People who talk over you or interrupt you mid-sentence.
People who start checking their phone mid-conversation WHY DO SO MANY PEOPLE DO THIS.
People who don't say 'excuse me' and 'thanks' when you stand up to let them out from the window seat on a bus/train and instead just plough passed you.

Because you're so fcuking boring

Being ignored by a member of staff as a customer. Being ignored by a customer as a member of staff. If you can't acknowledge someone, you're good for fcuk all.

When you're speaking to someone and you catch their eyes drifting into space. Scumbags.

all the above but most of all being late.
if you arrange to meet someone at 9.00pm anything beyond 9.10pm is in my book extremely rude without a very very good excuse ( serious accident, sudden serious illness, death in the family)

I'm odd about the time keeping thing, I hate being late. Hate hate hate it. I get really really stressed and upset - like properly worked up - if there is any chance of me being late to something. It's a very rare thing to happen with me, but it can happen when things are out of your control, something stupid can happen where you can't find your car keys or the likes.

So when someone is running a few minutes late I would rather they calmed the fcuk down and arrived stress free and not be worrying about being a few minutes late because I know what it feels like and it's not nice and life's too short to be stressing about those things.

All that said, if someone is constantly late, and doesn't seem to think that there's anything wrong with it - then that's downright rude and I've no time for that.

Yeah there's a world of difference between being late with good intentions and being late because you can't be arsed.

Interrupting!! As in, constantly! Fair enough if you're excited about something and do it on occasion & acknowledge it. But constant interruptions do my head in and spoil a conversation.

Give them the farmer's wave, everybody responds to that. If they don't want a bale lifter through their back quarter panel they do anyway.

When someone sits on the outside seat of a packed bus/train, and the inside seat is free. Also when they don't get up so you have to squeeze past them to get into the seat.

There was a guy behind me on the bus yesterday who had gum in his mouth and was like a cow chewing cud.

People who feel the need to TALK REALLY LOUDLY no matter how quiet the room is or how close the person they're conversing with is.

BraveDonut · 17-12-2015 03:32PM

People who engage with staff in a shop/bar/cafe while on the phone.
Extremely rude and dismissive.

If I worked in a shop I would refuse to serve them until they finished their call.

_Whimsical_ · 17-12-2015 03:37PM

This is a weird one and probably peculiar to myself but with recent experience in mind I just can't help feeling this way!I think it's extremely rude of people with colds and flu's to go around sneezing and coughing and giving it to other people. There I said it!
I realise it's impossible not to but the last two years I've known 3 people going through chemo who have got colds from friends who've ended up seriously ill in hospital and I really resent losing anyone who's battling hard already to colds. When you realise how there are lots of immunocompromised people out there it seems mad we can't just do like the Japanese and wear those little masks and be fastidious about trying to prevent transmission. Instead we have these "cold/flu warriors" deciding to come visit when they're ill spewing germs everywhere. I think at least it's very very rude not to be mindful of the state of someone elses health before you decide to call around with you bugs.

SAMTALK · 17-12-2015 03:39PM

People who spit on the path just as you're walking past :mad:

I will expand your point about not making gestures of thanks to driving. I often let cars out of side streets if I'm in a queue of traffic. Most people nod, finger wave, thumps up etc. Those who don't after being let out I feel like demolition derbying their ass. :-)

Agree fully. I always give a big wave and a smile... Also lovely when you have pulled over to let someone pass and they flick their lights to thank you.

In summer when I was trading in a tourist place, one lady was wearing a mask, Wish I had the nerve to do that. I stay away from crowded places as much as I can as I am immunosuppressed. Mass for me is on the internet.

+100

Same; I have a relative who neat leukaemia (at 14), and we had strict orders to KEEP AWAY if we had so much as a tickle in our throats.

Now that I have to spend the rest of my life taking immunosuppressants, I can get on board with your sentiment

.. and when the cashier knows the customer and they have a chat. In LIDL they talk in Polish though if they meet a neighbour..

redbel05 · 17-12-2015 04:03PM

People who talk constantly at mass/ the cinema. If you don't want to listen, or at least be quietly respectful of other people who do, then go somewhere else! No one forced you to be here.
