I didn't know people took offence at a mobile phone left on the table.

I do and I'm 29 aswell. It's just bad manners. Same with people constantly on their phone texting or faceboook or whatever on nights out. Can't stand it.

Someone being stingy. There's no coming back from being an absolute tight arse.

Buzz Meeks · 20-06-2015 06:18PM

You're going to have to come down in price. By at least 10%.
And I'm going to bring in my own people.

Otherwise the deals off.

Having worked in the service industry for a few years, Im conscious of being polite and make sure to make eye contact and say please and thank you to waiters/cashiers etc in general

Deal breaker for me if a chap treats service staff with any less respect than I would

using the phone at the table, especially to take photos of food or drinks,then uploading them online where they live an alternative pastel colored existence

Someone lacking in manners really. I'm pretty tolerant of a lot, but poor manners is just inexcusable.

That's a fine effort you've made to make it sound like it's actually difficult to not mention your ex, but ultimately it's bollix, it's easy not to mention your ex unless you're a bit if a dimwit.

If you're still good friends with your ex, never mentioning them would be pretty weird.

I agree but i would subscribe to the Tina turner school of thought ... two outta three aint bad ....

Greenmachine · 20-06-2015 06:59PM

Talking about x's should be the deal breaker. Everything else is pale in comparison.

Willing to go on a date with me. Bad sign. Don't think I could ever date someone who thought that little of themselves tbh.

Maybe I'm just more desperate but I only really see the bad hygiene as a deal breaker.

Systematic use of seen/done rather than saw/did.
Sense of entitlement or bitterness.
Racism.
Wants to talk about music.
Invisible umbilical cord to their phone.

Aw what's wrong with music

Seachmall · 20-06-2015 09:51PM

Whinging.

I don't mean expressing negative opinions or disliking something but whinging about something for a solid hour does not a good date make.

Went on a date with a girl who ****e'd on about her parents and wanting to leave home and blah-blah-blah for at least an hour.

You're 22 sweetheart, stop blaming your parents for everything.

If a song comes on or comes up in conversation and we have opinions on it, I'd love to talk about it.

What I can't stand is people who ask you really early on "so what kind of music do you like?", as a way to judge you but more importantly as a way to get you to eventually have to turn the question back to them so that they can try to completely explain their own vision of their entire being by naming all the music they like. It's invariably a long list, including caveats such as "but only their early stuff", and which to me exposes people who are slightly immature and overly introspective.

It's less so music being brought up that bothers me, but more so the idea that a person needs to use music as a badge to wear to show the world that they think they know the kind of person they are. Just like whatever music you like, because I'm never going to be impressed by someone's 'recently played' list. It's just bizarre to me.

I don't get the whole "never mention an ex" thing. I mean obviously if someone spends an hour talking about how amazing their ex was then it's a bit wtf but to just mention them in a story seems perfectly fine. If the topic of conversation goes to a place that it's difficult not to mention an ex then I would have no problem with it.

I find it far more weird that people are supposed to mentally plan a conversation to make sure they never mention an ex or else refer to them as a "friend".

To be fair I think you've just picked it up wrong. Mentioning an ex and talking about an ex are very different.

"It's about two years since I was at the zoo, the ex brought me. Love the penguins. So funny. And the elephants! Must really go back there soon".

"It's about two years since I was at the zoo, the ex brought me. Oh my god he used to annoy me. He was one of those types..."

Very different.
