don't you hate it when people point at their wrist when asking for the time, as if i don't know where i keep my watch. i don't go around pointing at my crotch when i am asking for the bathroom.

what i mean is, don't you hate it when you're using a public stall, and someone comes in. and out of all the available stalls he could use, he chooses the one right next to you.

and not to get off subject, but what about people that take escalators without walking and blocking passage for everyone behind them. as if it's some amusement park ride.

Okay first of all, that question is taken from a comedian, but I can't remember who. People point at their wrist because it's just habit, not because they think you don't know where you keep your watch.It's just body language.
Secondly, bathroom stalls don't bother me, but I guess as I guy there is that unspoken rule about not peeing right next to the guy if there is space.
As for escalators, people who take them have a hard time walking up stairs; hence taking something automatic. The polit thing to do is stand to the right so people who want to walk can walk by you. Why would you take the escalator if you are going to walk up them anyways?

I point at my watch because it's often to loud.
If I am in a public restroom and HE goings in a stall right next to me there would be another issue. Like why is there a guy in the lady's room.
Most people do just stand on the escalators. I am starting to think you are easily annoyed. But not crazy.

Wow! Half the time I dont think about stuff like that! For the first two (time and b/r) I think they are both silly, but the watch one is a habit that almost everyone uses (not to make "excuses") And the excalator one, hehe, I'm one of those people. For some people, like me, they aren't coordinated enough to walk and ride at the same time.

i dont get why people point at their wrist either, I think you are a little paranoid about the bathroom thing. Escalators(spelling?) are for people that cant use the stairs and for people with elevator problems. So who cares if they stand in your way! I think you are a little bit crazy in the head there sweetie.

hahahaha. From now on I am going to point at my crotch when asking where the restrooms are. The visual is making me crack up.

pointing at the wrist, it's just non verbal communication, it's kinda of a universal what time is it, relax.
