Things you consider bad manners that others don’t

[Novasmum]

Inspired by an experience earlier today of having to listen to a man whistle for 10 minutes in GP waiting room.

Not only is it annoying but I do think it’s bad manners but I know other people wouldn’t class whistling as bad manners.

what’s yours?

I very much doubt that anyone would criticise someone for not being able to use one hand and for holding their cutlery a certain way as a result. Jumping in and calling someone a twat and old fashioned just because they said they thought it was bad manners if someone didn’t hold a knife and fork the correct way presumably when someone physically can was completely OTT and uncalled for. Plenty of things on this thread I don’t agree with - wouldn’t dream of calling a poster a twat.

Agreed!

You'd be able to tell from across the room that I couldn't use my other hand?

You keep telling yourself that.

I wouldn’t look twice at you.

So just a quick judgement then.

About as quick as it took me to judge you for your twat comment.

I don't give a shit if you think I'm a twat. Knock yourself out.

I give less of a shit if you give a shit.

My comment was pretty lighthearted.

I do know the type. Deep down I love em really.

Riiiight. Ok then.....

One less nasty judgemental person then. No loss really

Indeed.

I've just re-read your 'lighthearted' list... As someone with disabilities you judge a lot of things that could be done because of disability... Mobility, hearing loss.. but others are nasty for calling you out?

Look if you give less of a shit than me.. why keep responding?

ditto

It's even worse when this kind of person gets on. Standing in the aisle taking off numerous layers of clothing extracting that book/iPad/magazine you wanted whilst blocking everyone else getting on when you could have at least done the latter in the 45 mins to an hour you've been waiting to board the plane. And don't get me started on the kind of moron (usually male) who stands in the aisle for half the flight chatting to his mate who is sat in the middle seat. Seriously, can you not be without each other company for 60 minutes?

Lateness and not saying thank you

Formal or not, the host should honour the deceased by provide all the food and drinks for the guests. Alcohol is optional.

If that invitation to bring cake is meant for me, I’m washing my hair.
Anyway, I’m not sure why it’s more outrageous to expect your host to have a teapot than to expect her to have Earl Grey. Both are rude, wouldn’t you say?

@Ylfa You’re a guest, even if a paying guest, not a toddler.

No, you're a customer. Following this logic, if you bought an item that didn't work properly, would you just keep it without complaining but not use that business again?
