What things do you find rude that others don’t seem to?

[TheRaccoon]

I’ll go first:

• People who season food before they’ve tried it
• People who take ages to text back (or don’t at all)
• People who are late for no reason

When you are choosing something in a supermarket, and someone comes up very close and snatches something in front of you off the shelf

Nope. Taking ages staring at packets in the supermarket is rude! If you need to study the back of the packet like it's the bloody Dead Sea Scrolls take a step back and do it somewhere quiet. I find it so rude when people block off a busy section staring at the butter for a revelation. It's the same bloody butter every week pick up your brand and move on.

Yep. I'm pretty sure anyone with a sight defect would find this attitude very rude. Seems that some people want to hurtle through life without bothering to acknowledge there are other people out there who might have their own needs.

@CutToChase - are you refering to social get togethers? They don't sound much fun - why do you bother?

Writing ‘RIP’ on a Facebook post or a sympathy card when someone has died......I mean, somebody has DIED, yet typing those 8 extra characters to say “Rest in Peace” is just too much of a pain in the arse really, so we’ll just short cut with an acronym, that’ll do...
Grrrr

It’s not as though the acronym was invented since social media started though- it’s written on people’s tombstones, so I don’t think it can be said to be rude.

Mind you, you are probably the only person to have replied correctly to the OP, so what do I know?

@june2007

People who don,t answer the phone unless expecting a call or don,t answer the doorbell unless expecting someone.

Does this still apply if the person has already called you 6 times today to recount every boring shitty minute of their day yet failed to ask about yours? Just because I have a mobile phone does not mean that I am on call 24/7 to listen to drivel and usually the same drivel that I have heard many many times. My phone gets switched off regularly and I've been moaned at for not answering, simple, call somebody else, not me.

@Lalliella

People who don’t say please. My boss is like this. Just barks out orders in an email. He can fuck off, the utter knob. No-one may be reading this post and no-one may care, but it just feels so liberating to type it. I can’t stand him, the twat!!

I'm reading it and I am laughing, I am glad you got it off of your chest :)

People who don,t answer the phone unless expecting a call or don,t answer the doorbell unless expecting someone This is not rude at all

Sniffing, letting your children stand up in a supermarket trolley, feet on train seats, littering, dummies in children who can walk/talk, babygros that make 'cute' references to mummy/daddy, wet spoon in the sugar, pots left in the sink, not changing tea towels often enough, wind chimes, rings that have little chains on them, men sitting with their legs spread, heavy perfume, repeated lateness, fake lips, grown women twiddling with their hair/being girly whilst at work, people who havent trained their dogs not to jump up, house signs made out of number plates....

Not coming straight to the table when called for a meal, so other people's food gets cold. Getting up and clearing dishes while someone is still eating.

As soon as I saw the thread title I thought ‘parents who let their kids chase pigeons’

Usually causing them to flap in a panic at others’ heads.

This is going off-topic, but I’ve only ever seen one headstone with RIP on it. And it was rather mysterious. The entire inscription was:

RIP
STW & JNH

*initials changed, partly because I can’t remember the original ones.

I love Netflix but hate when it recommends things "because you watched ......" .And stop using my first name, there's no need.

Flaking out on arrangements at the last minute.

I'm autistic and find it difficult being in a big group as I can't process the conversation as quick as others so by the time I've thought of something to say the conversation has moved on. I also find it hard to know when to cut in on a conversation and accidently end up talking over someone. It is a minefield! Just me and 1 or 2 close friends I enjoy much more. So I apologise to all the extroverts that seemingly need the conversation to keep going at all costs and find silence awkward but that is your issue not mine and if it is a problem you need to deal with it rather than blaming me for not keeping a group conversation going.

Something I find rude is when someone says 'we' when they mean you (i.e me!) or just something like 'are these toys going to be tidyed up?' - I don't know are they? If you want them tidyed up do it yourself or ask politely for someone else to do it!

It’s a really stupid thing to let them do. Some people have no sensitivity.

ALL of the above. ^ What an admirable list!

Another one for starting a meal without waiting for everyone to have theirs.
Not saying thank you when a car lets you through or in recent times, on a pathway where you move to the side to be as far away from someone as possible and they just walk by. Bloody rude!

'People who don,t answer the phone unless expecting a call or don,t answer the doorbell unless expecting someone This is not rude at all confused'

Agreed. My time, I decide whether someone gets to intrude on it.

If you need to study the back of the packet like it's the bloody Dead Sea Scrolls take a step back and do it somewhere quiet.

Drinking left over gravy from a plate after a roast, obvious one tipping and slurping it off (DP I'm looking at you, makes me want to kick him every time) but also scooping it up with a spoon!

why does everyone start a sentence with " so " and i hate when young contestants on pointless insist on saying , " that was before my time, ,most things are but does not mean to say you wouldnt know the answer

Paying over £200 to visit someone who is utterly desperate to have you visit, for them to get so pissed they’re fucking incoherent within 2 hours, for every night of your visit. I refuse to do it again, she can just fuck right off.

I've really noticed this in the last week or so. I am not Mrs P Sarcastic. I have my own first initial. It's bad enough that I've taken his surname but address us both as that and that's sufficient.

The Morrison's website at the moment. Type in bananas and it first suggests eggs, broccoli , milk and pizza. Someone at some point has decided this will be a good marketing ploy but it properly annoys me that I have to scroll through four or five things that I may or may not want to get to the thing I was specifically searching for... Sorry. Not sure if this actually fits into the original post but it really winds me up and I do find it rude and insulting!
