I was mislead by the Honking Problem at first. I thought it was going to talk about farting.

Interesting, but it all should be common sense. Then again, there's nothing wrong with a reminder, every once in a while.

I have issues with the "Nickel & Diming" one.

Their response shows no consideration for those on a budget. Or for those who don't want to subsidize someone's steak and lobster dinner when they only had a salad.

That's an exceptional case, like students.

Well, we all do those stuff listed there sometimes. It's amazing how many people forget those things are rude.

Sometimes I join a group of people to visit each other or go out. Then it is courtesy that the students pay less, than people who are older pay a bit more. The ones without a job also pay more, but they are compensated on a later time in silence to avoid awkward moments for them.

I'm not rude, I'm just eccentric

So do I. If I'm eating out, I make sure I eat only what I can afford; if other people want to buy more expensive things, they should pay for them themselves.

I don't like it when people eat with their mouths open, or when people shovel their food in their mouths.

My former fiance is Chinese and their etiquette in terms of table manners is a bit different to say the least!

In response to "Nickel & Dimes": That's why restaurants have the option of seperate bills. And the bills really should be seperate, unless someone paid for something earlier or later. It makes a good compromise.

I second what Jaw said. It should be common sense.

However, does anyone else hate it when
people try to cut in front of you in a line?
{Especially at the grocery store or the post office?}

And having three people "lighting up"
six inches away from your face
when waiting for the bus? {Even when it's a nice, sunny day.}

Don't get me started about spitting.
