Refusal to wait in line/queue -pushing to the front. Especially the people who do this when there is very clearly a line

Being stinky in public. Some people can't help it/have medical problems, I know, but really, it can't be as many as I've encountered over the last few days. Did Santa stop giving out deodorant and soap?

Only Gravdigr can fully explain what he means, but to me, I thought he meant someone totally ignoring someone else asking you a question is rude. If someone is not being unpleasant, has irritating and rude behavior, then it's rude to ignore him/her. Well, just my interpretation.

I agree. That is extremely rude. :p:

Salespeople who answer the phone while you are right in front of them interacting on a purchase.
Buh bye. You will NOT get my business.

I got a few peeps as well ... Is there a group discount?

You pay for the gas, I'll take the heat. I can blame it all on PTSD.

And this one fucker.... he always uses my stapler... which I keep to my left... and just leaves it out in the middle of the desk when he's done...

I think I'll go punch him in the kidney right now, unprovoked.

Take all the staples out of that stapler and use it as a desk ornament until "fucker" makes a habit of going elsewhere and hide another stapler for your use. Not as permanent as a kidney punch... ;)

I thought you did not shop at Wal Mat? :eyebrow:

Orphaning AND ignoring.

Why would you think that?

If asked where the pharmacy is in the store, I will point as well as direct verbally (if there is a queue I cannot leave my till).
Pointing may mean something different to you.

Nanny considered this rude too. It came to me via her and Mum.
I'm less strict about it now, but I do still suffer some discomfort if circumstances require me to eat on the move (including nowhere to sit and/ or time constraints). Our family exception is at the seaside, which I guess has the same flavour as a county fair.

Chips (fries), ice cream, hot dog, donuts in a bag etc.

Sorry you feel ignored Sundae. I didn't feel that there was anything to add. Would it not be kind of crazy if everybody replied to every post even when they had nothing to say?

Sundae 12-28-2011 02:40 PM

I like crazy.
Although I am genuinely interested in how pointing can be rude.

monster 12-28-2011 02:43 PM

I was just brought up that it was, and so to me it is. Here's an example

For future reference, perhaps it would be more polite to ask specifically if further clarification is required, then one would not feel ignored if one did not get an answer to the question one did not actually ask :)
