Nope, that door thing is everywhere for some reason now. I taught my kids so well, that one night we went to Claimjumper for dinner and my son, who was about 14 at the time, held the door for the couple behind us. After they walked thru, another couple, then a family of about 6 walked thru and no one took the door from him so he just stood there holding it. I finally told him that he was not a paid doorman and to feel free to let it go after the first people went thru. The next couple coming in heard me and laughed and that guy took the door.I swear he wasn't going to though til I said something to my son. Good manners work both ways...
100% agree - manners go both ways! Most of the time, the commentsmy kidsget are from women who think it's cute that young boys are actually kind enough to hold the door.About 95% of the time, when the party behind us included a grown man, he stepped up and followed their lead. Not sure if they did so out of embarrassment or if they would have done it anyway.

1.) when people don't wash their hands!!! That has got to be the most disgusting thing in the world. I don't care if "nothing got on you." Fecal matter can be all over!! UGH... I had an instructor pull up next to me in a urinal, got out before me, and he never washed his hands. So far I have NEVER looked at him in a normal way.





2.) When people open their mouths at the "upstroke" of a chew. It makes that mix of a pop and smake. GOO GOD I HATE THIS THREAD... IT'S MAKING ME ANNOYED JUST THINKING ABOUT ALL MY PET PEEVES!!!! LOL I ALMOST told some guy to shut up and close his mouth when he chewed. Lucky for him he finished. Funny thing is that he sat on the bus next to me the next morning... go figure.


3.) The work "LIKE." If you're too dumb to not use it for every other word, then you might have other issues that need to be taken care of...


4.) Not using your bliker in a car. If your're so lazy that you won't even use your blinker... then you need to be shot or get a major a$$ kicking. You're the kind of peolple that cause accidents and make youself look even lazier than you probably already are.


5.) Not hold the door for someone right behind you. Maybe this is just in Minneapolis, but I've gotten to the point that when someone lets the door go without holding open for me (assuming I'm RIGHT behind them... I push against the door REALLY hard and make them look back at me... in which case I'll be looking right at them. I go by the two arm rule: If the person behind me is two arms lengths behind me, I hold the door open, if it's a little more than to, I'll hold it and then push against it to keep it open a little longer.


6.) Not saying "THANK YOU" after I just held the door open for you. YOU F**KING INGRATE!!! I could have let it slam right back into your face but I decided that there isn't enough chivalry in this world, so I took the little time that most others would never bother with because they're so narcisistsic, and held the door open for you. The least you could do is show your appreciation for something that is going to he!! in this world and say, "thank you." Now I just say, "you're welcome" even if they don't say anything. And just as they're about to say something I say "yep" and inturrupt them


I have more but those are the main ones. Thank you very much Positive for making me angry all over again lol Only kidding... sort of.


Have a good day everyone!
I second the one about people not saying thank you when I've held the door. If it's a double, I don't hold the next one--I sneak through as small an opening as I can. They probably don't notice, but it makes me feel better.


People who let their kids scream in public--probably because they let their kids scream at home, and it doesn't bother them. I just want to go up to the parents and scream in their face--but I don't.


People who drive up fast behind me and tailgate when I'm following a line of cars, when it's obvious that I can't change lanes. And, people who drive below the speed limit in the left lane, and don't pull over when they have the chance. And, people who don't give others room to merge onto the freeway. I think may have road rage issues.

Thanks for teaching them good manners--they may have held the door open for me! I love it when pre-schoolers try to hold the door open for people. I figure they'll grow up to be pretty nice adults :-)

1. People who think it's okay to ask how much I weigh.


2. People who use strollers as battering rams to force their way past or through you.


3. People who are either oblivious to, or unconcerned with anyone else but themselves.

Lynnabell,


I agree. It's irritating to see people who treat dogs as they would treat their favorite doll in childhood. It's their dog, and their preogative to do it, but dogs are dogs, and dolls are dolls.

Hee hee. I own a store that sells those strollers for dogs. Hee hee. They're pink. I'm not a fan of it either - I have great big boxer dogs - but do you know how much money these people spend on their dogs? Ridiculous. But I'll take their money.

Widebodies that waddle side-by-side real slow through store aisles or down sidewalks expecting you to move out of the way of their fat a$$es.


Also, womenwith double wide strollers doing the same thing. (I've never seen guys doing this)


People who park in handicap spaces whose only handicap appears to be obesity. Geez...get some exercise.


Retards who can't make up their mind buying lottery tickets at 7-11 and take forever, when all I want is a coffee.


Oldpeople who do their grocery shopping on weekends when it's the only time working folks have the time, then take forever in the checkout line 'cause they don't help bag, or are bitching about an item that's supposed to be 2 cents cheaper.


People who take their pets shopping at Petsmart or Petco because they can. It's friggin' retarded.

Especially when they use one at the mall. They need the close space but then are able to walk around the mall all day! My daughter is in a wheelchair and it is so frustrating to not be able to find a space because they are taken by this type of "handicap". We don't need the close up space but we do need the WIDE space so her chair can be put next to the car

I have to second the spitting thing - I think it's disgusting when men just hack and spit some huge gunkwad right where you are walking! I really don't get it - do men's mouths create more byproduct than womens? We seem to function just fine without spitting where we walk!


Also, your is not the same thing as YOU'RE! Come on!

1. People who say NOO - Q - LER instead of "nuclear"





2. When the passenger in your car read each street sign they see out loud...with a bad Latin accent: "Paso Robles, 3 miles!..."





3. When you ask someone a question and they say: "I wanna say......" Why the stalling, was it a loaded question?
