People sticking their gum on things (like on a lampost or on a table rather than in the bin)
Spitting in genera (but in crowded places like a bus or tram stop is even more grim)
People speaking really loud on the phone when On public transport
People that skateboard who go really fast on the pavement and swerve around people

Loud burping in public makes me feel sick, especially in restaurants, vom.
Loud phone conversations.
Littering.
People stopping right in front of you as you’re walking or slow walkers in general.
People in supermarkets who just push their trolley around like Dale Winton is gonna give them money at the end of their shop, die in a hole.

People do where I'm from (in Worcestershire) too, I think it's not really possible in London though because: 1) there are so many people everywhere, 2) nobody hardly ever gets off at the front door, just middle/back, 3) the bus driver is behind some thing that makes it difficult to hear things anyway I think

One time in a waiting room not that long ago (I believe for a doctor's appointment or something), this old guy kept farting and then sniffing excessively following the farts.
A deadly bad combo
Not necessarily something I couldn't stand though (although I could literally smell it as well as hear the farts & constant sniffs).. I was cracking up that he kept doing this for multiple minutes. Tried to cover my laughing and act like I was laughing at something on my phone :joker:

I usually try to sneeze/cough looking down towards the ground which is full of all kinds of germs anyway. It's better than on your hands which we all use to touch everything IMO (unless you're near a sink or have some kind of hand sanitizer on you)
Edit: well for a cough I'll usually cough into the side of my fist where I'm least likely to spread any germs

That's stupid. You're still contaminating the air with your germs, it's not going to stick to the floor just because you're looking down loov.
Cough into your sleeve/elbow so you don't spread it around when you touch something.

People in general are just awful when it comes to talking to retail workers, customer service desks, etc. Whenever I need to queue for either I often cringe at how some (usually older) people talk to them.
Charity canvassers that roll their eyes or go overly guilt-trippy whenever you make an excuse not to talk to them, as if you've just stamped on a 3 year old's head in broad daylight.
Oh and the worst has to be children swearing. Obviously I don't mind swearing myself but there is no uglier sound than someone under the age of 10 saying "**** off".

That's something I can't stand in public... someone sneezing into their arm/sleeve and then there's snot hanging off of it :skull: Or someone sneezing inside their shirt :yuk:
You're right about it contaminating the air tho... but especially if you're sitting and sneeze downwards I think it's not as bad as sneezing in your hand and then touching something else or just sneezing straight out in front of you like some do. :fan:

For me personally I hate spitting on the floor, drivers trying to drive over me on the road when it's the passengers turn to cross.
And I also hate couples and older generations walking in front of me as they block the path either by holding hands on narrow paths (the couple) or they have big Mobility Scooters blocking the path which means that I'm waiting ages to get past them (the elderly) I know that they can't help being on a Mobility Scooter, but they should offer to let me go past them considering they just spend a lot of their time chatting to their friends.
I also hate Dog Poo on the floor, and awkward customers at McDonald's.
slow, day dreaming walkers spread across the breadth of the pavement annoy the crap out of me :fist:

Because crossing the road is the only reason why people hold hands right? And how are PDA's disgusting? It's to show how much you love and care for someone.
Haven't you ever displayed affection in public for your partner, Adam?

Don't take up the whole goddamn conveyor for 10 shopping items, move it alll close together and use the "next customer please" plastic strips.
Also, if you're walking on a busy street in a city centre, don't just stop dead on the spot for no reason whatsoever.
...walking too closely behind someone so that it’s an issue if someone has to unavoidably stop suddenly...very annoying...

Strictly Jake

Oh where do I start
Basically going to the supermarket is a frigging battleground
Ok so first of all trying to get to your parking space is difficult with cars pretty much ramming up your backside everyone going round and round really fast like it's the formula one. Then eventually reaching the parent and child bays only to find they are full and the majority of cars in them don't even have kids! It's either vans, old people(im sure they can park in disabled) or just plain lazy people it's so rude because having to drag two kids under the age of 3 across a massive car park isn't fun
Ok let's now enter the shop. People pushing past you to get a trolley then coming in a line toward you so you can't get in the shop so you let them pass and none of them say thank you. Then it's always full of old people who I swear get in people's way on purpose! They stand near the items you need so can't get to them or leave their trolley their. People ramming you with trollies. People tutting because my kids are tired and crying a little bit. Then you have done your shopping you go to self service and people stand behind you getting frustrated because your not rushing doing it even though there are lots of other free self service checkouts near by....
As for self service checkouts they are so bossy and fussy and then you have to wait for assistance which takes like ten minutes then they always looked annoyed they have to give you assistance
Oh and all the smelly people there too
I may have to start online shopping
Has anyone noticed that old people are the absolute worst for bad manners?

Well yeah it's what they are there for they are wider spaces so it's safer and closer to the shop so it's safer. Yet everyone still parks in them!! I don't even park in them when I don't have the kids with me when I could get away with it as the baby seats are in the car but out of principle I refuse to do it. Saira Khan was on loose women talking about this a few weeks ago saying she parks in them because she is a mum when she doesn't have the kids with her and her kids are older but it doesn't specify age. Put me right off her!
