    Is this a rude behavior asking people how old they are? Oh come on, the ages just written on your face!
    Any other wired "rude behavior" you can't understand?

    Leaving toilet seat up.

    Never understood what is supposed to be rude about that.

    Men generally need it up, women need it down, so why should it always be returned to a woman's favoured position?

    Doesn't make any logical sense, but the way some women go on about it, you'd swear it was a grave insult to womankind to leave it up.

    Guess that would be so said gentlemanlike or something like that

    People ask me all the time how old I am because I look about 17 and yet have all the things that grown ups usually have :D

    Doesn't bother me. Maybe it would if I was 17 and being asked how come I didn't have grandkids or something.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,088 ✭✭✭SpaceTime


    Some people are obcessed with age. I know some very annoyingly mature 21 year olds and some 50+ year olds who are complete party animals.

    Age is just a number. Over 18 and under 65 or 70 are all that counts really.

    I was an annoyingly mature 21 year old and I'm slowly getting younger as my age increases.

    I feel like benjamin button or something.

    Two key lessons I have learned about Women - the hard way.

    1) Never ask a woman if she is pregnant unless she tells you.
    2) Never ask a woman her age. The reply tends to be 'how old do you think I am?'. And there is NO correct answer to that question.

    What are the things that grown ups usually have? curious!

    As for leaving the toilet seat up. It's largely an American thing as their toilets are full to the brim with water.

    I prefer the idea of a toilet seat left up than a seat peed all over.

    If you're so stupid that you sit on a toilet without adjusting the seat to your desired position that's really your problem, not the toilet's.

    Also it's excruciatingly embarrassing when you say 'so when's it due?'only to discover it's a man with a beer belly.

    Hell yeah. Whoopsie is actually leaving out the good stuff, like a shtick for shtirrin' paint, a flat-file for putting an edge on the clippers, a favourite vegetable spatula, spare pilowcases for the spare spare pillowcases, and a slightly bockety hip.

    I'm a bit depressed with how accurate this is (although I've no idea what a vegetable spatula is) :o

    Depends. Are we talking "How old are you??" as in a doorman looking suspiciously at some doe-eyed youngling wobbling along in high-heels, or the other one that I usually get these days, i.e. "How old are you, you must be like, a hundred or something!!" :D

    ...Never ask a woman if she is pregnant unless she tells you...

    If you ever do fall into this trap and it turns out to be a pronounced spare tyre instead of a pronounced proto-human, the only approved escape method is to fake a heart-attack and hit the deck immediately.

    Wait until you reach about 7th Dan, and ban 3-in-1 oil from the house (linseed oil is piffle, like something the White Witch of Cobh would rub under her oxters), favouring instead a mechanic's metal squirty oil-can with a pint of 10W-40 semi in it, for hinges and what-not. :D

    Tut.

    While I agree, for me it should be rename a "Fry slice".

    I actually prefer that they leave it up. If I go into a toilet after a man and the seat is down, I always suspect he had a poo.

    Having had this discussion with the missus, we came to an agreement to close the toilet entirely after each use :pac:

    I was always told it is rude to ask a women her age.

    I have no problem with telling someone my age but something has happened in the last year or so and it's people asking me how old I am on their second question? "Where are you from?", "How old are you?". That's not rude, that's weird. Wouldn't dream of asking someone so soon in the conversation. Why the fook does it matter?

    A sensible compromise.
    In fact the toilet lid should be closed before flushing the toilet to prevent germ dispersal.

    Nothing to do with manners.
