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.

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.

If your advice or opinion wasn’t asked for, don’t give it. Doesn't that mean this whole gallery should be deleted?

If you make your opinion known in a general term. It’s going to be much better received if you don’t use the word should or shouldn’t. I often use the term “you might want to consider” or “maybe you want to consider” It keeps people from getting defensive immediately

I don't really agree with this. You can give people the benefit of your experience, but they don't have to take your advice. It's about HOW you talk to people. You can explain what works for you, but accept that their solutions are valid as well.

I give my opinion to people but not telling them to stop what they doing. I just tell them options and remind them that this is just my opinion you don't need to do it. Its just some people didnt realize they ae doing it worng or shame to ask. That's why i just gibe opions

dont dump your stuff on people if you don't want advice.

I read this in the comment section of another post (I wish I could remember who said it), it said, ask the person, "do you need comfort or solutions?" My husband and I use this now and it saves a lot of time and bad feelings. Sometimes people just need to vent and some sympathy.

I understand what people are saying about a dialog, but someone people, such as myself, have a tendency to shove their oar in unnecessarily. I think I'm being helpful by offering what I think is a better solution but it frequently annoys people. An acronym I like is WAIT = "Why Am I Talking?"

Doesn't this completely negate Twitter? (I hope so)

If you don't want people to respond then don't tell them your problems. Other people are not your psychological dumping ground. The average person wants to help their friends and loved ones. If you just need an ear, then specify that. Otherwise, if you aren't looking for a solution then you are just pissing in the wind.

Yes, learn to listen and respond.

True

Don't help people. Gotcha.

I don't understand what's wrong with this one. I do this all the time. When my friend has nothing to talk about I talk about my opinion. I see nothing wrong with this. Unless you interrupt the other person to make everything about you, nothing's wrong with sharing your opinion

My advice? I haven't got any. No one ever gave me advice that really helped me and I doubt I can help you. I can tell you the truth and that's not necessarily advice.

Unless you are on Twitter or Facebook, or any other social media.

You would think that is common sense. People don't have common sense anymore

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
