Can't upvote that enough!

THAAAAANKKKKK YOUUUUU!!!!

Its not hard to keep it in a pocket until you find a bin

And don’t have public zoom meetings! Urgh.

Same condition or better

I went to pick up a friend on a night out. Called him when we arrived, said he'd be down in a moment. 15 mins later still nothing. Called him again and he said he was going to come down after watching Buffy. Told him he'd have to get the train and drove off.

I also wave to the person who waved. Double politeness lol.

Yeah and stop leaving them in carpark spaces! 😡

I don't do art for a living but I do take commissions sometimes and this bothers me so heckin much...

Uh huh it's so annoying especially if you are listening to music yourself and you can hear their crappy radio over your peaceful tunes

Or leaving little drops on the seat. Even if it's by accident, no one else wants to wipe it off so they can sit.

And don't talk with food in your mouth.

I have some really close friends that we're comfortable enough to just rock up to each others houses, but don't do that unless it's someone you know won't have a problem with it.

I always talk in a polite and friendly manner when making complaints. I have found they are more likely to go above and beyond to help. And always thank them afterwards and compliment their ability to help as it makes their day.

You shouldn’t be touching other people anywhere, not their hair, not there butt not their stomach, nothing… not unless you ask first

I really care about personal space. Its one of the most important things

I can't believe we've fallen so far that this even happens. It saddens me.

This goes for doors, elevators and escalators and everything else where people should be allowed to get off of a moving thing before you get on.

Unless in a left-side driving country. In those countries, it tends to be the opposite.

People, pls don't lend money you can't give. Meaning that you shouldn't go out of your way to lend what you can't afford to give. That way, if the person doesn't return it, you won't be broke. Thank you

Poop Crumbs lol! Just honked and spat my tea out. Getting funny looks now. Agreed, it is mank

All you have to do is say you look good you don’t have to specify what part looks good or why

Or at least be aware that some people regard your loud conversation as as free entertainment.

Some people have medical conditions where they either can not wear deodorant or the deodorant won’t help. I would rather smell a human than a sickening perfume all day

I remember seeing a lady with a walker give up a handicapped spot for a man in an electric wheelchair. If she can do it, everyone else can do it.

Similarly, never ask when they plan to have a child, or why they don't have children already. It's not your business and you don't know what trauma you may unveil. Maybe they had a miscarriage, maybe they did have a child who died at birth, or maybe they have been struggling to get pregnant.

At minimum, fill it to where it was when you borrowed it.

Well then the cats got some learning to do

If you're sharing the bill and you clearly spent more than everyone else.. . Make sure you insist on paying the difference.

I'm all for getting what you want. I buy my sister and her husband's lunch alone because they are kind enough to join me on errands. My sister is fine, she gets what she actually wants, but her husband will find the most expensive steak on the menu anywhere we go knowing I'm paying. $20 between my sister and me and another $20 just for him. It's rude to go out of your way to find the most expensive thing on the menu just because you aren't paying. That's called taking advantage of people.

To me it entirely depend on who is paying the bill and why. But if you're invited in a restaurant you should be able to pick whatever you want.

I did this all the time with a friend that took me out to lunch. Then one day, after her and her sis-in-law ordered prime rib, she said "Why do you always order the cheapest thing on the menu?" I said "Because someone else is paying the bill." She turned to the waiter and said "She'll have the prime rib too." Add to this post to know your benefactor. Some people that are paying the bill have no issue with you ordering pricey food as long as you don't go crazy over it.

Or order something "to go" and expecting the host to pay for it. My brother took the family out to celebrate my birthday and my younger sister order a complete meal to go for her husband who had to work - without saying a word or bothering to ASK my brother if he minded. He would have been glad to do it, but for her to just assume was entitled and beyond rude.

I once offered to buy one of my friends a drink when she joined myself and a few friends for a few drinks, I said 'a drink' not 'many drinks'. She started ordering drinks for herself and her friends who arrived later and putting them on my tab without my permission! I never open a tab when out with other people now.

And don’t go out to dinner with no means of paying your share even if it’s likely the other people will offer.

And if you go to a party or work event and everybody have to bring a meal, don't be the douche who comes with F... grated carrots while others are bringing chicken, roasts, fancy salads and alcohol. A coworker do this on every occasion! Carrot man!

Figure things out BEFORE you order. If you want something expensive, fine. Just offer to at the difference

Yes. My doctor said I can only eat lobster and Beef Tenderloin, and I'm only allowed to drink Chateau LaFitte 1959.

In our family if someone else is paying we tend to order the cheapest items

My husband automatically tells the waitress the small portion without my permission.

Filet mignon please

Honest question here...if I was planning on getting a dessert after the meal but someone else wants to pay for the meal, should I pay for my dessert anyway?

Obviously.

Actually not, in a lot of stores you have a designated area near the cabins where you should leave them. Especially during the pandeminc it is not so smart to put your clothes back with the others after you have tried them on, they could carry nasty things.

Car salesmen can be very pushy though! My mum ended up making an appointment because the person talking to her wouldn't take no for an answer but she had no intention of buying the car and didn't attend. I understand what you're saying but she didn't want to have to ring and engage with him again, having been intimidated into making the initial appointment.

I believe it's called a conversation. People have been having them for a very VERY long time. People need to stop making everything about them.

I don't know about other cultures but in the UK this is pointless advice. There is NO Way anyone would respond to this by saying "actually no I'm in a s**t mood" we'd just grin and bear it either way.

With the ridiculous cleaning fees that Airbnb's often charge, I'm not certain why I should be doing the cleaning for them.

Wait…what??? Is this a thing?

My wife and I do this when it gets dark so that we can prepare our eyes.

What if I'm in England?

You need to speak up if you’re tired. Not put it on others, you may think it’s obvious to other people and they may not be seeing what you think they’re seeing

Someone on a budget wrote this. If you're offered the last beer, you get the last beer.

And dont look at the others while peeing
