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.

People Are Sharing "Unwritten Rules" Of Life That Everyone Should Be Aware Of (40 Answers) When you have a complaint with a retail store or business, please remember that the person you are speaking too (or yelling at sadly) is just the one that happened to pick up the phone or is standing at the till. they likely have nothing to do with what went wrong and have little sway in what can be done to help. They dont need to be yelled and screamed at for something they did not do or is under the control of a corporate office/higher up.

Same on elevators in hotels. They are shocked people are getting out on the lobby level and try to crowd in with their luggage before you can get out. Sometimes we just take the stairs down if we aren't on too high a floor. Good exercise and you know where to go in case of fire. I also have a fear of elevators.

No. When the train/metro/subway/LRT pulls up, stand to the side of the doors, up against the car. This way, people can exit easily, without anyone in their way, and you can slide in as soon as they're gone.

Watch this! https://youtu.be/WHcYRKyuoZs This is rush hour in Singapore. The train operators put markings on the floor of platforms, so people waiting to go on board will not crowd the train doors when they arrive. People will let the the passengers in the train alight first before they board the train.

I use a wheelchair. One of the few perks of needing to use one is the way people who would normally crowd you as you try to exit the lift scramble to get out of the way when the doors open and they are confronted with my chair. I'd like to think that it jars them into remembering their manners, but it's probably something more depressing like being afraid they'll catch my lurgy if the chair touches them.

Also, don't walk into the grocery store and just stop. If you need to get your list or whatever, MOVE TO THE SIDE. I rammed a lady last week (by accident!) and she started getting huffy about it. I'm like, "You're the idiot that just dead stopped in the middle of the doorway". She turned beet red and quickly moved, I'm guessing because I had no problem mentioning her lack of intelligence in front of several other shoppers.

One time my best friend and I were waiting for the train, and of course people had to get out first. Everyone would stand back/aside but two guys were just in the middle of the path in front of the door. So we were like "hey that's not a good spot to be standing, people still gotta get out" and they got so freaking mad at us for correcting them

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.
