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.

Interesting Angoose. I got through half , still have them all. In case you're wondering I was cannyman back then.
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 
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.

Should have called her out on that one^^^
The cheeky bint.

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.
Obviously an alcoholic, is she Peruvian? I think you live there? many alchy's down that way?
Individuals who put their bag on train seat beside them on packed train
That's a good one padlock, and then they get the hump when someone asks them to remove it.
People who ask me to remove my bag off the seat on the train, It's there to stop anyone sitting on it!
I always tell them im sitting there and ket them seethe with me beside them grinning
When you hold a door open for someone and they don't say thankyou
^young women with kids seem bad at this - seem to think they're owed something
East Europeans over here tick most of the boxes already mentioned.
people who get served first at a bar even when they know for sure you were there first.

When I'm in the mood I actually seek out the person with the bag on the seat. The look of thinly disguised hatred makes me chuckle.

After going to New York with your mate and him being a shambolic, strung out, paranoid mess for 4 days, which included
being abandoned for a lot of the trip because;
he didnt want to get jetlagged so was in bed early
he went AWOL after getting sh1tfaced, ending up in ER for the night, losing phone and credit card
being alone for most of the US Open final because he had to get off the subway halfway there, to sleep on a park bench
having to deal with tantrums because;
I paid for 2 beers a barman forgot to add ("he should learn personal responsibility")
it came up in conversation that he is 6 feet tall (he really, really is)
His wrinkles are actually "success lines"
I mentioned to a couple of friends we had been to a strip club (which he dragged me into)
I wouldn't lend him my phone because of the aforementioned talk of personal responisbility
then when this same d1ckhead turns up at the pre-arranged meeting point 75 minutes late on our way to the airport, I would say THAT was the height of bad manners.

Bloke i work with halfway through a conversation(with anybody) will take his phone out and start checking voicemails or will phone someone and when they answer just walk off talking to person on other end of phone.Fuc king winds me up!!!!!
it is horrible when people walk right past each other without saying hello
or if you do not take your hat off when you walk into a room
When you hold the door for someone and they just walk through without taking the door from you.
Then someone else is within a certain distance so you hold the door for them, you could be there all day if they're all rude b&ggers but you wouldn't want to let it close on someone as you have good manners.

manners are a difficult thing, you have to keep your eyes, and ears and senses open
you can learn manners but it's difficult if you don't have the temperament for it
if there were only two or three hundred people scattered all over the world manners would not be necessary

in Japan there is not one single rule or regulation that lacks its charm
When it comes to manners there are all sorts of hidden crevices, how easy it is to fall in
if you are not a polite person you will not be polite to anyone
nothing could be more boring than people not being polite to each other
People who don't indicate when leaving a roundabout. Also people unprepared to pay for goods even though they've been queuing for several minutes, the queue grows each time one of these idiots search for cards/cash.
I was in Japan once, they are so polite. so much so it can mean if you say something silly they don't like to correct you,
I got on the wrong train because of this. that's taking politeness too far

but then is it ? I remember Japan as a dreamy poetic country.
I love traveling by train, never been to Japan though so cannot talk about their railway system at all.
Did the wrong train episode cost you a lot of time ?

Lfc, please, stop it and go someone else.
Do others agree with me regards the interrupting thing. Certain people just dont understand the art of conversation and think it is all about everyone listening to them. I cant think of anything ruder. (Lfc take note)

not really angosse , it didn't matter I was going nowhere anyway , just work
In Japan people wont interrupt you. They wont use mobiles on trains. In fact any conversation on trains is largely muted. I loved their politeness. I hate it on trains in UK and you get a load of south european students, you know you are going to be subjected to a hundred decibels of (apparently friendly) shouting for the rest of the journey.
Agree about not having money/card ready saddo,an extremely annoying one that and 90% of population do it ...
rob ....
1. How do you know where these people are from and whether they are students or not ?
2. If it bothers you that much, just arks them to keep the noise down .

And don't forget the double whammy of the same eejit then taking forever and a day to put their cards and stuff back in their wallets/purses/bags etc ......
1. By the noise level, the dress code, and the fact they are speaking spanish or italian.
2. I just sit somewhere else, no compromise with these pigs.

People not having cards ready to pay is already covered by point 3 in my OP.
Having a dump when visting someone else's house is bad form.
You ain't coming round my place with that attitude.
Someone you are in mid conversation with answering their phone with out a word of apology .....as if every call to them is priority one , it won't be President Obama!
Some good answers here; I hope this can join the ranks...
People who phone YOU and then proceed to eat crisps, peanuts or the like whilst chatting

I've had people start speaking in a foreign language while I've been showing them a property.
That's pretty rude.
Not as rude as me though, I wasn't going to let people like them have it anyway.

You could now especially if they were talking in Arabic telling them it was your Xmas spirit but I doubt if they would see through the irony.

Shop workers at the till who don't say anything when I am paying for my goods. I don't expect a conversation but they should at least say hello.
Also,when there are two workers at the till talking to each other while they ignore the people they are serving.

Being nasty to women on chit chat just because they are women 
Haven't seen anyone being nasty to makybe diva
I never enjoy being in the company of fancy restaurants, they frighten me.
can you trust someone who doesn't swear eg ? perhaps they think they are above and too good to swear.
no one should presume on the good nature of the English, I find that to be rude in itself
To be a well mannered person is a lovely,beautiful thing.It costs nothing.To help,greet,assist,give up seat on bus/train,etc,etc...I'm the type of fellla that opens doors for women{AND Men} and i rarely swear in front of them either{Womem}.I don't care what the Poll Correct mob and the like say about that being sexist.They can **** OFF!
Why is it not permissible to tell other people to **** off ?
I don't know.
I don't know.
I especially like to be rude to good looking women, it comes as a terrible shock to them, they are not used to it
to meet a fine distinguished well bred person is always work, and I must truthfully say that I love comfort
the sight of poor people and low company makes me happy
Its perfectly permissable to tell other people to F,Off...i do it almost every day and the reason i do it is because there are those who deserve it,ie,i cycle daily and so often when i cycle i meet a white van man or a taxi driver,etc who think they own the bloody road...They seriously piss me off because of their disregard for others safety.I gladly and happily tell them to f,off for all i'm worth.
@lfs1971,"the sight of poor people and low company makes me happy".What does that crap mean?
turning a decent thread into a string of individual self indulgent one line random streams of consciousness so that it shows on the thread lists as having 30 new posts and it turns out when tou click on the thread that it's mostly the same person spewing out incoherent bollux... imo
Women are incredibly rude in supermarkets, and the fatter they are the ruder they get.
The only thing worse than a rude fat woman in a supermarket is when two or three of them meet up and yack for ages, blocking the entire crisps aisle with their big fat arses.
Cretins who put their bags on an empty train seat. NAP
Intentionally spitting in a person's eye is about as bad as there is imo and thankfully a habit I grew out of.
Serving a decent Chablis which hasn't been properly chilled is bloody offensive, I can tell you that for nothing.
People who allow their kids to make a racket in pubs deserve a clump.
people who stop and chat in doorways. blocking the exit. supermarkets all the time. ffs move yer arse.
Totally oblivious to the existence of anyone but themselves, the selfish bar stewards .....
owners who let their dogs sh1t on the pavement and leave it there[:angry:
(soz if already mentioned but thread's getting a little large now)
From late teens for about 15 years a group of around 5 of us used to go out EVERY Friday night, lads night, I'm sure most of you know it. One by one we only came out occasionally until it got to most of us out once a month (maybe more).
I recall one evening when we all got together one of them spent the entire night on his phone. That, to me, is the height of bad manners
