I absolutely agree with this.. never take the freedom to express..

Ditto for talking on your phone!

My opinion is the only time you need another 'child' is when it's an animal; example: I have 3 leopard geckos--not just one--so they have friends.

We do not get paid enough for your rude/mean/ignorant comments, but we have to put on a brave face or risk getting fire.

Even in lifts.. if this happens in a lift and it's a friend I say "do you think I was in the lift to kidnap you?" Specially if it's the first or last floor..

Or about someone's medical problem(s) because they can't control it.

THIS!

I cannot agree with this more. I wish more people did this.

That’s a given, the only time it is okay is if the bride and groom are happy with it. Also don’t wear a white dress.

This should be higher

Guys they made a good point, whether or not they spelled "you're" correctly. Maybe we should learn some manners like the author suggested and stop rudely pointing out other's grammatical mistakes.

I agree for the most part but in some cultures it is a show of appreciation. We have a friend that is Chinese and he is an extremely loud chewer and chews with his mouth open and that is the way he was brought up. So whilst it maybe annoying for many we just have to deal with it because that is his culture.

sleep is precious~

YES! Your doc doesn't care if you used drugs, he just needs to know so other procedures do not kill you because of that. Also, he's not even allowed to report you to police.

True but for some things the other person may not be able to afford one of their own. We have lent our lawnmower out to a friend a few times but he can’t afford to buy one for himself. He is trustworthy so we have no issues lending it to him.

This should apply to big family groups walking at a snail’s pace in staggered formation through IKEA. Why on earth have you taken 3 generations there for a day out anyway? IKEA is a terribly disorientating circle of hell anyway without making it worse.

Omg yes, I find this super frustrating.

When I moved back to New Zealand from Japan, I noticed that we tend to give a reason more than Japanese people do. I don’t dislike that; in fact, in a lot of cases I think just think “S**t happens; you don’t need to offer the reason for my approval”.

surprising how many people don't wash their hands after using public toilets even in covid

Only borrow if you are insured to drive that car. Uninsured drivers are breaking the law.

I really hate it when people do that. I have a phone, you have a phone, everyone and their uncle have a phone, just give me a heads up.

Looks eerily like the room in the beginning of portal 2

I can't afford that, but I might carry you home.

It’s sad that this even needs to be mentioned.

Also, please put your dogs on a leash! I can't tell you how many times I have been walking my dog and someone's off leash dog has come charging at us. "Don't worry, he's friendly" they always yell. Well good for you, but my dog is not. He was bit by a "good dog" who was not on a leash and is traumatized by strange dogs running up to him. Just because your dog is well behaved doesn't mean everyone's is.

This includes bass in a sound system for TVs when in apartment living.

Be kind, period.

Or boil eggs!

I don't have a plunger in my house... should I worry?

be predictable = use your blinkers and use them before your car is already turning

But then it puts pressure on the person and makes it awkward. The person with most expensive bill should offer that everyone pays for their own.. or as we say India TTMM: Tu tera, mein mera (roughly translates to: you pay yours, I'll pay mine)

Why not perfume or cologne? I'd say "do not pour half the bottle" as many people do, but a little? Everything smells, really, and I think the smell of "people", like sweat or God only knows what else, is far more annoying than perfume.

The police interviewers really like this one

Why do you have gaps in bathroom stalls?

I have done this once as a teen but instead of a urinal it was a toilet, and of course I ended up wetting the bed. I have had many dreams about toilets but they are usually gross, have no doors, flooded, full of crap, covered in toilet paper etc so I never use the toilet in those dreams and don’t wake up needing to pee. Bit of a gross dream I know but I can’t help it lol.

Exception to this: chronic or severe illness (ex: cancer) I am in and out of the hospital frequently and am sick quite often. My brain is also drained dealing with appointments and treatments and such. The friends who understand when I have to cancel AND ask me again in a few days to reschedule make a huge difference. They are some of my biggest support while I am trying to fight this.

How about 'cancel for a good reason' because you don't know how hard it was for the other person to clear a spot in their schedule.

And, don't be the person who never responds, in case something better might pop up last minute. Just as bad as cancelling.

I wish everyone heard this... I’ll always get canceled on, but no one else seems to care that I need to re-schedule everything else

This list started do nice with things like leaving room for one another in doing what you like and going down has turned into a s**t show of telling others what to do and what not to do. F**k off, your friends, don't be this person. Instead be friends, take care of eachother, figure things out together....be equals.

This one seemed strange... if their your friend why would they care if you cancel or not? Cool hit me up later!

I have chronic migraines due to a TBI an accident in the military. When I schedule anything with a friend, I always have to tell them to "Pencil it in" by now they know what I mean. Migraines don't have a schedule! New meds are helping to control them, but still ... Thankfully, after 40+ years of dealing with them, my REAL friends understand.

I'll apologize in advance for all of us introverts. Sorry!

oh my gosh yes!

I have not been reminded I am an introvert more then I have by reading this calendar and recoiling due to all the social appointments

With one exception: if a billionaire ever takes me out to dinner, I am gonna enjoy. Yes, I know it's not gonna happen, but being honest.

But don’t whisper around other people coz it is rude.

and understand that noone wants to hear your phone convo either.
