism. Please, go post your reply to the right question.

Its people like you that irritate me as well.

Answer 1

Wow, I wonder if it wouldn't be faster if I told you which behaviors DON'T irritate me. Well, I'll list some common behaviors that I hate:

- Smoking around non-smokers, next to doors or in restaurants/places where people are eating.
- French kissing in public, especially when waiting in line or being in other people's face.
- Parents letting their kids be all over the place, out of control and loud, especially in restaurants, shops and trains.
- People who phone someone and when they get told that the person can't talk because they're busy or at a meeting they decide to try phoning the person on their cell anyway!
- People who talk about personal issues while in public transport. I don't wish to be forced to listen to what disease they think they caught last night or what emotional problem their friend is going through lately.
- Cutting in line.
- Not knocking, or knocking and walking right in without waiting a second for an answer.
- Staff in shops ignoring the customer, not saying a word to them or pretending they're not there.
- Cashiers who put the change on the table when the customer is waiting with their reached hand out.
- Staff answering the phone and leaving the customer waiting.
- People who stand chatting in the middle of a corridor or next to doors and don't make room for someone to pass them.
- People who walk many side by side on a pavement and don't make room for people coming from the opposite direction, forcing them to walk on the street to pass them.
- Littering.

How about people on cell phones in a restaurant, that won't even acknowledge the server!! And that talk so loud that everyone else has to deal with it.
I am a sever, and had a guy say to me after trying to take his order a couple of times,
"oh sorry, just trying to take care of some business" to which I replied, "oh well, we're just trying to RUN ONE".
Needless to say he was ready to order the next time I approached.
Do people really think they are the only ones on the planet??

Answer 4

Got an hour? Seriously, here's my list off the top of the head: Loud cell phone users, especially on those annoying walky talky type phones, people who talk in theatres, cashiers at supermarkets who never say a word to you, parents who think their kids' loud annoying behavior is just so cute, people in any place who use the 'f' word extra-gramatically and often, tourists who walk with their video cameras up to their faces with no regard for the physical space around them. I have to stop now - i'm getting too annoyed.

Answer 5

i totaly agreed 100% on the above :)

to add on to the list :

IN THE TRAIN ;
Parents who let their kids "monkey swing" and simply dont bother to stop them.

Incosiderate passengers sitting on the floor of the cabin, ignoring the crowd sqeeze.

Talk on the phone so loud that make everyone feels irritated. ( I notice many times are those mainland chinese of course not all so dont feel offended ok )

Desperate couples hugging, kissing, touching as if no one else around ( usually i will stare at them so they might feel shy n shop such unsightly gestures)

Occupying more than a seat with all the shopping bags, or while sleeping laying on at least 3 ~4 seats !! ( I have seen it )

Answer 6

I hate it when people are too lazy to put their carts back and they leave them to drift into my car in the parking lot. I am from a small town and people always put them away, but after moving to Houston I found this and so many other rude behaviors. I am truly living in a third world country here. Everyone does their own thing with no thought to common courtesy.

Answer 7

People all over each other kissing and touching GET A ROOM, I don't want to see all of that! People and their loud cell phone conversations, Idiots who cuss at their kids, people who stand in a line with others and light up a cigarette ewwww, if you want to smoke go ahead but dayuum you don't have to try to take everyone else out with you

Answer 8

I used to be a Janitor at a retail store and the thing that bothered me the most- is in the mens restroom I would find snot on the stalls. It is like they just picked their nose and wiped it on the stalls. I have to give the women props for me NEVER finding any on their stalls. Just some men are disgusting.

Answer 9

All of the above are good. How about the people in a crowded aisle who stop to chat in the middle of the only open path?

Answer 10

ok, this is my pet peeve... imagine you are talking to someone,and they don't look at you, but roll their eyes and flutter their eyelids like they are having some sort of seizure. all while they are talking to you. ewwww! i hate that! or the whining ,syrupy voice that drags on the last syllable , " Momma, why cain't Ah have a cookieeeeeee?" I hate that!!!! oh,and the crowded train/escalator ones are pet peeves too. I usually tell ppl,loudly, "Escuse me!!!! I need to piss and you better move!" They move fast!
