Smoking in public. It doesn't just harm you, it harms the people around you and pollutes the air.

Mine is probably shaking hands when you meet someone because that’s gross. Or having a pet that needs to be outside a lot (like a Samoyed) when you have an apartment or no backyard.

Sexism. Even the subtle or benevolent sexism like 'you throw like a girl', or 'watch your language there's ladies present'. It's toxic to any gender.

Maybe it will surprise someone, but ladies can also lead a perverted conversion.

I live near this couple and they have a small dog with a relatively short curly coat and two HUGE Husky-looking dogs with long, long, thick fur. Also, did I mention I live in a tropical country ON the equator so the daily temperature is ~30 degrees celcius every day?

The whole "if you don't do this because you feel bad, you're weak" mentality. My mother unknowingly has this (mainly around periods because of how people acted towards her when she was my age) and it's really problematic. I have to go through life as if nothing is wrong in copious amounts of pain, until I get home and can flop on the couch and swear at everything.

People licking their fingers and then touching something else. It's not only disgusting but unsanitary. Ex. Customers lick their fingers to separate bags. Stop doing this. How do any of us know you aren't sick or carrying some kind of transmittable disease? Then there's my mom. A week ago, she made porkchops but, one of the porkchops was stuck to the aluminum foul so what does she do? She licks her fingers and then tries to separate it from the foil. Naturally, I refused to touch that porkchop after what she did. She didn't get what the "big deal" was and I had to tell her it was disgusting. That I didn't want the porkchop after she licked her fingers.

I will probably get downvoted because it’s ‘inappropriate’ but I’m so confused why men nipples can be seen but not women’s

Being late. Its very rude especially if you don’t let the person know in advance. In some countries it’s normal to be late but most of the time it’s frowned upon. I’m not gonna wait for you to show up an hour later for my party because at that point just don’t come. Especially if you don’t let me know in advance. Being on time makes a great first impression in general.

The utter ignorance of proper language usage. With predictive text, spell check and speech to text, there really is no time saved by using countless abbreviations and acronyms. More than a few times I have misunderstood the meaning of a message or a post because the author used an acronym that was easily confused for something else. If something is important enough to say, let alone write, shouldn’t it be important enough to be sure the meaning is understood by everyone?
To quote a great work of fiction ‘Inherit the Wind’ by Jerome Lawrence - “I don’t swear just for the hell of it. Language is a poor enough means of communication. I think we should use all the words we’ve got. Besides, there are damn few words that anybody understands.” Spoken by character Henry Drummond.

Exactly... We shouldn't become grammar police, but I've spent way too many times wondering how may more milliseconds it would have taken for that person to write "by the way" instead of "btw". Using one or two abbreviations occasionally is ok, but there are people who construct entire sentences out of them.
