I had this happen years ago, randomly bumped into an ex co-worker while out shopping with my girlfriend at the time, ex co-worker rushed up to us and started apologising for running late for our lunch date. I stood totally clueless, my girlfriend threw her arms around the ex co-worker (they had met once before at a works do) and said glad she had finally turned up but the table was booked for only three (bloke left). Blew my mind when they explained over lunch.

Love that one. Sadly they still don't have pockets that often >.<

"Oh Yea? Tell me all about it"

You might see something you don't wanna see, for my phone you'd just see random pictures of dogs. But be careful.

Do people really need to be told this? If so...YIKES!

"Valuables" LOL

no it makes sense it should be their moment

My son's first word was dad, I never told his mum as he said Äiti (mum in Finnish) soon after and she was so happy

Yeah, I think that's really kind not to take those special firsts from the parents.

This did not happen to me, my kindergarten teacher told my mum as she came to pick me up. I was quite late walking thought.

Worse, some young kids will at some point for a short while think all caretakers are "mom." Not all moms understand this. Always correct and try not to let mom find out. "Mom's at work now, I'm auntie how can I help you?" "There's mom say hi mom!" Even if it's their only word to get a caretaker's attention right now they'll learn a new easy word very quickly if you give them one.

I found this oddly pleasant when I was told about it.

Absolutely! Let them have the 'first' experience. It is important to Parents.

good one

What happens if the baby hurts itself walking: "How did my baby get to the steps to fall down them?"

I don't know about this. Maybe it is only me, but I don't want to be the last one to knows my child has achieved this kind of milestone. I would 1000 times prefer people telling me than they keeping silent, because whatever idea they had in their minds... but again, if I asked the day care personal, (or preschool teacher for oher milestones) they most certainly will lie to me and pretend they do know nothing... so why on earth should I trust them with my child's care, when they are not going to tell me the truth anyway... what makes them trustworthy??

Unless the parent is an asshole

Don't watch porn either. Or you can, just to overpower Alana's garbage FB videos.

His appearances are all flawless.

and don't ask when she'll have kids either

Gotta give them a couple test clicks to make sure everything is in order.

yes! this! I always thought western Europe was civilized until I rode metro there... and I would add: after you exit dont f*****g stop right in front of the door, move the f**k out of the way!

Also, wave at the driver who lets you cut in when there is an unbelievable rush and you've been waiting for long enough to get into the lane. A friendly honk is welcome too.

That's exactly why many people wear headphones. To avoid small talk

Well, of course you do. :-)

If it's alcohol, offer ONCE only and then if they say no, leave it alone without commenting on their decision in any way. The same can go for food - more people than we know have eating disorders.

I never do that to books, not even to books I own.

I would add smelly cheese as well... sadly, my coworkers don't read this site, so it will be in vain :|

And slap it?

Unless they're a senior citizen. This might still seem rude to you, but it might be the only way they know how to answer their phone or hear the conversation.

I know my room looks messy, but everything still has a place. Don’t put my stuff just anywhere, you monster

My husband does this several times a day in our house ^___^

We have the same saying in Greece

I'm glad I'm not the only one

I have looked at a microwave multiple times and always wondered why the time was never accurate

And say thank you when someone holds the door for you

Unbelievably irritating. I don't need to watch you process your bites, Alana.

You don't take pictures of ANYBODY without permission.

I remember (overhearing) my mam giving advice to my big sister, which included 'ALWAYS carry tampons & pads, even when you're not on your period. You never know when you friend might need one'. For 3 years I carried around female sanitary products! Before I realised my friends were not likely to ask me, what with me being a boy.

Toy guns are as necessary as the plague.

This is a written rule in the Netherlands actually.

An open zipper should fly high on this list.

I believe in the exchange of abilities and do not accept money from friends Everybody has different ones, so we help each other out. Works like a charm. This does not involve costs for spare parts or similar, of course.

And sometimes you are the person in most need.

thats plain mean

This is assuming that all weddings have the white wedding dress thing. It's only an english-speaking world thing, as far as I can tell. I've been to a number of weddings here where the bride wore something else eg. shweshwe fabric.

Not even when it's a one night stand?

yes it soooo annoying when someone points out that the teach forgot to check homework

I've actually seen someone sneeze 11 times in a row (granted they were slightly spaced out but still)

And as soon as they leave...

It doesn't matter if you refuse, you'll eat it anyway

We "needed" a pandemic to occur, in order for some people to learn how to wash their hands.

As an aged person, I compromise by plonking my forehead on the wall and muttering "why is this taking so long?"

If the unexpected happens, CLEAN IT UP!!

Better.. tell them indivudually that the other one is almost deaf... THEN leave the room and let em start a convo...
