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.

I learned this working at the local steel mill. They had a course (1 full day) and signs everywhere. The sign shop here really is a multinational now. So, the signs: Do not block entrances, do not stand in certain areas that are marked in certain colours etc.... And then they showed us our opponent. 30-40 metric ton coils of steel. Some as hot as 800° C. They do not argue, they do not talk, they do not bully. They just follow their automated way of transport. You become self aware there very quickly or you die.

If you stop in front of me I will walk in to you. I'm massive enough that you will notice.

Don't stop to check your phone or chat to someone when you're in a doorway! I regularly see people exiting shops and stopping to pull out their phone, blocking the door for everyone else. I also worked at a company where people would stop in doorways to chat about all sorts of stuff because they saw a colleague coming from the opposite direction. Stand to one side and conduct your conversation out of the way!

People who stop at the top of the escalator.

That’s something you need to be taught as a child. I can’t tell you how many times my parents used to say be aware of the surroundings. Their voice still echoes in my head.

Especially don't walk six abreast down the MUP, forcing people to go onto the grass to pass you.

Yes! Step. To. The. SIDE.

Be aware when wearing a backpack that you are hitting people behind you when you turn

I need to admit that I am always annoying because I have zero self awareness. I really try but I get distracted and I end up annoying people

LOL. Welcome to Seoul. People have no peripheral vision and zero f***s to give.

AMEN!

No man is an island was a thing, yeas?

Because I have major problems with my getaway sticks, I walk very slowly with a cane. I stay to one side yet everyone zooms in front of me, to the sides, and behind me. I'd get back in my wheelchair if I could get into more stores, buildings, sidewalks, and bathrooms. And I am aware of my areas.

I have an electric wheelchair and if the sidewalk is narrow I take up most of it. I always say sorry but get some nasty comments.

I hate when you are in a line to pay at a restaurant (remember when we used to go out to one?), and 3 people are in line when only one of them is paying. Stay seated at your table, visit the restroom, stand some other place!

Also, this photo is London, so there are no sidewalks, only pavements

And move your shopping cart to the side of the aisle.

LADIES, stop dragging your husband/boyfriend with you to go shopping. He does not want to be there, and he is usually in the way of other shoppers. This also goes to people who drag their small infants/children out late at night. They are crying because they are hungry/tired/need to be changed and really should not be out past 8:00pm!

Virtually NO ONE is aware in this way. People act heavily entitled in their self-absorption

This is along the lines of #1 - common sense. #2 - having manners.

YUP. My kids were running around on their scooters down a pathway today and we practiced staying on our rights when someone is walking by. Have to teach them in the house all the time to not just stop. The dog does it, too.

Yes, when in a group, don't walk shoulder-to-shoulder when walking down a sidewalk. It takes up the whole sidewalk, and it's a tell that you're a tourist from a small town in a big city, making you a target.

Road rage...no Walking rage..YES

Especially when traveling and at the airport. Get out of other people's way.

I hate the people who wander down the middle of the parking lot. Wandering like cows in a field. I moo at them.

is this an American joke that I'm too new Zealand to understand?

Here's mine, when you're biking, and there's a group of people who walks shoulder to shoulder, and doesn't want to move.

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.
