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.

This is universally accepted but clearly not universally known!! I know many people that don't know that and keep doing it

* coughs* mom * coughs*

This is very important.

I have a special album titled “show and tell” and while people may scroll through them nobody has ever exited the album to look for more.

My coworker wanted to show me a picture on her phone, but accidentally went back to the camera roll as she was handing it to me. All I could say was that there was a lot of beige in those pictures. She apologized. It wasn't a big deal. We laughed about it later. Not happy with the thought that her kid might see it though.

They may not want you to see those awful selfies they forgot to delete.

Facts

IF somebody has photos on their phone that they don't want others to see, then they should be sure to get them OFF before they hand their phone to anybody else 'to see'

Introvert here, don't hand me your germ laden phone and expect me to look at it for more than a millisecond.

So true. This should have been up

That's just common sense. Who does that?

Just rude to do that

I hate when people do that!

Who even does this tho srsly 😒

My mom does this, al the time😅

This is why we don't hand phones to my mother...

Be discreet, not curious

true but I would love to look especially if she's attractive. She might have some nudes

Wish my ex knew that. That's one of several reasons why he's an ex.

Please don't then your going to ask me how you know her and I'll say who and you'll say my mom and I'll say oooooo

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

"Valuables" LOL

no it makes sense it should be their moment

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.
