Things that are socially acceptable but you wish they were not

[IconicKitty]

I feel like a bit of a man. For me:

Men pissing by the side of the road. I have see this twice in the past few days, yet there were public loos close by. If a woman did this people would question her sanity, or at the very least think she was undignified yet for men it's considered normal.

Men going shirtless in public. Do what you like in your own garden, but why walk down the high street etc without a shirt. It's never that hot in England - in fact some much hotter climates actually have dignity laws that prohibit both men and women from even showing their arms or legs. Plus you know, sun burn.

Smoking. I hate walking behind someone who is smoking, it blows back in the face of the person behind and gives me a headache. It's unhealthy, expensive and should just be banged in public full stop imo.

This. That's so inefficient! I ahd a colleague who would email, then phone about it!!

Parking on pavements

Dogs.

What’s wrong w a first name 🙃

Men wearing shoes with trousers that are too short and no socks.

Men wearing hats inside and at the dining table.

Men wearing hats that are too small for them on the back of their head.

Colleagues are fine. Clients or third parties that ring unexpectedly - noooooo!

Yep, agree wholeheartedly with this. Too many people enable and support this kind of behaviour as they ignore and overlook it, never holding these deadbeats to account

I don’t think I’ve heard this since around 2009. Didn’t realise people still did it.

You are blessed with good fortune

Being early (as in significantly early). People moan about lateness, but being early is somehow seen as virtuous, even if it’s actually really inconveniencing the person. Don’t turn up at my house early and, if I’ve arranged to meet you somewhere at 8, don’t message at 7.45 saying “I’m here…” What do you want me to do about it? I’ll be there when I said!

This one really made me chuckle, I dread the day I get called ma'am or madam 😆

In the olden days, calling someone by their first name indicated a degree of familiarity. You automatically referred to people you didn’t know by their surname, and children would always call adults by their surname. So for example, I referred to my Brownie and Guide leaders as Mrs X, Y and Z, and not Sarah, Mary and Jane.

Smoking weed. It stinks and I hate the smell of it. I hate walking into a block of flats and smelling it in the communal areas. There is someone near our local primary school who smokes weed at drop off times some mornings and it smells rank.

Taking photos- I don't want to be in people's bloody photos!

100% @Kranke or providing any opinion/ advice (unrequested) on how you raise baby generally

Oh and dogs! Why is it OK for them to run up to you, jump all over you and slobber everywhere? Even in coffee shops! It should be taboo to own a dog 😁

Yes, I don't like slobbery dogs and don't want one leaking slobber all over my clothes or shoes. Yuk.

Online bingo/slots type gambling. Why is it sold in all those telly adverts as some sort of aspirational social event? None of that glossy advertising or that 'play responsibly' or 'know your limits' stuff stops it from becoming addictive and ruining people's lives.

spitting is the worst, and jumpy up dogs.

plant based milks coming the norm. I’m allergic to nuts and I’ve had friends forget and automatically add nut milks, and have also had barrista’s sub in plant milk without asking. Appreciate vegans need options but also people have allergies..

“Awwh, but he’s just being fwendly!”

Every time I hear that from a dog lover I feel like jumping into their lap and licking their face; see how they like me being so friendly.

Stupid pouty lips selfies where people try and look all sultry.
Also,self obsessed people.

Food freaks. ‘Ay’m awf’y intolerant of Black Forest Gateau….

[30 min later] ’….sweet corn triggers may anxiety-eeee’

I’m intolerant of bores.

I have lost my eyebrows through a health condition.
So sorry I offend you!!

Dickwads who sit in coffee shops alone taking up tables of 4!!!
