Using a mobile phone isnt the worst as long as people are aware that they are taking a bit of a liberty doing this in public so as a matter of respect talk quietly and be discreet, until you cam find a secluded area then you can talk a bit louder.

Incredible that they achieved two top three singles with what was, I'm afraid, a load of drivel, sorry Buster but you and the boys got lucky and surfed on the general Ska revival for a lot longer than your musical ability merited.

lateness with no apology is a bad one

It's been a long time Joel, quite a bit of rust to shake off Happy

Anyway, failing to hold a door open for someone is high on my list as is going out of your way to block someone joining a line of slow moving traffic.

Being late even with an apology is bad manners for me, funny how those serial latecomers manage to make it to the airport in time for their flights but can't turn up to a pre-arranged meeting with the same level of punctuality.

Must be around that Kenny, only logged back on as a result of the yahoo security issues that resulted in me receiving an email from Betfair.

I have made a lot of changes since I was last on here, definitely a good few chapters worth for my autobiography, that's for sure.

Anyway, back to the thread, queue jumping was already mentioned and there is a subtle variant that deserves its own shout and that is the queue jumper who tries to legitimise their actions by asking "do you mind if I go in front of you ?"

Well good to see you back, albeit briefly. Did you plough through those World At War DVD's we collected from the Daily Mail? How's that for memory? Happy

It doesn't get much worse than farting in company.

That seems quite common these days from a certain type.

Wow, that's impressive Kenny.
DVD one made it in to the DVD player and I watched the first ten minutes or so but nothing since then.

Unreal, just popped upstairs and found them, twenty six in all from "A New Germany: 1933 - 1939" through to "Remember".
The remarkable thing is that you can still buy machines to play them on, who would have thought that all the way back then.

Coming on a thread about bad manners and then engaging in a conversation about other stuff(world at war?  Daily Mail? Jesus wept). Wtf is going on Kenny?

Women (and it's always women) and their bad time management.

Talking, getting ready to go out, getting ready to do, well pretty much anything really.

It's effectively saying "Your time is way less important than mine. Whatever stuff you were planning on doing or however easily you wanted to take the drive to wherever it is we're going? Forget it! It's all about me"

Particularly in a lift between floors 1-2,when there's just the two of you, getting out at 3,and leaving you to pray nobody else comes in before 5.

Hijacking threads is another bad one Happy

Dr, don't you have an anti-flatulence pill that you could make your fortune from ?
Doctor Crippen's Anti Fart Pills, a fiver for a multipack of twenty, what a bargain.

Rob, it's a bit of an old school reunion with Kenny and me, reminiscing about the good old days, nostalgia ain't what it used to be you know Laugh

Another one then, outdoing the storyteller with a bigger or better feat, real or imaginary.

I've got this one covered.

STARING.

When someone is relatively close to you, like in a restaurant and they just stare straight at you at length, what is that about, even when you look back and put on a what are looking at frown expression, it continues. Should be a criminal offence.

cannyman, oh yes, I remember you.

One more, not sure if it's bad manners or just bloody annoying but the constant overhead locker searchers on flights.
Just sit down and sleep, eat or watch a film like everyone else.

This isn't in direct response to the OP, because it just isn't common at all, but last year I was at a small gathering at my mate's house. There was an awful woman there who had already committed a few faux pas like changing the music that the host had put on despite having been told not to.

Anyway, I'd taken a couple of bottles of wine and had shared them around, even with the awful woman. She came over and asked for some more, and when I said it had run out, she actually took my full glass of wine from under my nose and started walking off with it. I was sitting there, playing cards, and she actually took my glass of wine. The last one.

Pretty bad manners imo.

Of course I called her out! Even if I'd been in the middle of a heart attack I'd still have called her out.

It wasn't a joke or anything, she was just an incredibly self-entitled person. It worked out OK though because it gave my mate a perfectly valid reason to ban her from coming to his house again.

Patra, would you mind sharing an approximate age of this rude individual ?

Failing to replace the toilet paper when you have used the last piece is bad manners in my book.
After all, who bothers to check the "inventory" in advance of commencing operations ?

She was in her 50s! Like I said, she was my mate's neighbours' friend. She was a failed actress who believed that anyone who had more money than she did should give her some of it.
