What things do you wish were socially acceptable?

[PrawnSalads]

I wish that you could ask random people to bring their dogs(And other animals) round for a playdate.(With me) I see so many new dogs and I wish people would bring them to my door so I could meet them.

Likewise with newborn babies.

I also wish that it was ok to ask everyone's name or to wear name badges. I'm fascinated by first names and I always want to ask baby and children's names and why the parents chose them.

What do you wish was socially acceptable?

Being able to give your unsolicited opinions and advice on people's dilemmas/ dramas etc if you over hear a face to face or mobile phone conversation that interests you. And getting thanked profusely for it rather than being told to mind your own business/told to fuck off/ stabbed etc 😁

I do this anyway...no shame me 🤷‍♀️

Oh gosh I did this the other day at a party, went up to a group of people I didn't know and accident joined in a really uncommon conversation where someone was having relationships issues with their ex, I couldn't back off as that would have been just as awkward. The whole situation was excruciating 😖🥴

No just full of germs and putting your hand over your mouth then touching things around the place with germy spit and phlegm on your hands doesn’t help either. Farts are much more sanitary when covered by pants.

Or galloping aka Miranda

I wish I could pull lads trousers up, like you do with a toddler, when they wear the waistband half down their bum.

THIS.

Best response on this thread and so true 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Sorry but breathing in the air from a strangers arse is beyond grim 🤮

Love this!

🤣

To wear whatever the hell you like, when you like.

On sewing bee last night one of them said that they worried about looking like they were wearing kids clothes.

Fuck it.. life is too short for boring clothes/shoes. Do it anyway.

I'd like to take/snatch mobile phones from people who are walking along the street so totally engrossed in them, especially when they are pushing their DC's in buggies etc

Being able to admit you really hate hot, sunny weather. And, that the idea of a BBQ in someone's sun trap of a garden fills you with dread.

Starting a meeting at work with the acknowledgment from every attendee that nothing at all you are going to discuss in the meeting matters at all. Not in any way. To anyone. It’s just corporate nonsense. And you’re all just trying to get the job done you’re paid to do.

AMEN!

Sorry but breathing in the air from a strangers arse is beyond grim
Being acquainted with the owner of the arse doesn't really elevate the experience

Another one. Being able to wear a small badge which informs shop assistants, check out assistants etc that you don't want them to chat to you.

me too! and drinking on an empty stomach. so bad for you but SO FUN.

@HereComesMaleficent...my sister never seems to worry about what is socially acceptable, most of these phrases are a normal part of her vocabulary, only the other day we were listening to a mutual friend relating a story of her errant son's recent bad behaviour and his excuses for it, "Well he's talking bollocks then isn't he" was the response, I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

I like your sister already. 😂

Being very pale skinned on a beach type holiday. I love the sunshine and quite enjoy the odd few hours relaxing by the pool/sea. I know that every holiday I will encounter at least one person who repeatedly makes comments about how pale I am and/or tries to give me tanning advice (sometimes rubbing oils etc in to my skin without asking). [I know that the prejudice faced by people of colour is worse, and wfiw it is always white people who do this]

Telling people that you have no interest in their hobby and don't want to try it or hear about it.

I've done quite a few of these. I don't care what others think.

Said basically what I've thought in work places.

Galloping down the street with my adult son, aka miranda, just for fun.

Wound the window alongside joggers and cyclist's and shouted "try harder"

Wear what I want when I want.

Tell other people to put their phone down and look where their bloody going.

@GreatBigBoots I would tell them they wouldn’t tell a black or Asian person to use skin lighteners, so why is it acceptable to tell people with blue-white or freckled skin to get some sun or wear fake tan?

BTW it absolutely is a form of racism, as very fair skin like this is characteristic of the Irish, Welsh and Scots who have historically been colonised by the English.

This made me laugh. Woman puts her thumb in her own mouth and quite enjoys it. Imagine!

Shouting try harder at people exercising is an actual shithouse thing to do.

You have passed from being assertive into being grade A obnoxious.

It makes them laugh, but you think what you like.
