Would you tell a stranger to have some manners?

I remember an humourous newspaper article years ago,the reporter for the laugh went around for the day and corrected peoples manners,like not to put their feet up on the seats of the bus,not to spit on the street,throw gum into bin,unsurprisingly he was greeted with a f#ck off and lucky not to get a hiding in some cases.

Where there ever moments you forgot yourself and told some member of public to have manners?.

If someone is rude to me then I wouldn't think twice about telling them to have some manners!

"A member of the public"? What do you think we, you and the reporter are? The Manners Police?

In fast food restaurants all the teenagers roaring laughing and shouting in the corner, dropping food and eating with their mouths open argggh! Drives me bananas.
Adults can be offensive too leaving off a silent one in tesco and walking away like they never let one off leaving the smell behind to unaware customers.

Spanish students on public transport, they get told to shut up, thats about it!

I've been tempted to but haven't had the cojones to follow through on my ire.

Lol, What do you expect them to do? Mid queue in tescos: "Sorry lads, I let a right one off there. I do apologise"

This is something I do all the time actually. If I hold the door open etc etc and someone walks through with no acknowledgement I always say quite aggresively "F**king Manners ! ! !".

Bad Manners = My pet hate.

I find that "Theres no need to be so rude" puts people far more in their place than "Have some manners". Unfortunately, it doesnt stop them.

Innocent customers, lmao. You make it sound like they were mugged. It's only a fart ffs. What would you prefer, that they held it in?

Somehow the Spanish think that they must shout in order to communicate I'm only back from Spain and the eardrums were blown off me by all the shouting.

Be on time:

This is top of my list. The amount of people who simply cant be on time for anything.

It is completely disrespectful not to be on time. Work colleagues learn quickly, customers not so much.

I didn't forget myself, I deliberately have told some rude folk to mind their manners.

last thursday , 8.45 am green luas harcoure street heading south

young knackbag sitting in situp mode in the left two rear seats of the train
back to window ,
feet up on aisle seat .
proceeds to use his Iphone ( yes ) as a mirror while plucking at his eyebrows .
im eyeing this and debating whether to get up and sit beside him to piss him off , but he suddenly gets up at cowper and heads out the door rapidly

straight into a ticket inspector pincer movement , who he tried to shoulder aside , but was surrounded.

oh how i laffed .

dj jarvis

i have and do

if i see someone parking in a wheel chair parking space who does not have the symbol on the dash i ALWAYS pull them up over it
doing this is the height of ignorance

tescos in arklow has a huge car park , is empty 99.99 % of the time but the wheelchair spaces are full of able bodied gob****es who dont want to walk a extra 10 feet

now that is bad manners - ignorant and deserves a kick in the knackers for it

--LOS--

No I cba unless it had a direct and somewhat significant impact on me like someone skipping me in the queue when I dont have the time to spare. Most times though I'd rather not be giving myself something extra to worry about.

I used to work in a supervalu at the weekends while I attended college during the week. Anyway I'd usually get hammered on a Friday or Saturday night and have to go to work the next day. I'd have awful bowels the next day because of all the beer and I couldn't be running off to the toilet all the time, so I'd just find an empty isle and let one off! The smell would be horrendous and a couple of times I'd see someone with a trolley coming and have to walk off quickly. I never heard any complaints. Anyway I hated working there, hopefully they lost some customers.

Just yesterday told a Chinese guy to have some manners in an Internet cafe. Girl asked him which printer she should select to print and he started screaming at her: "I don know, don ask, I don know, I don't know, ok". She was near tears, pleading that she had spent an hour working on a CV. Then he jumps up in a huff from playing computer games and starts shouting at her again, asking her what is wrong with her :rolleyes: I happen to know his boss and told him so, the guy's a total asshole, not the first time I seen him roaring at customers who ask him questions, thinks he's getting paid to play Warcraft 8 hours a day.
