Social behaviour - a wee rant
I know I’m going to offend some people with this but here are a few things that make me look as though I’m sucking a lemon, okay? The people doing them seem to feel it is their absolute right to do it in public and to hell with the lemon-suckers. It is happening more and more often and you know what? Not everyone loves watching. Rein it in a bit.A couple noisily and lengthily kissing, especially if they are groping each other at the same time. The whole world doesn’t love lovers.
Especially if you’re slurping.
Eating noisily with your mouth open throughout.
Talking while you’re eating, especially if I get a fine spray of food and your gob in the process, gets a DOUBLE ew
Peeing against a tree with people around - at least go round the tree, okay?
Whipping out an engorged tit and openly feeding your kid. The older the kid, the more embarrassing it is for the rest of us. Kids that bang on mummy's shirt and demand 'titty, mummy, titty!' - oh, hang on, I think there's a youtube vid. I'll find it for the comments.
Picking your nose, especially if you then turn it into a meal. Bon appetite.
Talking very loudly on your phone – particularly effective on a long train trip in the “quiet” carriage. Don't forget to be very boring and repeat yourself at least 4 times.
Yes yes yes all absolutely natural and perfectly lovely and you can be as offended as you like. But now you know not everyone thinks it lovely behaviour.
So there.

I´ve seen women in an office doing that when they´re dealing with the public!
Ensures you have plenty of elbow room even in the biggest crowds
Especially the ones who give it their full attention as if they have to have that nail eaten down to the knuckle by 6pm!
Makes for easier reading, don'you think?
Not alone does that not help. It's spoiled bewbs a little for me.
You know when you get on coach and they go through safety checks, seat belts, escape doors , were loo is,etc they should say and all phones switched off until maybe 10mins before arrival so you can let people know how late coach is, AND dummies in front of bus FREE for babes
Yes it was worst journey i have had, even pldies now have the tech stuff to hand and they shout louder as their hearing has gone
I believe it comes from texting?
Ewwwwwwwwwww!
Texting nowadays has word recognition and you have to override that if u r determined. There's NO excuse
A guy is loudly talking on his cell phone talking to his girlfriend.
"So sorry I will be late darling but it is business and no the one girl you don't like won't be there.
You know my love I only have eyes for you.
This sappy talk is going of for some time, then the girl sitting in the same coupe, calls out loudly;
"Okay Harry hang up the phone now and come back to bed"
Couple talking loudly on their cell phone in a restaurant.
We passed them on our way out and told them that we had been listening to a very interesting story.
We had been sitting several tables away from them.
The whole restaurant had to listen.............

Manners, common courtesy , and respect to others doesn t exist with these people.
I ve had so many near accidents (driving), because of people texting,
Gypsy. I see it bothers you too?
When texting my phone has text prediction so it writes the words in full.
When writing on my laptop the word processor corrects the words or underlines them.
ie. You'd never take out a notebook mid conversation with someone and start reading/writing in it, because clearly that would be very rude, but we do that with our phones all the time.
First time I met up with some Scots on Twitter I thought it was going to be ALL phones - that's how we all got acquainted, after all, I had visions of us tweeting each other right there in the pub
I know that I experience symptoms of withdrawal when I'm offline, ever for a few hours.
