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

People who ring, leave a message and then keep ringing every 45 seconds.

If I haven't answered the phone, there is a reason - I'm driving or in the shower or making pastry and my hands are covered in gunk. Just go away and do something else, I'll call back when I'm not busy.*

This is what my MIL used to do, right in the middle of our DDs' bedtime routine. She justified it by saying that she was worried that my DH hadn't yet rung back (after 10 minutes).

People who ring you and start the conversation Hello, is that Mrs Burnthurst?

My reply is always. Who's calling?

Once they've explained who they are and why they're calling I will tell them who I am, or not

When you call somebody you should introduce yourself first and then ask your questions
