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.

BUT don't jump to conclusions. People may need a seat without a visible sign indicating this.

Having needed to re-learn to walk about a decade ago now, yes, please. Sometimes, if we are "young" but are on a cane? There's a reason. Budge over. Nothing like not having good balance, being on a cane, and having to stand on public transit to boot! Great way to re-injure. (As I learned. Ow!)

elderly too, getting up before they start looking for a seat makes it less awkward for them.

Not all disabilities are visible. Withhold your judgement unless you're sure.

I always felt so ashamed (and frustrated that they wouldn’t know why) that I couldn’t give up my seat to pregnant ladies or old or disabled folks but eventhough invisible as long as I wasn’t walking (when my limp was a dead giveaway something was amiss), the fact was that I was in need myself. I never used a second seat without something to put between my leg/shoe and seat and every stop I took my feet and bag or whatever I had used off that seat across or besides mine because who would be arrogant enough to take more than one. I don’t get how some people just have no shame or decency or respect and such whatsoever

Unfortunately, due to the way society chooses to operate today (read, politically correct), a person has a damned near even chance of interacting with a pregnant lady who will unleash the tenth level of hell on you for YOUR AUDACITY IN ASSUMING THAT SHE NEEDS ANY FORM OF CHARITY FROM YOU SIMPLY BECAUSE SHE'S A WOMAN AND YOU THINK YOU'RE ABOVE HER SIMPLY BECAUSE YOU'RE A MAN!. Yep. Society has won the war. I and so many others have simply given up because it's too damned difficult to know, in any given situation, which way to step so as to avoid the land mine. It's simply become the best and easiest option simply to stand where you are.

I once put a bouquet of flowers on the seat next to me, it was quite big and I had other two bags. I didn't realise the flowers were wet and it went on the seat a little. I also wasn't expecting the bus to be so crowded, I rarely use that bus, and at totally different times. I felt like s**t because this boy who was going home from school stood up because of my mistake. He wasn't upset, but I still felt bad!

I tell strangers their bags didn't pay for a seat, I did.

At an ante natal appointment I sat next to a fit, healthy young man who had his booted feet on the magazine table whilst heavily pregnant women were leaning against walls. His ‘partner’ didn’t say anything. How can people be so unaware and selfish?

This is just common decency.

I blame the parents for not setting a good example.

Don't take up two seats so you can spread em like you HAVE to.

That is a thumb!

If in Australia or any country that has free travel for school students teach your children the rules, the rules are if there is an adult standing you must give up your seat for them, you cannot take a seat of a person that may need it to sit down...of course if you are a too young child or have a reason you cannot that is fine, but able bodied teens getting free bus passes it is a rule and it should be adhered to.

Never put you feet up on a bus/train.

Sometimes, I hesitate to ask people to sit, because they might think it's rude (e. G. elderly people who don't think they are quite so old). Just ask when you want to sit. Most people will not actively say no.

F**k someone with a car

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.

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.
