45 Of The Pettiest Beliefs People In This Online Group Would Stand By, No Matter What

Some years ago a woman on the train was discussing her vaginal yeast infection with someone on the phone. Why would you think that's a good idea?

I agree. Don't understand the big deal about this over over over produced woman. She's made a few danceable numbers, but that's the extent of it in my book.

Upvoted for the 'fight me' comment. No fight. Just bow of respect

Does anyone think otherwise?

Not only elevators. Out prevails going in. Out of a toilet. Out of a train. Out of a room. People who try to push in - don't they realize there will be more room if they wait a few seconds? And by that means - Wait a few seconds a few steps away from the door, not right in front of it....

This is why I stand firmly in the center of the door so me and fellow passengers can get off without people barreling in first. It's just rude, especially if you have someone with a stroller or walking aides trying to get off; they already have enough to deal with and rudeness shouldn't be thrown at them

This is just common sense. There'll be more room for new people once the ones leaving leave. And, how are they supposed to get out if you're now blocking the exit?

I agree. But sometimes it can be a lot of work if they do not want to get off.

It's not courtesy, it's sense. More room for those entering.

I was taught this and I taught my children this. But, one day, my mom in her wheelchair was riding an elevator with my dad at a mall and, every time it stopped, people would come in and not let them out. They kept trying to get out, but nobody would make way and they didn't want to run over any toes, so they weren't pushy about it. Mom ended up having a panic attack because nobody would let her off the elevator after many attempts and my dad finally just screamed at people to let them out. I was surprised that so many people don't follow this rule anymore.

It's also common sense. If I let the exiting people out, now there is room for me to get on. And once I'm on, I won't have them shoving me out of the way in order to get off.

You literally can't get into a full lift, but people try tho..

Coming off, I just put my elbows up, then walk forward. I'm a large fat guy and it works very well to plow the ignorant out of the doorway. And I've walked into some 'important' people in my day, including (once) the Mayor of Toronto.

The same holds true for buses, trains, etc. Let people off before you get on. It makes life so much simpler and easier.

this, especially in Hong Kong it's not only elevator doors, it's basically every door ever.

Or the train, or the bus.

its just good manners and being practical

it makes sense all of you can't fit in there and then it would take much longer for people to get out. So it's not courtesy but logical

It's not courtesy, it's practical

same for trains, buses etc. so often i'm trying to get off a train and people are crammed at the door trying to get on, like, you realise that until i get off, there's no where for you to go?!

THIS!

YESSSSS

I've never seen anyone NOT do this.

Common courtesy or common sense?

Not only courtesy but sensible too. In any congested situation let people out before cramming more in. Applies in lifts, parking stations, school rooms, busses, army tanks, boats. Even city centres should have traffic light set to make it easier to leave than to enter

I always stand well to the side of the elevator door while I'm waiting for it to arrive

And the bus!

Of course!

This is why I hesitate before getting off an elevator. I've ran into someone and even a trolly at one point because of this.

This true of almost any situation when people are exchanging limited spaces, airplanes, train, buses, street cars. elevators. Unfortunately there are those who push on in.

It’s common sense.

common courtesy? It should be a law.

And if you get out of an elevator don't stop and block people getting on or allow the doors to close before they can get on.

It's a "lift", not an "elevator". Just saying.... ;-)

YES! Also the bus and train, if the doors are narrow.

Yes, don't be a bum. Don't be lazy. Don't say it's someone else's job. Just do the considerate thing and put the damn cart back.

Corrected it "I will die on this hill over and over until my assembled corpse's make it into a slightly bigger hill."

This is absolutely NOT PETTY! Birds have been found to be picking up cigarette butts & trying to feed them to their young, or using them as nesting material.

How about we stop spitting on cakes in general?

Could've.

Not if you have cats.... 🐈

This is the one that bugs me the most.

THIS. As I’ve gotten older and watched the previous generation start to shuffle off this mortal coil, have beaten the big C in my late 20s and began to lose a few friends too early, I resolved that my time is the most valuable thing in my life. I semi-jokingly tell people that disrespect my or others’ time that I value it at a minimum of $60/hr. Stealing other peoples time is the worst. Not appreciating them when they gift you their time is entitled & inconsiderate.

I’ll never forget this… once I was trying to pass a man and woman with their cart at the end of a very long aisle. They were in the very middle. I couldn’t go around on either side of them. I said, “Excuse me.” No one budged. I thought perhaps they didn’t hear me. I said it again a little louder. The man looked at me and went to move the cart, but the woman grabbed it and said to him, “When I’m done.” That’s when I became “done.” I walked over to their cart, shoving it aside and pointing to the man with her, I said, “He may have to wait until you’re ‘done,’ but I don’t! I’m ‘done’ being polite. Move it!” She stared at me dumbfounded, while he told her, “You deserved that.” She looked at him and said, “Shut up.” And I continued shopping.

or smacking your mouth when eating ..makes me want to physically throttle someone .....

Same should apply if you're off due to illness too...

Just like the elevator!

I will refuse to move and will be the one who walks right into the middle of the flock .

Got a terrible migraine tonight, took a lot of medication so the headache was gone in the morning. I still felt like throwing up, but I did not want to stay home. In the hallway at work a woman walked in front of me who absolutely REEKED of sone terribly sweet perfume. That did not help with my already upset stomach...

In Sweden there is a fine if you hug the left lane. Only problem iis that there is no one to enforce trafic laws.

I had my debit card declined at a gas station on a pay day, when my check was auto-deposited. Bank of America was right next door, so I popped inside. The teller very loudly berated me, saying my account had a hold put on it because I’d been “depositing” checks I’d written… immediately taking cash out of my account, knowing the checks were no good. The bank was giving me the cash, assuming the checks would clear. And I’d amassed more than $4000 this way. And the bank was going to press charges. By then, every customer in the lobby was staring at me, like I was scum of the Earth. Thoroughly embarrassed, I told the clerk to check again. Check MY account again. To look for those supposed deposit/withdrawals. Her face said it all. And in a low voice, that no one else could hear, she said, “I’m sorry. There’s obviously a mistake.” Loudly, I repeated, “YOU SAY YOU’RE MISTAKEN? IT’S NOT ME DOING THESE THINGS?” I withdrew all my money. Closed my account. And will not do business with them.
