I had an experience with a line cutter last year that made me pretty upset, although it probably bothered me more than it should. It was at a play I went to with a friend and her husband. She went to the restroom and I was waiting in line for coffee with her husband. It was the first time I had met him so I kinda kept a little bit of extra distance between me and him in line (I like my personal space, lol). Anyway, these 2 little old ladies walked up and asked if this was the end of the coffee line; my friend's husband and I both said yes. One lady proceeded to make eye contact with both of us, then squeezed in between us. The line wasn't perfectly straight, so it took a little ways for her to completely separate me from from my friend, who had come back by this point, and her husband. I'll admit I didn't handle this well. They were little old ladies, but honestly, I felt they should know better. I didn't confront them, but when the line started moving and they were too busy talking to notice, I stepped around them and retook my place in line. This made the lady who had originally made eye contact with me say pretty loudly, "Well! That girl just cut in line!" I held my tongue, but inside my head I was fuming. Apparently, she was the only person allowed to cut in line.

 Well, that was a long drawn out story. I know I probably should have let go of the situation, but it truly bothered me since she looked straight at me and chose to ignore that I was there but not the people I was with. 

Ok, rant concluded. Sorry about that.

Good for you for taking you place back! 

Thanks, Rachel. :-) This was one of those things where I was never really sure if I handled it right. It's nice to get some feedback.

One more thing that should be on this list is class talkers. I am talking about the people who have whisper, or in some cases not so quiet conversations during class.

As usual, we look to the allknowing WIKI for a definition . . .

  • Rudeness (also called impudence or effrontery) is a display of disrespect by not complying with the social "laws" or etiquette of a group or culture. These laws have been established as the essential boundaries of normally accepted behavior. To be unable or unwilling to align one's behavior with these laws known to the general population of what is socially acceptable is to be rude.

 

And, while we're at it, let's also add these folks to my evergrowing list of dislikes . . .

  • SEAT HOGGERS - - - people who spread out over two or three spaces on the bus, train or subway, placing their bags on a seat instead of the floor, etc. when it's really crowded and others are having to stand in the aisle

 

  • ESCALEFTERS - - those people who always stand on the left side of the escalator, which is obviously intended only to be used as a passing zone 

 

  • POLE LEANERS - - the ones who are oblivious that anyone else is trying to hold on to the pole

 

  • ELEVAPHONERS - - those who carry on a full (and loud) conversation on their cell phone after stepping into a crowed elevator, like they can't ask their friend to hold until they take that ride up to the second floor

 

  • TABLETEXTERS - - my current LEAST FAVORITE of all rude behaviors, where you think the text that just popped up on your cellphone or checking to see what somebody you only know in a virtual realm has just posted or liked or pinned or whatever is more important / entertaining in your own opinion instead of joining into the conversations with others around the dinner table . . . especially in a restaurant when I'm the one paying for your meal.

 

Rant over.  Have a nice day.

I think people that sneeze/cough/or do anything with their mouth or nose into their hands before touching you should be arrested. I hate having to shake hands with someone who just sneezed into their hand or take money from someone who just licked their fingers to separate the bills.

Page lickers drive me crazy too! 

Perhaps if they were to reserve the left hand for sneeze/cough and use the right hand for all other uses.  This reminded me of something I heard long ago, so I looked up a link:

 

Middle Eastern Manners - Etiquette, Customs, Gestures - Part II

Also, the left hand is considered unclean as it is used for toileting. Always eat with the right hand. If you steal and are convicted, your right hand will be cut off, thus forcing you to eat with your left hand for the rest of your life, which is considered to be the greatest insult.

Cards Against Humanity is a game that will have you laughing like crazy - HAHA!!! :)
