If I can hear what you're listening to through your headphones then you've got it on too loud
If I can hear what you’re listening to through your headphones over what I’m listening to on my headphones then you’ll soon be deaf
Don't engage the cashier/teller/console operator/shopkeep in conversation at the expense of the 2000 people in the line behind you. He/she doesn't care for you and neither do we.
Or, conversely, don’t talk on your phone while you “engage” the cashier.
Respond to a text message promptly. Not straight away, but certainly within the day it was sent. Everyone's glued to their phones 24 7 - don't pretend that you didn't see it, and don't treat it like an email where you can respond at your leisure. Take the 6 seconds it takes to fire off a response.
ffs
Doesn’t take me 6 seconds to type ffs, but good advice. I now know how to respond to any text. Just three letters. Abrupt. Laconic even.
When joining friends for dinner, assume the bill will be split evenly. Don't argue about who ate more garlic bread. Just farking pay. And whilst on the subject, have enough cash at hand to cover your share + tip. No one likes a tight a*se.
I can’t agree with this. If I order the soup and someone else orders the steak, 4 beers and dessert then they should pay their share.
Swings and round-a-bouts. Next time, eat like a man.
Yeah nah. If I was eating/drinking more than the average, then not putting in a bit more would make me feel like a $&@€£.
Also had a recent extended family do where one family representing about half the group went nuts on the shared food, had multiple drinks when others had a single each (was a relatively brief catch up). One member of that family - just when it was appropriate to wrap up and leave - then ordered a second meal, ate half and took the rest in doggy bag, and then quickly figured out everyone’s due based on an even split. Was a bit not right.

My wife is your daughter in law and the mother of two of your grand children. She is an important part of my life and you should consider her family. A simple birthday message through facebook is just not good enough.

PS: ffs
Texts are way better.
In seriousness hate it when you ask someone a question ythiugh WhatsApp/messenger/iMessage and it has read but no reply is given. ■■■■■■■■ don’t make me call you.

Well if you know a better way to get a date with a 16 year old then I’d like to hear it.

Honestly don’t have my phone with me like that, sometimes it’s hanging in the laundry window for a day & night acting as a wifi modem and I don’t see it for ages.
And I’m super guilty for that anyway, for the lot.
Calls, emails texts, even PM’s here, … I sometimes see it and I’m driving, or busy, and as I like to put a bit of thought into things, think, I’ll answer that later … and thanks to early onset Andruskas …, it can end up much later.
A collective apology to any here who may have been victim of my etiquette challenged, phone ignorant, memory loss exacerbated, apparently Gen Y mandated rudeness… :neutral:

When the supermarket is quiet and there are checkouts with no queues, don’t walk past them and go to the self-serve checkout. Come on.
