I think you'll find the headphones and phones rudeness is almost uniquely confined to the younger generation.

I find tarring everybody in a group or demographic with the same brush is rude.

'Twas always thus. Aristotle complained about young people and ear phones.

Jesus Christ. What the hell is wrong with some people.

Yeah, minus the face kicking part. I just said "what a charmer" all moral highground whilst kicking myself (in the face?) for not being able to come up with anything quickly.

Tardiness.
I can't abide it.

Fair enough we all get delayed, but if I was meeting someone at a specified time and I was going to be five minutes late then I'd ring or text at a bare minimum.

It's incredibly rude to just happen along at whatever time you happen to show up.

You might want to read what was posted. I did not say all young people were rude by wearing headphones or using phones while in conversation. Merely that those who do are more likely to be the younger rather than the older set.

Isn't it very rude when somebody tries to get a cheap shot by misrepresenting something you said?

I'll see your rude customer example and raise it with:

Cashiers handing your change while you're still putting the groceries in the bag. Do I have three hands?!?! :mad:

Well they can't leave the tills open/ leave money lying around the till while they wait for you to pack them. What they should do though is help you which I have seen in my local dunnes!

ytpe2r5bxkn0c1 · 20-07-2015 04:57PM

People talking on mobile phones while being served in a shop. Does my head in!

They don't have to leave the till open, just either put the change down beside the groceries (lots of places do this, I don't mind it) or just hold it until the person is finished (M&S staff do this a lot and so must be trained to). Trying to give someone money whilst they're packing is rude and the next time someone does it to me I'm going jump up on the shop counter and start acting like a monkey in the zoo.

Drenching the toilet seat in a half gallon of sour piss and walking off leaving it for the next person. I'm talking public bathrooms here, pubs, airports etc. I'd say about 80% of the time when I go to use a cubicle in a public convenience , the seat is wet with stale piss.

Yeah, hate the sour, stale stuff meself, could they not leave sweet, fresh urine behind?

anncoates · 20-07-2015 05:07PM

Workmates - all university educated professionals - that still think it's OK to leave dirty fcuking skid marks in work toilets or leave the toilet seat soaked in piss.

Fcuking horrible.

Like I said, my local Dunnes will help you pack, but I don't see how giving you your change at any point is rude. You gave them money, you know you're expecting change, just stop bagging for two seconds and take it from them.

Women who don't swallow. I mean ffs I went to the trouble of producing it then they don't even want it?

Bad table manners is a big no-no. Pointing with cutlery, talking with your mouth full etc...

It's rude because you're busy holding the bag with one hand, packing with the other and then all of sudden you have a hand full of change that you need to pocket before you can carry on packing.

..just stop bagging for two seconds and take it from them.

I do, all the God damn time but it's rude to make someone do that. That's the point.

How do you know it's sour?

Dial Hard · 20-07-2015 05:28PM

Habitual lateness.

Being rude to service staff.

Leaving shared toilet facilities in a state.

Not holding doors open for someone directly behind you.

Not thanking someone who's just held a door for you.

Because it's such a huge surprise that if you give more money than you're meant to give, you're gonna get the difference back.

What you're describing really isn't rude unless the cashier has some kind of attitude and they're trying to rush you or something.

Queue jumping! Drives me insane. I have recently encountered on a couple of occasions old biddies who seem to think that their age/dodderyness should send them straight to the top of a long queue.

I have to admit though that my intolerance of this behaviour recently led me to have egg all over my face, when I gave out to a queue jumping teenager on a waterside who barged in front of my 7 year old, pushing him slightly whilst doing so. I could only see her from behind and started to let her have it, she turned around and was quite obviously special needs. I have never felt like such a cnut in my life.

Youngblood.III · 20-07-2015 05:38PM

Letting a person out in traffic and they don't even wave a 'thanks'...I hate you

Mine are if you cant hear someone and you ask them to repeat it and then they do so but in a slow manner and condescending way.

>>They are probably thinking that you have a hearing impediment! It happens to me from-time-to-time. Rudeness? Nay!

People on there phones/tablets while youre trying to talk to them>

>>If you are trying to talk to them whilst they are in conversation on their phone, then you are the one who is rude.:(

People wearing headphones when youre talking to them

>>Maybe they are listening to their music and do not wish to be disturbed.

some middle aged/ Older people seem to have a rude attitude.

I like talking to older folk, for it seems that they are the only ones with any manners.
[Something that is sadly lacking in the younger generation ]:(

When your telling someone a story and they interupt you to tell a similar story that happened to them except their story was way better or more exciting/dangerous or whatever (in their opinion) Those people should be made dead instantly.

When you're clearly wearing headphones and some idiot is speaking away to you.

People who do not use their indicators on roundabouts.
I could add a thousand other things but am typing this on my phone!

Being late / leaving someone waiting :mad:

Had an ex leave me waiting for a half hour, missing the start of a movie we were meant to see and she turns up with a Starbucks coffee in hand. Said Starbucks was no where near where she was coming from or the cinema so she literally had to cross to the other side of the city to go to it. Showed a serious amount of disrespect. Found herself dumped soon afterwards, it was just one nail in the coffin.

Spent a lot of time, energy and travel looking for a particular (scarce as hen's teeth) vintage bicycle for a chap.

Finally, after nearly four months I secured one, as promised.

Now he doesn't fckun want it.. !
