Nail chewing and hair flicking in public - does it really put you off people ?

Question

However attractive someone is, to me they become revolting when they obsessively chew their fingers, take them out to inspect, shove them back in to gnaw of another little bit of nail, regardless of how they appear to the rest of us. If they want to do it, fine, but do it in private, not on the bus, please.

And hair flicking ! Have you ever sat behind a woman who never stops finger combing her hair and flicking her dandruff all over you ? I was in a bakers once, and the woman in front did this constantly - all over the doughnuts ! Yes, they should have been covered, but I left without buying anything.

Am I the only person who feels like this ? And what things which people do in public revolt you ?

gorgeousfluffpot - I am in awe - what an excellent trick. A little bit of chewing gum would also be good, wouldn't it

PinkLove - I am talking about people who flick and finger comb constantly, all the time, without stopping. If they are sitting in front of me on the bus, their dandruff is going all over me, how can you say I'm too close ?

Answer 1

hey I'm with you on this Amsterdam, I HATE all this fidgeting and twiddling that people do. I was on a bus the other week and the girl in front of me kept flicking her hair back, over the seat which landed on my lap. So I stuck my book on her hair and then, when she leaned forward, her hair was being tugged and she was quite surprised. The next time she did it I secretly got hold of two lumps of her hair and tied them around the top of her seat, then left the bus at the next stop. I wonder if she's still tied up now !

Basic Training of the Puppy - Read here https://tr.im/6ljiI

The new puppy is certainly one of the most adorable and cuddly creatures that has ever been created. It is the most natural thing in the world to shower it with love and affection. However, at the same time it is important to realize that if you want to have a well trained adult dog, you need to begin the training process right away. The dog, like its related ancestor, the wolf, is a pack animal. One of the features of a pack is that it has a single dominant leader. Your new puppy is going to want that leader to be you, but if you do not assume that role from the very beginning, the puppy’s instincts will push him to become the leader.

The most important thing to remember about training the puppy during its first six months of life is that it must see you as the leader of the family pack. The essential thing is gaining the trust and the respect of the puppy from the beginning. You will not do this by allowing the puppy to do whatever it wants to do whenever it wants to do it. On the other hand, a certain amount of patience is required. Most people err in their early training by going to extremes one way or the other. Although you need to begin the basic training process at once, you can not expect your dog to do too much at first. Basic obedience training is fine and should include simple commands like sit, stay, and come. Remember that trying to teach the dog advanced obedience techniques when it is a puppy is much like trying to teach a five year old child algebra.

It is also important to restrain from cruel or abusive treatment of the puppy. You can not beat obedience into your dog, and it certainly is not going to engender feeling of respect and trust. House breaking is an area where this usually becomes a problem because of the anger that is triggered when the puppy fails and creates a mess inside the home. Although this issue must be addressed without anger, it most be addressed. If you allow the puppy to eliminate inside the house, it will continue to do so as an adult dog. The same thing is true of other destructive or dangerous behavior such as chewing and biting. Do not expect the puppy to grow out of it. You are going to need to train the puppy out of it, but you should do so firmly but with a sense of play and fun using positive reinforcement and lots of love and praise for good behavior.

Real nailbiting is annoying but I regulary get those little hooks at the side of my nails, don't know why but they tend to stick up. If I don't have nailscissors on my I'll pick one off when I notice it, because they catch on my clothes! I try to sorta turn away or use my other hand to cover up like I would when coughing, but I don't usually wait until I get home, if they do catch on clothes or when I'm reaching in my purse or whatever, they can really hurt.

Answer 4

People who pick their nose and flick off what they dig out.
Those who scratch their nether parts or their bottom through their clothes.
Those who sneeze or cough all over you.
Those who spit in the street.
Those who get rid of their chewing gum anywhere except in a bin.
Come to think of it, those who talk to you whilst chewing gum.
Those who use their mobile phones in shops, trains, or very public places, and have no consideration for other people present.
Those who play loud music on portable radios outside, or in their cars with the windows wide open.
Those who light up a barbecue and flood your garden with burnt meat smell on a pleasant day, when all the other neighbours are quietly sitting in theirs. Usually they are the same people who will throw frequent parties where everyone is still drinking out, laughing and shouting at three in the morning .
The list goes on....
We shall be labelled "The Grumpy Yahoos" if we continue in this vein.

Answer 5

Well this is an interesting question and no mistake. Because I was sitting in on a meeting at work the other day and this lovely looking girl was sitting next to me pulling strands of her very long hair out and dropping them on the floor next to me ewwwwwwwwwww it was horrible Then she was picking all sorts of bits off her face. eeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. I always try to stay still and not pick bits off my self and eat them unless on my own. which I think is a good rule of thumb in the Royal circles in which I trip the light fantastic.

Answer 6

in case you have 3 canines did you verify the different 2 to be certain they have not got any on them? even one or 2 fleas can ultimately upload as much as hundreds and if your different canines have them then they could merely be passing them directly to her. or.....it could be what my vet an prolonged time in the past suggested as flea anemia that's a concern one in all my labs had the place even however we gave him flea baths in many situations and keept our domicile flea evidence he stikeptratched like he had fleas .the vet suggested it could happen greater in the warm summer season time because of the fact his dermis is sweating and any form of itch could reason the canines to experience like he has fleas , for that reason making him scratch and chew the hair off his dermis (in the comparable section you're speaking of ) . anyhow my dad had to bypass away them at the back of for katrina and he have been given picked up by using this rescue groupe from colorado (while we've been given him back he became totaly cured of this problem so i asked the health facility there what they dealt with him with and that they suggested they used the therapy for mange on him . it easily restored his hair and he appeared way fit :) sorry for the long tale desire this helps :) good success :)

Answer 10

Nail Biting is gross. Hair Flicking not so much. If your hair is in your face, it's in your face and you need to move it. If their hair is hitting you, or flicking you....then you are standing WAY too close and you need to give yourself, as well as the other person more personal space.
