The other day a lady's bag blew away from her in the car park and I caught it and went to hand it back to her, she ripped it out of my hand, no thank you, just turned and walked away. Pure ignorant behaviour.

I also have a problem with people who cant ever be on time, its hugely disrespectful of someone's time. I'm not talking five minutes or being late and texting, I'm talking half an hour and just showing up.
My in laws are like this and it drives me bonkers, its to the point of ridiculousness now that we tell them a meeting time an hour before we need them and theyre still late!

I would have grabbed the bag of her again and flung it far into the car park.

Someone flicking your Ballbag when you're in the middle of teabagging, shocking rude

gent9662 · 17-12-2015 04:45PM

Think it's the height of rudeness when you let another driver turn in front of you and they don't even acknowledge it. The more expensive the car the more they do it.

Cars parking on the wrong side of the road facing the on coming traffic when they are in a position of not being able to see on coming traffic because parked cars and then expecting all the traffic to stop for them when blindly pulling out to get themselves back over onto the right side of the road.

when some one calls to visit you and they tell you they are sick .

apparently im the one with the problem when I tell them to get out

if your sick (anything contagious etc) say away from everyone.

People who constantly blow their nose in public annoy's the sh*t out of me. One particular guy who sits across from me in the office does it at least 4-5 times a day, extremely loudly and with a handkerchief which goes back into the pocket (after a visual inspection of course), which in itself is repulsive.

Better than Picking it out and eating it IMO

LittleLiar · 17-12-2015 05:49PM

People who cycle on the path RIGHT BESIDE the bike lane. And worse, then they ring their little d!ckhead bell for YOU to get out of THEIR way.

I had a colleague who wouldn't look me in the face if I was speaking to him while he was at his desk. He'd keep looking at the screen or whatever and answer me, even if he'd asked me to come to him. I just walked in and didn't speak until he looked up, in the end. I think failing to directly acknowledge someone speaking to you or looking them in the eye when they speak to you is really rude.

Not acknowledging someone letting you out in traffic, holding the door for you, making room for you to pass in a crowded situation, or even just saying please or thank you, is rude. Putting your bag on a seat is rude, putting your feet on a seat is rude too, and spreading your knees so far apart that your seat-mate is squished up against the window is also rude.

It's really easy not to be rude, you'd wonder why people don't want to even put the minimum effort into interacting with others pleasantly.

newport2 · 17-12-2015 05:55PM

People who think that putting on the hazard lights in their car allows them to bypass all the rules of the road.

It's not always intentional rudeness though to be fair, some people are just uncomfortable and shy thus find it difficult to maintain eye contact, off course some of them are just ignorant fcukers who think they are above you but its not always the case.

Even if it's due to shyness, it's pretty dismissive. I'm shy myself but I'll be courteous enough to look at someone if they speak to me. I do understand what you're saying though.

This particular guy was just a bit self important though, he got away with it for too long.

Next time Fart loudly behind him and see if he acknowledges you then

armaghlad · 17-12-2015 06:06PM

It has been mentioned already but I simply cannot reiterate enough how much I despise when people cough, sneeze etc in a room without covering their mouth. Even when they do it is quite disgusting.

There is also a special place in hell for those who think it acceptable to fart in confined spaces be that a pub or nightclub or whatever. You know the ones I mean, the pure rotten ones that linger and actually give you mild shock they're that bad. It is particularly distressing when there are females present, as every male in the vicinity automatically becomes a suspect. Meanwhile the guilty party has probably slipped off to another part of the building sniggering to himself.

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.

If they had the flu they wouldn't be able to get out of bed, so the only way you could be able to get it from them would be to hop into bed with them.

jimmurt · 17-12-2015 06:17PM

Worse than turning up late is when you message someone a few hours before you are due to meet to confirm the time or place and they message back saying "oh sorry I won't be able to make it later" or something to that effect.

Any chance you could have told me earlier and not just cos I happened to text you. Ignorant ******s

This as well.

A friend asked me to join crossfit with him a few years back. Sure I said, sure we can do it together during the off season and keep ourselves in shape. Constant texts, do you still want to join, you still up for this etc. Yeah sure I am I kept replying.

Said friend proceeds to arrange an induction without informing me, then causally drops it into conversation that he's going one Thursday evening. Oh thanks for telling me, not a problem ill get booked in myself.

Come Thursday evening I text asking does he want a lift round. Oh no I'm not going anymore!

Jokers with toddlers in cars that always manage to park so that they have to swing the door onto the street to take them out and put them in. Then they give the death stare to any car driving close to them. Wake the fcuk up and get the toddler out at the foot path side.

When I'm not at work, I'll talk however the **** I want to talk, grammatically correct or not. (swear word -- speak to me after class!)

It's rare in real life (my oh does it to bug me though) but it's rife on the internet. I treat this little box I'm typing in like my mouth. I'm 'speaking' conversationally, I don't care if it's perfect.

I totally agree with you. Not much point of having the safest car seat the parent can find if they are going to pull the poor child out onto the middle of a busy road to get the child into it.

esforum · 17-12-2015 06:56PM

Not cleaning up after your dog ****s on the ground, what the ****. My kids play on this street!

People who park on the path facing into the driveway, Again WTF. So I have to walk on the road with my kids cause you are too stupid or lazy to park horizontally and walk an extra 3 feet???? Its a FOOTpath

Cyclists who dont use the cycle lane, drivers who dont respect the cycle lane, pedestrians who walk in the cycle lane when the path is empty (and no not the shared ones and no, the 2013 act did not allow cyclists to ignore cycle lanes). Its just simple manners and logic, cars on the road, pedestrians on the path, cyclists in the cycle lane. Everyone happy

talking and using your phone in the cinema. Jesus Christ, facebook about the movie AFTERWARDS and use a watch to check the time (Will never forget the 5 people who all had conversations on their phones during the film and then proceeded to take their shoes off and put their feet on the seats in front)

People who do the above and then have the audacity to not only claim they are right, but give you ****

the_pen_turner · 17-12-2015 07:37PM

lateness is very rude but I think being early is worse.
I know a few that say 6 pm but are there waiting and getting impatient at 5.30pm .
my father is a pain for this. if you say 6 then don't ring me at 5 55 and complain im not there .

my uncle would organise to go the bog to bring home turf . I would be on time but he would have been there a hour earlier and would be all loaded up. total waste of my time.

Strumms · 18-12-2015 12:09AM

I bet it's been mentioned before.. but just now when paying for petrol. Hand the guy the note and stand there with my hand out to receive said change.. Only for him to plonk it down on the counter and me with hand still out. For whatever reason that boils my *****ng blood.. I know it's not the biggest deal in the world but next time I'm going to insist the f*cker picks it back up and puts it in my hand.

Say Your Number · 18-12-2015 12:32AM

Cars taking up two spaces in a car park is something that infuriates me, mainly because I'm always obsessive about making sure cars can fit either side of me and then you see some lazy c*nt just stroll in to a space and not bother to straiten up, especially when the car park is busy and you have to do a few extra laps of it due to said lazy c*nt.

Dont forget the disabled / expectant mother spaces.

and people that park over the line leaving you all of 6 inches space to open your door and get in :mad:

(bash bash bash, now I fit)

fussyonion · 18-12-2015 12:53AM

People who interrupt me when I'm talking.
I talk quite fast and I think it's because I'm afraid I'll be interrupted and never get to finish what I'm saying.

People who are sick coming into my house is also another one.

I have a relative who has a weak immune system and her friend called over with her young daughter. Her friend said she had a bad cold and the daughter had chickenpox.
I mean ffs!

Cashiers who don't say please or thank you.

That makes me loose the ****in head. If I park and get out to go about my business and I give a cursory glance back and find that I'm even slightly over where someone could have an issue parking beside me in a space occupied or otherwise or even have trouble getting into their car.. I'll get back in and start up and straighten her up.. Incidentally the f*cks that are the worse culprits for taking up two spots are usually merc drivers.. big cars.. erm so you drive a big car that takes up a little more space ? you can still fit into one if you just ever so slightly drop your sense of not giving a **** about others and take that extra 5 seconds to actually park the ****er. w*nk bag.

A lot of people do it so people don't bang into their cars. Especially when you work in place that has a busy car park you have a high chance of people hitting doors into your car because it's there for 8 hours so more cars come and go.

Personally I always parked really far away because it's less busy. I do the same if i'm in a rental or whatever, just park really really far from the door.

I would never take up two parking spaces though, that's just ignorant.

What do you consider to be rude/bad manners?
